The Great British Bakeoff! But American! - 2nd Period
The tent was set up the same as it had been the previous weeks, but this time around there was one extra teacher up at the front of the class. One who was somehow blonder and broader than Steve.
That was right, folks. Thor was here to judge baking.
"We have a special guest for a themed week," Tony said, so so glad he didn't have to come up with these recipes.
"It's Nordic Week," Steve said, "so hello to our friend Thor!" Thor was definitely going to be better pronouncing any of the food this week!
Thor was sure that, as the teachers of the class, his friends’ pronunciations would behilarious more than adequate! “Indeed,” he said gravely. “I am honored to be here to sample your wares. I am certain you will all perform admirably.” And if he was lying, well, his face gave nothing away.
"First we'll of course be tasting the piesthat were handwavily assigned because oops forgot from last week. A citrus curd with an intricate meringue," Tony reminded the class. And hopefully none of the meringue tasted like sweet scrambled eggs.
Hopefully. Even if they did, Steve would still eat it!
"And then we'll start the signature," Steve said. He looked down at his notes. "Saffron rolls?"
“Saffransbullar,” Thor said fondly. “Or Lussekatter, if one is celebrating the saint.” Couldn’t be Thor, obviously.
Tony nodded along with the explanation like he too could totally pronounce it all correctly. "And then for our technical challenge there's an, ah, interesting take on a cake?"
Everybody's so creative! See how we did that? Looks like you probably shouldn't do that.
“It has been many years since I had a good smörgåstårta,” Thor said, which raised the question of when there had ever been a good smörgåstårta in the first place.
Steve, again, was reading his notes. "There's fish in the cake?!"
"I'm sure it'll be… fine," Tony settled on. He was bravely soldiering on and hoping this all wasn't entirely just Thor messing with them. "And for your homework, we want you to all.. Well, I'll let Thor explain it."
"FISH," Steve repeated, looking slightly distressed.
“I thought you as fond of smoked salmon as any New Yorker,” Thor said to him, looking concerned, before he turned to address the class. “Yes, I believe for your ‘homework’ you are to make a kransekage--or, if the shape is reversed, it would be an overflødighedshorn.” Very normal words here. “It is a sort of cake made of stacked rings of marzipan, though your teachers may have further instructions for you.”
Tony gave Steve a sympathetic pat on the arm before realizing he was up again. "Yes, we'd like you to include marzipan decorations… on top of the marzipan cake."
Yo dog, we heard you liked marzipan.
"No fish," Steve said firmly. "That's very important."
“They could make fish out of marzipan,” Thor argued, like a helper. He was helping.
Tony smiled, but it was for sure strained. "Pie! Time for pie!"
