Cupcake War Crimes (Take 2), Week 1 (Thurs/3rd Period)
The classroom (for anyone who’d been in the class the first session) was set up in typical Home Ec style by way of the Food Network, with cooking stations for the students and a counter up front. Though the Food Network wasn’t likely to hire the two guys up front as hosts any time soon, not when one of them looked like he should be on ESPN instead and the other sported a metal half-mask strapped to his face.
"Hey, everyone," Anders said as the students arrived, "and welcome back to those of you taking this class again. To recap for anyone who wasn’t, this class is all about the dos and don’ts of one of the best foods the gods -- or whoever -- ever invented. Cupcakes. Because there are wrong things to do with cupcakes, as far as we’re concerned."
He held his hands up. "Your mileage may vary, turns out -- we had a few people in class last term who had some pretty strong opposite opinions, and we’re not gonna tell you you can’t. But that’s part of the fun of getting to mess around and make your own."
"But just because you can doesn’t mean you should," Stark put in. "Sometimes you shouldn’t." That sushi cupcake he had unwisely tasted last session was probably going to haunt him forever. He glanced at Anders, gave a tiny sigh, and continued reluctantly, "but just because you shouldn’t doesn’t mean you can’t. But you still shouldn’t."
"We don’t endorse it," Anders added, then uncovered one of the trays of cupcakes. "I think most of us can agree on chocolate mocha cupcakes being good though, right, guys?" Then, uncovering the other tray: "Toasted ravioli ones, on the other hand . . ."
"Are questionable," Stark said. Which he felt was a nicely diplomatic way of putting it. See, he was trying! Even if he did think the supporters of the strange and frightening cupcakes were misguided and to be pitied. "You can try both if you want, or one. Or neither. We have plenty." And a couple of mochas set aside for the instructors.
Also possibly a secret stash. "Today we’ll keep it simple," Anders told them. "First week, introductions, one thing you think should belong in a cupcake and one that shouldn’t, then we’ll set you loose on the kitchen to try making a few of your own." He hoped no one would try to inflict the more questionable ones on their classmates.
"We’ll taste them," Stark said. "And tell you who won next week." The winners were still a mystery to him. He was sure that some from last time shouldn’t have won and yet somehow they still had.
"It’s a totally scientific method," Anders added. No, it wasn’t. "Oh, right -- I’m Anders. Samuel Anders, but just Anders -- not Mister Anders, not Professor Anders -- is fine. I didn’t graduate from this place that long ago."
"And I’m Stark," the other alien instructor said. "Just Stark. No titles. Just Stark."
"He graduated from here too," Anders said because he was helpful like that. "Momoko’s going to be your TA this session, so feel free to ask her any cupcake-related questions too. Anyway, I think that’s it, so get to the introducing and then go wild with the cupcakes, guys."
