Baking Workshop 5/22, FH Home Ec Classroom, Monday Morning

[absolutesnark]

Piper smiles at the students as they show up at the home ec classroom after handwave hearing some sort of announcement letting them know to meet here.

"I'm Piper in case some of you might not know," she says somewhat cheerfully, handing each student a syllabus.

She points out the plate of brownies on the counter in front of her. "I made these for you because that is what we will be baking today. Try one if you'd like. I'm told I make the best brownies ever." She smiles proudly. "We will not be making the kind I brought in, though. They have a secret ingredient and, if I told you what it is, I'd have to vanquish you and no one wants that."

Piper grins to let them know she isn't serious about the vanquishing. She hands each student a list of ingredients and instructions. "I'm not going to lecture you because this workshop is supposed to be fun. So we're gonna get started right away. These instructions are, hopefully, easy to follow. If any of you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask."

"Do you want them to be better?"

Anders shrugged, again, and completely misread the amounts of flour and sugar he was supposed to use as he dumped them into the bowl. "I just wanted to see if I could do it, that's all. And I think I can, but I don't know if it's good enough, or if I like it enough, to keep going."

Sam didn't see anything unusual about the amounts Anders dumped in the bowl, so she didn't say anything. "Well, I guess that's up to you. But don't stop doing something you like doing just because other people think it's silly."

"You are very wise, Carter," he said offhandedly as he reversed the amounts of vanilla and salt. "No, seriously, I mean that. I guess we'll see, huh?"

"I guess we will," Sam said, not feeling very wise, especially covered in cocoa.
