fandomhigh | Cupcakes, Friday 7/8, period 2

Class was meeting in the home ec room today as cupcake class nearly always did. Stark was standing at the front of the room as he nearly always did. There was a box on the counter in front of him as there nearly always was. There were also trays of chocolate and yellow cupcakes currently lacking in frosting.

“Welcome. And welcome back to some of you,” he said, looking around the room and turning his head slightly to do so. “I’m Stark, if any of you don’t know me.”

“I thought, today, since this is the first day for some of you, we would wait on baking. I have some unfrosted cupcakes here, and a few types of frosting, and some and you can decorate if you like.”

Stark paused and opened the box in front of him warily. “I have some frosting in here. Chocolate. Vanilla.” He pulled those two out and placed them on the counter before reaching in to the box again. “Peanut butter. And…some candies and fruits you can mix in if you like?” He was frowning at the box now, confused. “It seems that everything in the box today was meant to be in the box today.”

Summer was absolutely getting a confused but relieved look right now if she was there to be looked at.

“Right. Well. You can decorate some cupcakes if you like. First, introductions since I don’t think we all know each other. You can say as much as you like, or as little, but at least your names? Why you’re here, if you want. Maybe your favorite cupcake ingredient?”

Please don’t tell everyone your favorite cupcake ingredient is some sort of seafood or maggots ~~Summer~~. Don’t make the alien sad.

Starting with the maggots had really raised the bar for Friday food classes this time around, hadn't it?

And Summer was honestly just as surprised (though perhaps considerably more disappointed) by the...normalcy of the contents of the ingredients box as Stark, giving him a faint shrug and a clueless shake of her head at that confused look, but, yeah, no, they should probably enjoy this while they still could.

"Hiiii," she offered out, once it came around to her turn, "I'm Summer. I'm here because of course I am, I wouldn't miss Cupcakes class for anything." Not entirely true, but true enough! "Obviously, my favorite color's pink, but we know how that goes, I'm pretty partial to turquoise, too, but that might be, you know, weirdly specific. And I really like strawberries and a space fruit called meiloorun, and, really, if you're doing fresh fruit in your cupcakes, you're clearly doing something right."

See? Totally normal answer, no maggots allowed.

"I'm glad you wouldn't miss it," Stark told her. "It's good to have you here. What does your space fruit taste like?"

Turquoise was close enough to blue, really, that it could come into play in a future week.

"Kind of like a melon-y, papaya-y sort of flavor?" Summer ~~blatantly assumed based on absolutely nothing else to go off of that she could ever find~~ offered. "I've used them before in some jello shots, and I usually have them in stock at the store, if you ever want to try one. Sometimes more than others, they can occasionally be a little difficult to get from the source."

"I would like to try one," Stark confirmed. "Maybe I'll come see you at the store."

He could stop by before the clinic. Or during his paintball break!
