The Great British Bakeoff! But American! - 2nd Period

[imafuturist]

It was a good thing that Ignis had made sure the Danger Shop's fire alarms worked on Monday because the teachers for the Great American Bake Off Class had been known to use the shrieking of the fire alarm to tell when their food was finished.

The room was set up just like the show on Netflix, so the students had come into a white tent that was going to be subject to the elements (so today it was freezing.) Their benches came complete with standing mixers, porcelain bowls, and tiiiiiny ovens with doors that could accidentally be ripped off even if you weren't a super soldier.

"Welcome to Cake Week!" Steve said excitedly from the front of the room.

Tony nodded like he'd ever baked a cake that wasn't somehow both burned and underdone in the middle. He was a scientist and still managed that, everyone. "We'll start out easy with box cakes that we want you to make taste better with a handwaved assortment of ingredients you can use to boost things."

"Please make them taste nice," Steve asked. "You can follow the directions on the back of the box if you need help, and then Tony and I will come around and taste them. After that, we'll give you another challenge, and finally you'll have a homework assignment to bring with you next week."

Nell was doing well enough with her cake, which would have been quite delicious if the door to her oven hadn't fallen off before it was totally cooked. So while it might have tasted semi-decent it certainly was not completely cooked through, leaving some definite over gooey parts in the middle.

"This should be a chocolate cake with a mocha chocolate frosting," which really was quite tasty, "But I'm afraid my cake isn't all the way baked through."

"Is that's a molten lava cake, then?"

Steven. No.

Nell looked down with a bit of embarrassement. "No," she said, "Just, you see... the oven door came off, so..."

"The oven door came off?" Steve repeated.

Nell pointed helplessly towards her oven with the door hangin half off. "I must have pulled it too hard or something? I just... I have no idea."

"Huh," Steve said. "Well, we'll fix it."

"It's not going to heat right again," Nell said. "But we can try it."

She turned and glanced at the pitiful looking door hanging by half a hinge and sighed. At which point the door dropped to the ground with a clatter.

"Oh dear."
