Creative Cooking With A Focus on Pudding- Thursday 3rd Period
At the head of the classroom, Wonka had a large pot of thick, rich chocolate melting.
“You’ve had a chance to see what fun it is mucking about with flavors, textures and whatnot, and you aren’t wholly hopeless when it comes to basic baking.
After cracking open a teaching book or two, it appears that the time has come to set noses to the grindstone, to seriously practice these basics and refine our techniques.” He pulled a face. “Where’s the fun in that? Who in their right mind would want to suck the joy from cooking? So! Instead, today we’re going to make sure that you continue innovating. There’s no turning back, class! From this point on, I don't want to see any dull desserts from any of you.”
Wonka put on a pair of large pink oven mitts, lifted the pot, and poured the chocolate into a tray of egg-shaped candy molds.
“If any of you have perished the sweet shop in town, you may have noticed the chocolate eggs. With Easter coming up, they’re always popular. And it doesn’t matter which world’s Wonka set up that shop-” he continued, as though evidence of alternate world counterparts were a drab, common occurrence- “the chocolate eggs with that name will always hatch into birds in your mouth.”
He took a funnel and delicately tapped the end into one of the cooled chocolate eggs. He then opened a container of cotton candy, and proceeded to quickly fill the egg, pushing handful after handful in, scrunching the candy floss into tight globs and shoving them down the funnel. Each egg seemed to receive rather more cotton candy than seemed specially possible.
“Birds are made of quite a lot of fluff, you see. It takes more fluff than you might think to make a bird.”
Several more ingredients were added, and at one point, Wonka pulled out a piccolo and tweeted into each egg.
“Be careful how much noise you put into each egg. Birds can get so noisy. And if you get chatty, don’t come crying to me when a parrot hatches. Parrots live forever, you know.” He ignored any hands that shot up to correct that last detail. “Good luck, get cooking, and never let anyone tell you that this class wasn't a transformative experience!”

Try your hand at some chocolate birds! If you vary the ingredients, you might end up with other beasties. But don't cram too much in there- you wouldn't want these eggs to explode...would you?
