Cupcake War Crimes, Take 2, Week 7 [8/18, 3rd period]

[stykera]

The set up of the Home Ec room was slightly different this week. No trays or display cases of cupcakes were visible [unless you want them to be, whatevs, I am easy.]. And at least one instructor had a somewhat mopey expression on his face. Or his half-a-face, if you wanted to get technical. The instructor with a whole face wasn’t completely mopey, but he wasn’t all smiles either.



“Looks like the clock’s running down to the final seconds here, guys,” Anders told everyone. “So we’ve got a little bit of a final for you here.”

“Not much talking today,” Stark put in. “More baking. You can talk. We just won’t. Much. Unless someone is talking to us.”

“Because today it’s all up to you what you think is the right call for cupcakes,” Anders went on. “Stark, want to uncover the board?” Oh, yes. There was a board.

Of course Stark wanted to uncover the board. That was the first step towards cupcakes, after all. So he did so, nodding once to Anders. He wasn’t the sort to say “ta-da!”, which was unfortunate, as this was a perfect opportunity to do so. Once it was uncovered, the students would be able to read the day’s assignment. Or at least a list of terms, which would hopefully make sense as an assignment in a moment. The list included things like gremlin bites, invasions, alternate universe children, tiny creatures that follow you around and sometimes hug you, summer cabin time, and teal deer.

“Today we want you to make Fandom cupcakes,” Stark said, gesturing at the board.

“It’s a theme day,” Anders filled in. “We’re not gonna tell you what exactly goes into a Fandom cupcake; that’s up to you. But pick a theme from the list on the board, go wild in the ingredients cabinets, and try to come up with what, to you, makes a cupcake that reminds you of it.”

Shut up. They weren’t sentimental about their time as students at all. Not even a little bit.

Bake! [CWC, 8/18]

Interpret the themes as loosely as you want. Go crazy with the moddable ingredients. But not too crazy. Fish, after all, are still unacceptable.

Fandom cupcakes? Sam hadn't been here all that long and school spirit wasn't really anything he took seriously. A morbid part of his mind wanted to make the cupcakes grey but he thought that might be insensitive.

He was tossing flour around to look busy though. His arm hurt less though he'd still covered the laceration with a bandage. It'd heal soon and he'd be rid of that.

Cassidy was relieved that her hands were finally back to normal and she wasn't having to wear gloves. She studied the themes and started working on a recipe for children.

Miley was making a batch of the most colorful cupcakes the world had ever seen. Seriously, it was probably dangerous to have cupcakes that bright.

It seemed fitting.

Mercy started making teal cupcakes decorated with small candy deer.

Freddie figured Fandom Cupcakes needed to be... well, a mix of things.

So into the marble cake base in went the chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, caramel, and sprinkles. On top would go a rainbow of frosting.

"This is always way too fun," he remarked, in general.

Toby was going to stay away from the summer cabin time theme, all things considered, but he *did* assemble ingredients with the intent of making gremliny cupcakes, complete with little teeth made of candy decorating the top. Of course, whether his plan would actually turn out anything like what he'd envisioned was another matter.
