Friendship is Baking!!!!1!, Wednesday, Period 3

"No, see?" Pinkie was saying, just as class was due to start. "It's actually totally easy! I'll show you."

What she proceeded to demonstrate involved a fair amount of breaking of eggs (deliberately, even), sifting of flour and cheese, measuring out infinitesimal amounts of flavorings, and above all else, a whole lot of whisking. Somehow, through a process clearly accelerated to some sort of super-human frame rate, all of this somehow included a lovely display of knife juggling and resulted in a perfect cheese souffle, in approximately a minute and a half.

Pinkie set her souffle down -- gently, so the center quivered delicately -- as her timer let out a cheerful *DING!*

"See? Totally simple?"

Yuh-huh. Totally.

Derek sighed, looking up at the ceiling. "Why couldn't we just do donuts?" Look, deep frying was so much easier than souffles. If you ignored the potential for grease burns.

There was that.

Pinkie rolled her eyes. "Duh, we've been doing baking for weeks, now, so it's time for some advanced classes. Now put on your apron. That goes for all you guys, too!" she told the class. "It's time to get cooking like Julia Filly!"

Of course there was an Equestria Julia Child equivalent. Of course.

Souffles weren't supposed to kind of explode into a mess of fluff, right?

Because that was what was going to happen here soon. It was just destiny when you let Isabelle loose on a recipe like this.

Brace yourselves, fellow students working nearby.

Rilla noticed how close she was to Isabelle's station and took a few steps away.

Just in case.

That was really for the best. Because when Isabelle's souffles came out of the oven, yeah, one of them kind of erupted all over.

"... Huh."

"That can't be right," Rilla replied, wrinkling her nose up.

"It's a new kind of souffle," Isabelle lied. Wiping souffle off her shirt. "Just needs fine tuning."

"Of course," Rilla said. "I failed miserably at cream puffs not too long ago. I think the French make fiendishly difficult food."

"Yes, that might be it," Isabelle replied, in a rare show of possibly acknowledging that she might have failed at something. "I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon, though."

Probably not.
