In the Cupcake of Good and Evil, Tuesday 2nd Period [3/5]
Smiling sweetly as ever, Summer stood in front of the classroom and, once everyone was settled in, she held up something dark green and round, almost like some kind of tiny dragon egg from times of yore, but most people would recognize it for what it truly was.
Stark, of course, recognized it but he had the advantage of knowing in advance what the theme of the week was. Also he knew what Summer had in her hand was not merely an avocado but a device capable of culinary horrors.
"Avocados!" she announced. "Or, if you're fancy, freesh avah-cadoo, staple for Mexican cuisine and the downfall of many of a millennial. But ingredient for cupcakes? Hmmm. Maybe! Anything could be an ingredient for a cupcake if you try hard enough, and, actually, avocado is often used in a lot of vegan baking, to add a sort of richness without the use of eggs or butter. It's actually known to pair very well with chocolate, a combination of which could make for a really rich cupcake.
"They're also very well known for being the base of guacamole," Summer continued happily, "and guacamole is exactly what I decided to make my cupcakes with this week!"
Stark had been watching and listening with interest. He had used avocados before and that had been fine but guacamole was something entirely different. “With onions, Summer? In the cupcakes?” He sighed and shook his head. “Or something worse?” There were so many options!
“I’ve used avocado with chocolate before. Summer’s right,” Stark continued. She usually was. “It does work well even though it seems odd. So I’ve made some chocolate avocado cupcakes again today. They’re vegan, too.” Maybe Stark ought to offer some to Steven or Watts.
“So, go ahead and try to make something of your own. I would prefer you avoided onions but I can’t stop any of you.” And Stark wouldn’t even dream of trying to stop Summer.
