Well, kids, today you had blow torches, so that could only end in awesome. Or someone on fire. Which would still be awesome, albeit in a traumatizing way.

"Today we're going to make edible volcanoes!" Steve said excitedly. "Tony will explain the science part."

"Baking soda and vinegar is the classic way to make a volcano that won't actually burn anything," Tony said. "And since we already have the blow torches out, we thought it might be safer to stick with that one."

Also, the school got weird about making real volcanoes.

You graduate more than one supervillain and the school board gets a little squeamish. Go figure.

"Your volcano has to be at least three feet tall and made out of cake, meringue, and ice cream," Steve said. "Plus have a hole for the baking soda and vinegar stuff."

"We suggest a thick layer of meringue," Tony said helpfully. "The main stipulation is that the eruption must work, okay?"

"And that the ice cream doesn't melt," Steve added. "We've left out a couple of recipes for cake, ice cream and meringues--" but tried none of them because your teachers were terrible cooks, "--and your bots will be out in a second to assist you!"

Several of them had a little chef hats on. It was adorable.

FIRE.

And the super handwavy extended explanation of how volcanoes work and also Baked Alaskas.

Steve's safety demonstration with the blow torches that did not end up with him getting covered in spray foam, unfortunately. But maybe some of you can be covered in spray foam. Dum-E, Tony's bot, was armed with a fire extinguisher and ready in the corner.

Three feet tall is a LOT of cake. And ice cream. And potential tipping. Tell us about your creations! What kind of cake? What kind of ice cream? How badly did you mess up your meringue? Does Dum-E need to intervene as you toast your meringue?

~~Did someone take your ice cream out of the freezer and RUIN YOUR CAKE FOREVER leaving you no choice but to bin it and stomp off in a giant Scottish huff /GBBO reference~~

Make it explode!

Dum-E is straight up stalking Tony, and Tony's not even near a blow torch.

Guillermo de la Cruz

Guillermo was absolutely in his element here as he began to work on his creation - he was already pretty good at making meringue so he didn’t have that problem and he decided to use chocolate cake and ice cream … he was determined to make something work with chocolate.

He was actually pretty excited that he was able to keep his creation from falling over.

Oh look at that Guillermo had actually made something that exploded and was still standing.

"Oh wow," his eyes were wide as he looked at his erupting volcano that wasn't causing anything to melt, "that is so cool!"

Alara Kitan

Alara was having a lot of trouble with the meringue and one of those attempts was because she accidentally crushed it, so she wasn't getting very far in her attempt to make the volcano.

There was absolutely nothing in this class that seemed like a good idea. Nothing.

Vi patted Little Bot on the chassis and set him to do pretty much all the work today.

She was supervising. Not that she knew what she was supposed to be looking out for.

The meringue on Vi's volcano looked...odd, and when she added the vinegar the lava puddled instead of foaming.

It was entirely possible that Little Bot had confused the sugar and the baking soda at some point.
