Cupcake War Crimes, Week 7 (Tuesday, Period 1)

The classroom was set up in the usual fashion. And the alien boys were up front as usual.

"This is our last week together," Stark said, a little sadly. He would miss them. Or possibly he’d miss having a captive audience to talk about cupcakes with. Perhaps, and most likely, it was a combination of the two.

Anders patted Stark lightly on the shoulder, and if he was betting on the answer to Stark’s narrative he’d bet on "a combination of the two." Which he wasn’t doing at the moment. (Maybe later.) "You’re not getting away without a final," he put in, "but it’s a final where you get to eat. That’s okay with you guys, right?"



On the trays behind the aliens was an assortment of cupcakes. For once they weren’t clearly divided between what your teachers considered scary cupcakes and delicious ones. Today the cupcakes were all mixed in together. There were cupcakes with mushrooms next to chocolate ones with peanut butter frosting. Ginger and molasses cupcakes next to ones made with okra and fennel. There were Meyer lemon and raspberry cupcakes cavorting with olive oil cupcakes with lemon, thyme, and a balsamic vinegar whipped cream. And toasted ravioli cupcakes snuggled innocently up to some sugary, bacony, decadent looking breakfast cupcakes. (It was the final, after all. Nobody said it was going to be, well, a cupcake walk.)

"Your task," Stark said, gazing longingly at a chocolate glazed mocha cupcake, "is to identify the cupcakes here. Not ingredients," he quickly clarified.

"They’re not separated today," Anders added, giving the students a look like he was trying to impress the Seriousness of this on them. "It’s up to you guys to figure out which is which using only your wits. And tastebuds."

Stepping to one side, he gestured to a large picture of the Cupcake Wars hosts put up across one wall, with a tarp on the floor beneath it. "And if you get the bad ones, you can use ‘em for target practice."

Stark nodded his approval, though he was somewhat concerned that the good cupcakes might end up flying as well. That would be such a terrible waste. "Before we begin though, we should congratulate Rilla Blythe. You win for last week." After 5 winners, Stark still wasn’t sure how they were chosen or by whom. Neither was Anders; he was blaming it on gremlins.

Sam was laying a bit lower than usual today. After yesterday's gremlin fueled antics, she was still trying to rid herself of the taste of park bench.

Well, as low as Sam could lay. Which mostly meant she was sitting there scowling at people and wishing she'd thought to bring some bacon in her school bag, today.

Now I want to know what your Netflix queue did to earn your ire.

Bod's eyes were scanning those cupcakes as if just looking would tell him what those cupcakes were. He was certain he could recognize some ingredients but the overall cupcake flavor was eluding him.

Bod took awhile trying to figure out which cupcake he wanted to try. Eventually and maybe unfortunately, he chose the toasted ravioli cupcake. When he bit into it, the taste wasn't bad but it definitely was unexpected since he'd thought he'd be biting into either cheese or meat.

The cupcake was actually pretty good. The apple cinnamon was a good choice and Bod finished the cupcake easily. "It's good whatever it is."

Stark had snagged one of the mocha cupcakes for himself. He's happy to chat between mouthfuls though.

Raven had to look beseechingly at her teachers. "Can you please tell me which ones contain meat?" she said. "I cannot eat those, even for a taste test."

Rilla squealed happily when she was announced as the winner. The folks at home would never believe it!

Guess who found the okra and fennel one.

While her nose was not so advanced as others, Caroline was not above sniffing the cupcakes to avoid disaster, selecting an herb-y one that turned out to be thyme. She decided it was a little strange, but not unpleasant and okay, maybe she wanted to try something a little scarier and so she reached for another taste test.

Annoyed that she still hadn't won anything, Caroline thought she might have to give this baking thing more practice. At least she knew she hadn't made anything totally gross. That was a plus.
