Third update!? You don't say! :D I'm so happy! As I've said before!
Disclaimer: Meh, these suck. IMAA is not mine...
Turns out, baking isn't as easy as it sounds. Or as Roberta makes it look. They couldn't seem to get it right at all, and they've tried over five times with the SAME recipe! THE SAME ONE! One of them being a genius in almost every subject, should at least be able to do something as easy as baking, right?
Nope!
The first attempt at the cake, it was burnt. The second time, it turned into a mushy pile of chocolate and frosting. The third time, it over flowed in the over. The fourth time, it exploded in the oven. And their latest mess up was when the cake turned out to taste like soap and was as hard as rock.
Cake should not be this difficult.
"What are we doing wrong?" The genius asked his friend.
"How should I know?" His friend shrugged.
It was Saturday and they were expected to have a cake done by the next day for Rhodey's cousins birthday. Somehow, they got stuck with cake duty. They could have handled it if they got stuck with buying the present from them, but no! They just HAD to make the cake!
Tony, the genius, sighed. "And this is supposed to be done by tomorrow?"
"Yep." Rhodey, Tony's friend, sighed as well.
"I hate baking!"
Both teens stomachs growled in hunger.
"This is making me hungry!" Tony said.
"Me too."
They eyed their five failures. But shuddered at the very thought of eating them. They weren't that hungry!
They wondered if anyone would notice if they just ordered it from a bakery. That or ask Pepper if she could help. After all, she was supposed to be free today...
"What on earth...?"
The two boys spun to the sound of the woman who owned the kitchen. She wasn't supposed to be home until 4:30! Wait, it was 4:30!
"Sorry...?" They both voiced, slightly shying away from the woman, who's also known as Roberta. OR Rhodey's mom.
She sighed heavily, pulling on an apron. "Let me do it."
They stepped away watching her pull out the rest of the needed ingrediants.
"You," She pointed at them. "Can go clean the attic and wrap the present for Timothy."
Although they were happy to be relieved from cake duty, they weren't too happy with their replacement duty. And they were forced to watch almost an hour later as Roberta made the cake perfectly after one try. After that, they were forced to clean up all the spilt flour, broken eggs, sticky vanilla stains, and the other baking related messes.
Oh joy.
Thought I'd make a story with just a bunch of shorts! :D Most of these will be from my Idea's story! :D Hope you liked this first one!
Fun Fact: I love animated movies! But I guess I'm one one of those people who are bugged by the resolution or graphics in it. Unless, it's Anime and not animated, then I'll make that exception.
Well, that does it for updates for today, and possibly this weekend. So, I'm glad that I got to write some more today! I always feel sad that I don't update anything for a while; it makes me feel like I'm growing away from writing. :( BUT don't worry! I'm not!
Hugs and Love, SilverPedals!
