"I don't know" Ton said as he examined the cake he was in the process of making "It doesn't look like the right colour for a…."

A hand shot out and a finger disappeared into the cake, then Hawk stood licking said finger with a look of concentration as he considered the cake.

"You know… when in citizen mode I do not usually use my powers but I think … I think it is needed here Tonny Man. I must tell you, using my Kitty Powers.. this is not a purple elephant cake. It is clearly a fat cat with a looooong nose. Must be for me!" Hawn finally said and Ton blinked slowly as he looked at the cake again.

"You know… If I cut off the trunk and add whiskers… make the ears pointy… it can be a cat cake!" Ton agreed "I am naff at making elephants."

"Make a butterfly one, then cut it and add it to a round one" Ianto said softly behind them "Then you can make cupcakes for the trunk. Have his face instead of an entire body."

"Oh Taddy, that's brilliant!" Ton gushed, the idea so simple and he knew the child would love the cupcake bits. Yes.

Hawk leaned back on his heels to stare up at his big brother "Sooooooooo … kitty cake?"

"Yes" Ton nodded "I can cover the purple with some melted chocolate to make it black I guess, if you want it."

"YES!" Hawk punched the air then cleared his throat to appear calm once more "Ta."

As Mel watched the interaction she looked over at her own little one who was happily making icing animals out of left over icing. She watched Hawk swagger over to wink and the older child smiled softly as a little cat was offered.

Hawk gasped with delight, jazz hands before accepting it with a look of pure adoration.

"Here, take one of the clear cupcake boxes for it" Ton said as he noticed as well "Remind me to show you the Cruise Book when I am home. Some of the animals made from food on that cruise were so amazing."

"I could never go on a cruise… too much water" Hawk said conversationally as he peered at the icing cat in the box.

"Some boats have cats" Ton corrected him "Sail boats and stuff. Some cats like water."

"Really?" Hawk asked with interest.

"Yeah, we will ask Alexa later" Ton said and Hawk nodded, the speaker of all things true would surely know if cats can swim. Ton added "after all. Taddy is a Tiger right? He swims."

Hawk had a lot to think about.
