In the Cupcake of Good and Evil, Tuesday 2nd Period [3/12]
"Usually," said Summer, as she got things started with her usual peaceful smile that suggested choppier waters up ahead, "we talk in this class about putting things into cupcakes that you might not normally find there, but in a way that hides them and makes them a little bit of a surprise. Today, I want to propose the question to you of what to do when the cupcake itself is hiding.”
Stark, somewhat shockingly, didn’t look very concerned at all this week. He looked rather relaxed. Did that make any of the students concerned? Maybe it should have.
"Today," she explained further, "we're talking about cupcakes that look like other things. LIke, here, I've got Spaghetti and Meatballs, Peas and Carrots, Mashed Potatoes, Popcorn…Those still kind of look like cupcakes if you look below the surface, so I'm also a big fan of these cheeseburger ones where they legit look like little sliders if you're not looking too closely, and these ones that look like succulents."
"And herein," Summer said, "lies the real fun of it, because you see, I may have been a little untruthful."
GASP. SHOCK. DISMAY.
"Only some of these are cupcakes. Some of them are actually what they look like. Are you willing find out which by taste alone? I dare you to try! And then, for the rest of the class, it's up to you to decide: are you going to make your cupcakes look like something else, or are you going to make something else that looks like cupcakes looking like something else but are actually what they are?"
Stark shook his head a little. “I’ve had cupcakes that looked like spaghetti before. That doesn’t mean these ones are cupcakes but it doesn’t mean they aren’t. Any of them might be or they might not. You’ll have to see for yourselves. Or…Summer, I could give a hint?” He was not going to give any hints.
Good, because Summer's response to that? "No. No hints. Only pain."
