I know someone who hasn't had cake before, so I think I'd like to take a piece to them, if we can account for that as well.

[ they're here for cake times and to make the best damn cake in the realm ]

The coffee and chocolate balance each other so we might be able to get away with buttermilk. We could make a little of different kinds and try some while the cake's cooling.

[ they could bake any left over batter to try it with. is this just an excuse to eat cake?



yes. ]

[sacredchants]

Someone who hasn't had cake before...?

[ sorry even though alex is bringing up a good point, izumo is going to be stuck on that because hello?? who?? cake is so great???

???? ]

[chanteuser]

Yeah.

I guess we all really do come from very different places. Or, at least, one of us comes from somewhere where he wasn't given cake.

[sacredchants]

[ hmmmm. honestly? that sounds like a terrible place to live. ]

If they end up liking it, maybe we can make them a small one.

[ mini cakie. ]

[chanteuser]

[ naru go to mcfuckin' bed ]

That's a nice idea. We could try a different flavour as well, so they can see if they can choose a favourite.

[ all the mini cakies ]

[sacredchants]

[ I HAVE TO GO TO WORK IN 2 HRS IT'S USELESS NOW. ]

Yeah, and any extras we'll just leave around for whoever wants it.

[chanteuser]

[ NARU WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS WHAT THE FUCK ]

As long as it gets eaten, that sounds fine to me. But first... this mocha-almond cake.

[sacredchants]

[ I'LL BE FINE........ ]

Right, the moch-almond cake.

[ time to get the dry goods together. ]

[chanteuser]

[ i'm gonna end you myself and they'll be finding you, naru, in investigations tonight. unconscious because i knocked you out. ]

I'll get the eggs out so they can warm up a bit. Um... the almonds are in the pantry; I'm happy to chop them up if you're fine with that?

[sacredchants]

[ sdfkljlkawlkjealkd..... ]

I'm fine with that, and make sure you grab the butter as well.

[ cold butter bad. ]

[chanteuser]

[ it's deserved and i'm valid. ]

Will do. You're getting the flour?

[sacredchants]

[ STOP BOTH YOU AND ARA GANGED UP ON ME... ]

Yes, leave the dry ingredients to me.

[chanteuser]

[ when will you lEARN TO SLEEP, NARU?? ]

Alright then... milk, eggs, butter... chop up the almonds...

[ handwave that last bit happening here because it's too close to investigation for me to go into huge detail. ]

[sacredchants]

[ THIS HAS BEEN A LIFE LONG STRUGGLE FOR ME.....

but let's fast-forward the measuring bits unless reasons for disaster because of investigation. (i am not tagging you purely because of investigations, promise.)

a cakie is being made by two good girls. ]

[chanteuser]

[ a cakie that they’re now mixing and i guess greasin’ some pans for pouring the mix into because i have samosas cookin’ and i want to eat them and i keep getting distracted don’t tag a food thread when hungry. ]

I guess we just add in the almonds towards the end and mix them well so they don’t sink?

[sacredchants]

[ SO THAT MOMENT WHERE YOU'RE MAKING CAKIE FOR A MURDERER.... ]

I think that's what you do. [ hmmm. ] The almonds I don't think would be very heavy, but it wouldn't hurt.

[chanteuser]

[ NOW WE UNDERSTAND WHY NO ONE GAVE HIM CAKE. ]

I've sliced them pretty thin, so they should... float? [ is that the word in this case? ]

And if someone has a problem if they don't, they can just not eat the cake.

[sacredchants]

[ truly... hopefully no one else will betray us while we make cake for them. or meals. sweats. ]

Exactly. They should be grateful that we were even sharing them with them.

[chanteuser]

[ if they keep giving food to people and they hit betray then.... (sad) ]

I'm not sure we could eat a whole cake by ourselves though.

[sacredchants]

[ clearly they should use food as an indicator of who will betray them next. (no.)

but. ah....true. ]

Why not feed some of it to the birds?

[chanteuser]

[ (yes) ]

...

That seems like a waste of the cake too, honestly. They wouldn't eat much of it, would they? [ izumo?? ]

[sacredchants]

[ (rip them never trusting anyone ever again though) ]

Maybe stale cake.

[ ... ]

What would we do with the extras if people don't eat them?

[chanteuser]

You can make trifle and puddings with stale cake, can't you? Anything that adds a sauce'll liven it up again.

[sacredchants]

Oh! I'm not used to making those.

[chanteuser]

It's really easy, it's just a case of dumping other ingredients in a bowl with the sponge. But making it look appetising.
