Baking: Sweet and Savory | Monday, 3rd period

"So." Hannibal smiled at the students once they settled in. "If you've had my class before, you know what your final is." Or if you'd read and remembered the syllabus, but he knew enough about teenagers to know the likelihood of that.

He spread his hands. "Bake me something. Bake me several somethings. Use as many of the things we've learned in class as you can. I am here if you have questions."

Cook your food!

Bake things! Lots of things! Share them with your class and teacher! Poisoning anyone is an AUTOMATIC FAIL.

Okay, so maybe something simple that he could sort of half-brain work on, like banana bread, and then Sparkle could focus on something a little more complicated at the same time, liiiike a chocolate soufflé.

Okay so he needed a bit more attention for the soufflé, because if it fell too soon he was going to be really put-out, but at least there was some trade-off, since the banana bread was supposed to be so dense?

That was Sparkle's story and he was going to stick to it. And maybe work on a chocolate sauce for the soufflé, too. Because he was ambitious like that.

Hannibal approved of ambitiousness. And was giving Sparkle a smile and a pat on the shoulder to show it.

COSETTE WOULD NEVER POISON ANYONE.

Her puff pastry left a little something to be desired, though; it wasn't quite as airy as it ought to be, but her mind was elsewhere today.

GOOD BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE A TERRIBLE WASTE OF FOOD.

"I think you could get a bit more air into these," Hannibal said, "but your presentation is lovely."

"Thank you very much, monsieur. It could have benefited from being folded several more times," Cosette agreed with a halfhearted smile. "I was beginning to be concerned about running short of time, though."

Because she'd let her mind wander more often than she usually did, but still.

Hannibal smiled in understanding. "Did you have a guest this weekend?"

Re: Cook your food!

[wildandbrave]

"I did." While Cosette did seem wistful about the whole thing, she didn't look like she was likely to start crying any time soon. "It was . . . an unexpected, if nice, surprise."

"I'm glad," Hannibal said. "Some people seem not to have enjoyed it; it's good you did."

Re: Cook your food!

"No, I can't imagine it was a great deal of fun for most people," agreed Cosette. "What about you, monsieur? Did anyone come to visit you?"

"Yes." Hannibal nodded at her. "But we're on our own again now. We must get on with our lives."
