Cupcake War Crimes, Week 2 [Tuesday, Period 1]

Once again the Home Ec classroom was looking very Home Ec-y with cupcake supplies taking up most of the available counter space at the workstations. And once again the two unlikely alien boys were at the front of the room ready to teach. Or at least wax poetic about cupcakes.



“You came back,” Stark said, pleased to see that at least some students had in fact returned for their second class. “Welcome back.”

“We were worried we scared you guys off,” Anders confided with a lopsided grin but not the trademark Solo lopsided grin. “Okay, just a little.” On his part, anyway. If Stark had been more worried, he wasn’t going to say so, and anyway, he figured it was a legitimate concern.

“Some of you guys,” he went on, “had an interesting take on the meatloaf cupcakes that got brought up last week, so I can’t wait to see what you have to say about --” He uncovered a plate of what looked less like cupcakes and more like fancy sandwiches with flags stuck in them. If sandwiches contained entire chunks of corn, cob and all, that was.

Anders gave everybody a Yeeeeeeeeeah look. “These.”

Stark eyed the so-called cupcakes warily, then turned his attention back to the students. “Yes. These. Not even really cupcakes. Are they?” It was quite clear from his expression which side of that particular debate Stark fell on. But then he took his cupcakes very seriously.

“Personally,” Anders put in, “I feel like they’re closer to sandwiches. Only . . .” He squinted at the plate of pulled-pork . . . somethings. “With cupcakes instead of bread. Sketchy, if you ask me. But how about you guys debate that for a few minutes, and then experiment with making some cupcakes of your own?”

“We left you many choices of ingredients,” Stark said. “For when you start baking.”

Including some incredibly dubious ones. It was a test, okay? To see if students would really risk that or not.

Anders was just going to swipe some of the turkey, actually -- purely in the interest of discouraging people from using it. Or just being hungry. Shh.

Raven still wasn't sure how she'd ended up in this class. She was sure, however, that Professor Stark and Professor Anders were finding these cupcakes in a hell dimension.

Raven was going nowhere near the pork, turkey, or tuna, of course.

She was making an effort to follow the directions closely. She'd learned the hard way with Karla that improvisation was not good for cooking.

"I have no problem with pork on its own, but it does not belong in a cupcake," said Lion-o. "As for the corn... well, I'm not sure."

Having spent a lot of time in the kitchen at Café Fina, Lion-o had no problem with a basic cupcake recipe. He also took some tuna as he gathered up his ingredients, but that was for snacking on while the cupcakes were in the oven.

Alex looked horrified at the cupcakes, trying and failing to imagine what that might taste like.

And no, he really did not want to find out.
godofxbox: ([comic] Iiiiii don't think so)

"Those are just wrong," Alex declared. "Wrong."

Alex was going to attempt to make some ordinary cupcakes (no meat products, thank you very much), but he didn't have much previous baking experience--some box mixes, and he'd even managed to screw those up a time or two. So he was being very careful to follow the directions, and even then he spent the entire time hoping he was doing this right.

How he managed to get batter on his forehead was anyone's guess.

They looked so wrong, and yet... "I'm still tempted."

It took a lot to put Chuck off his food, it really did.

It was a cupcake. With pork.

Sam was totally going to fail this class, because she personally thought that was an awesome idea.

"They have cupcake parts," Sam said. "I'm really not seeing the problem here."

Yes. She really was. Sam went with a vanilla cupcake and then spent several minutes staring at the batter in the cups trying to work out how to best put the various meats in the center.

She was this close to skipping the baking part entirely and just eating all the ingredients as is.

"It's pork," Sam agreed. "And corn! It can't really go wrong!"
