AN: Hey guys! Just had this short and sweet idea in my head for a little while and finally decided to post it! :) it's 286 words, enjoy!
Minerva smiled, picking up her glass of red wine and admired the dessert on the crystal cake stand and took a satisfied sip. Yukino had requested a simple cake and had been sure to emphasize simple but Minerva just couldn't help herself. There was absolutely nothing simple about gateau marjolaine. The cake was a two-day masterpiece. Minerva had beat the eight egg whites by hand, melted four more ounces of chocolate than the recipe required (she knew Yukino had developed a sweet tooth with this pregnancy), and even handmade the chocolate wafers that decorated the sides of the cake—there was honestly no other way to do it.
Wiping her hands off on her apron, she looked over at the clock on the wall: 10:35. The party was set to start a quarter past noon, which still left her with plenty of time to slip out of her oversized t-shirt and wash off. She took one last look at the cake when she felt Gajeel press up against her from behind.
"Looks good," he hummed in her ear.
"Is it too much?" She asked softly, finishing off the last of the wine. "It's too much." She leaned back into his chest still staring in admiration.
"Mhmm, looks real good." He replied absently, wrapping his arms around her waist.
Minerva smirked. "We have to leave in a few, simmer down."
Gajeel laughed and took a step back, pulling the edge of her t-shirt up to get a better look at her ass. "Can't, currently at a rolling boil."
"Was that a fucking cooking innuendo?" Minerva turned towards him, swatting his hands off of her.
"What? You thought I was talking about the actual damn cake?"
AN: Hope they make it to Yukino's baby shower on time, it'd be a shame if the cake was late ;)
This cake is actually one of my favorite things to bake, even though it is fairly complicated (more so time consuming) because of all of its parts :3
Leave a review if you can :D
