The Great British Bakeoff! Only American! Wednesday, February 12, 2025

"Unfortunately, Tony had a board meeting he couldn't get out of this morning," Steve said, "so you only have me today."

"First I'll judge your marzipan ring...stacks." Thor wasn't here to help with pronunciation today, so Steve decided to just not try. "Then we'll get into some retro bakes."

Because Tony also wasn't there to stop him!

"Our Signature challenge will be a highly decorative Jello mold filled with your choice of sweet or savory items," Steve said, so earnest despite being so diabolical, "and our technical challenge is the Spam and Fruit Cocktail Party Loaf."

Steve, why.

"And your take-home assignment is to come up with your most creative Midwestern dessert salad! It'll be fun."

It'd be something, all right.

Kitty's unpronounceable marzipan thing didn't look perfect, but it tasted good.

"I maybe honed a lot of frustration into this," she explained.

"You are married to Barton," Steve teased. "That has to be frustrating."

Steven. This week.

"I can go places you don't want to hear about with that answer," she warned.

Steve turned bright red. "Please don't."

"That's why I warned you," she said.

"I appreciate the warning," Steve said, still blushing.

Nell had not done as well with the marzipan, unfortunately. Plus she'd been very distracted in the evening once Gladio came home, so it definitely wasn't her best work.

"Did Gladio help this week too?" Steve teased.

Nell blushed a red deeper than maraschino cherries and couldn't quite manage to meet Steve's eyes, even as she laughed a little nervously. "He, well... we... last night, um..."

She waved her hands around hopelessly. "I had trouble focusing."

Would that do?

Oh, very much.

"Going around this week," Steve said.

Jello rings! Describe your insane mold and what you put inside it!

Please don't put fish. Steve will be sad.

You know what you were getting? You were getting strawberry jello filled with marshmallow and lime. There was whipped cream on the plate around it. It looked insane and glorious.

"This looks amazing," Steve said gleefully. "Can I take a picture for Tony?"

"Yes, please show my genius off," she agreed.

Steve pulled out his phone. "Say Jello!"

These were not the kind of photos Tony wanted in his board meeting.

Jello molds were a new thing for Nell and one she was not at all fond of. Her mold was a fish - for some reason so many of them were fish - but don't worry, Steve, there was no fish in it. There was a strawberry jello with strawberries and cut up grapes.

Spam AND gelatin! What fun!

Though Steve has to eat five of these things, so really, who's being punished?

Halfway through making the surprisingly pretty dessert, you might have heard Kitty say, "Hiw is this the week I'm good?"

Nell did a beautiful job making this, but she really had no intention whatsoever of eating it herself.

Yes, his taste buds are broken.

Blerg.
