Day 6: Cake!
" Tayyyyyyyyyyylor!" Mikey shouted and hugged Taylor when she came through the lair's entrance, " Thank goodness your here. I thought you wouldn't come!"
" Why? Am I late?" Taylor asked, confused.
" Yes! 15 minutes late!" Mikey stopped hugging her and backed away angrily.
" Sorry." Taylor apologized sheepishly.
Mikey forgave her within an instant and together they walked to the kitchen. Luckily all of Mikey's brothers were out for the day. Leo went to train for the day, while Raph was spending the day at Taylor's best friends house, Lily. Donnie went to the junkyard and he usually spends all day there. So Taylor and Mikey had the whole day to themselves.
" So what do we want to start with?" Taylor wondered and sat herself down on the stool.
" I'd say we start with the main courses and save the cake decorating till last. So the icing will be fresh for longer." Mikey explained and started to get out all the ingredients that they needed.
" Alright, sounds good." Taylor nodded, " So what are we making for main courses?"
" Isn't it obvious?" Mikey questioned, " Pizza!"
" But aren't we gonna cook anything else?"
" Taylor, think about who the party is for." Mikey suggested and paused for a moment to let Taylor think.
" Ohhhhhh, right. Okay that makes sense." Taylor agreed once it clicked in her head.
" Let's get started." Mikey declared and so they did.
This time Taylor helped more. Making pizza was easy, with the help of Mikey of course. Mikey was in charge of making the actual pizza dough, he did the whole toss it up and spin it in the air thing. While Taylor was in charge of putting the pizza in the pan and putting the sauce and ingredients on it.
The first pizza they made was a classic pepperoni and cheese. Next they concentrated on the four brothers favourite pizzas. They made Leo's favourite first out of all of them, a deluxe pizza. Next was Raph's which was a meat lovers pizza and then Donnie's. Both Taylor's and Donnie's favourite pizza is Hawaiian, but Mikey finds it gross. Mikey's favourite pizza is a anchovy, jellybean and jalapeno pizza.
After the favourite four were done, they concentrated on the whacky toppings one as well as the 'normal' pizzas. While the 'normal' pizzas were limited, the whacky ones were endless. Mikey and Taylor even made a desert pizza, which contained a custard as sauce, chocolate shavings as cheese, pieces of fruit-roll-ups as pepperoni and a caramel drizzle just for the fun of it. At the end of it all, they must of had about 20 pizzas.
" Okay, pizzas are done." Mikey noted and wiped his hands on his 'kiss the cook' apron. Mikey was covered in flour, pizza dough and sauce. Even though Mikey got no where near the sauce, he still managed to get some on him, " What time is it T?"
" Uh, 1:30." Taylor replied with a quick glance at her watch.
" Alright, should we get started on the cake decorating?" Mikey wondered but without waiting for a reply, took the cake out of the fridge. Mikey took out all four pans of the cake, since the cake itself will be having for tiers.
" Sure, what icing are we using?" Taylor asked and searched the cupboard for some cake frosting.
" My homemade French vanilla cake icing." Mikey announced proudly and took a big tub full of icing out of the refrigerator.
" Whoa! When did you have time to make that?" Taylor questioned in awe.
" He-he, I have my ways." Mikey chuckled and set the tub of icing on the table. He then went to his cooking supplies draw and got out a few piping bags, spoons and bowls.
" What's all that for?" Taylor questioned as Mikey also got out the food colouring.
" The cake." Mikey answered simply, " It's not all gonna be white."
" True." Taylor nodded and got out her sketch book from her shoulder bag, " I've got the designs of the cake right here." Taylor handed Mikey the drawing pad.
" Whoa, did you draw this?" Mikey asked in awe, not looking up from the book.
" Um...yeah. It's what I thought the cake could look like." Taylor admitted shyly.
" Then let's get started." Mikey smiled, he enjoyed Taylor's design of the cake very much. It went perfectly with his party theme.
" Alright, so we need red icing." Taylor began to name off all the colours of icing they were going to use. When she finished, they ended up with every colour of the rainbow with the additional black and white.
Mikey and Taylor began to ice the cake right away. Mikey had filled up two piping bags with green icing so it would go twice as fast. Each round tier of the cake was going to be covered in green icing. Taylor began with the top tier and the bottom one. Mikey did the two middle tiers of the cake. They decided it was best to decorate the cake first then stack it. Each tier was on a spinning cake table.
" Mikey, can you passed me the orange?" Taylor wondered. It's been a couple of hours and they had finished with the green icing. It was now time for the details.
" Sure thing." Mikey acknowledged Taylor's question even though he was deep in concentration with his piping. But Mikey picked up the piping bag with the orange and tossed it to Taylor.
" Thanks!" She said and went back to icing the cake. Once she was done with the orange. Taylor picked up the white icing, then the black. There was a lot of different colours of icing, so that meant a lot of piping bags.
" Yo Taylor." Mikey called, " Turn on some tunes."
" Alright, what do you want to listen too?" Taylor wondered as she spun around on her heals. On a stool behind her sat Mikey's stereo. He was thinking about using that one for party music, but his stereo couldn't plug into his T-phone.
" Put on the rock station." Mikey answered. Mikey's music vary anywhere from heavy metal to happy Disney music. He never really sticks to one style of music, it's pretty much different every night.
" You got it." Taylor said kinda absentmindedly, she was try to figure how to turn on the stereo, " Hey Mikey?" Taylor called after a few minutes of failing to find the power button.
" It's on the back." Mikey responded as if he already knew what question Taylor was going to asked.
" Thanks." Taylor thanked him and turned on the stereo. She quickly found how to change the channel and soon rock music was playing. The song 'Old time rock'n roll came on and both Taylor and Mikey began gently singing along.
Still like that old time rock'n roll
" Still like that old time rock'n roll." Taylor say simultaneously to the music.
That kind of music just soothes the soul
" That kind of music just soothes the soul." Mikey sang the next line to the song.
I reminisce about the days of old
" I reminisce about the days of old." Taylor sang. Her and Mikey were taking turns singing each line of the song but with the next line they sang together.
With that old time rock'n roll
" With that old time rock'n roll!" They cheered the lyrics of the song. All while decorating the cake, Mikey and Taylor were having fun goofing off. But after hours of cake decorating, icing testing, and cleaning the dishes, Mikey and Taylor were finally done.
" Oof, that was a day well spent." Taylor sighed and leaned up against the table.
" Yeah." Mikey agreed, " But what are we gonna do with all this extra icing?" There was still a little white icing left at the bottom of the tub, but every cake was decorated. So now Mikey and Taylor have some extra icing and don't know what to do with it.
" Hey Miiikey..." Taylor began with a mischievous look on her face and tone of voice, " When was the last time you pranked your brothers?"
" About two weeks ago. Why?" Mikey asked, not catching on to what Taylor was implying.
" Don't you think your about due to play another prank. Possibly with these?" Taylor wondered and held up three paper plates.
" Ohhhhhh. I see where this is going." Mikey caught on and got a wicked gleam in his eyes.
" Shall we?" Taylor asked. She couldn't help but spread an evil grin across her face.
" We shall!" Mikey declared and took the spoon to scoop out some icing. Taylor set down the plates and Mikey filled them up with icing. Three big blobs on each plate, waiting to be smacked into somebody's face.
" So it's 4:30 now." Taylor noted, " And I'm guessing probably Leo will be home first."
" Yeah, so let's go wait." Mikey told Taylor and headed for the doorway of the lair. As soon as one of Mikey's brothers would walk through the entrance, they would get a face full of icing.
It wasn't long before Leo came home. Mikey was the one who would throw the plate of icing in Leo's face. Taylor was sitting on the couch to lower any suspicion.
" I'm back!" Leo called as he entered the lair to see only Taylor in the living room, " Where's Mi-" Leo began to asked but got cut short by a plate full of icing that landed on his face.
" I'm right here Leo!" Mikey cheered excitedly while Taylor burst into hysterical laughter.
Without a word from Leo, the plate that was glued to his face slowly dropped to the floor. It revealed an un-amused Leo covered in white icing. Leo passed a hand over his face to wipe off the icing and threw the blob on the floor. He took a deep breath in, then let it out. After that, Leo dived for Mikey in an enraged growl.
Mikey let out a very girlish scream and began running. Taylor couldn't help but laugh. She was glad to have sit out this round. Leo can get very angry at times, and this was one of those times. So she was glad that she wasn't apart of that, but Taylor couldn't say the same thing for the next round.
After Leo had finished chasing his little brother, he had went in the shower to clean up. And Mikey emerged from his room. His head peeked out and looked in Taylor's direction. He asked if was all clear and Taylor nodded.
It wasn't long before Raph and Donnie came back to the lair. They actually arrived at the same time. And this time, Taylor was in on the plate throwing, since it had to be done simultaneously.
" Ready?" Mikey whispered as Donnie and Raph entered the lair. They stopped in the doorway due to the confusion of seeing an empty living room.
" Where is everyone?" Raph asked and Donnie shrugged. They were about to take another step but froze when they heard Mikey's voice.
" Booyakasha!" Mikey shouted and him and Taylor jumped out from behind the wall. They threw the plates and smacked both Raph and Donnie right in the face.
" Mikey!" Raph's scream was muffled with the icing upon his face. Raph took off the plate and dashed for Mikey, playing out the same scene that Leo did but Raph had his plate in his hand.
Donnie on the other hand had just taken off his plate from his face.
" Mikey when I-" Donnie began, thinking that he was going to find Mikey in front of him. But Taylor was there instead, " Taylor?"
The only response that Taylor gave Donnie was her clenching her sides in wheezing laughter. Donnie still couldn't believe that it was Taylor who had thrown the plate, this had Mikey written all over it.
" Oh, you think that's funny?" Donnie questioned. He had a questioning look in his eyes that usually mean you should start running. But Taylor had her eyes squeezed shut, trying to fight back the tears that threaten to come out. She was laughing that hard.
Donnie then ran at Taylor and shoved his plate in her face. It still had icing on it plus the additional icing that Donnie had wiped off from his face. And immediately, Taylor stopped laughing and Donnie began.
Taylor leaped at Donnie and tackled him to the ground. She began to spread more icing all over him this time, and not just his face. Donnie did the same thing to her. Just a few feet away, Mikey laid on the ground under Raph's grip. Raph was shoving his plate into Mikey's face, but much for forcefully then Donnie did to Taylor.
That's when Leo walked out of the bathroom. All fresh and clean from his shower, he gazed upon the icing mess that his brothers and Taylor laid in. They were all wrestling one other, throwing icing in each other's face.
Leo looked down at his feet, a blob of icing had landed there. He picked in up and decided to join in the fight. Leo dived in and threw his blob of icing right on Raph's head. Raph was still pinning down Mikey, but looked up to see an evil smile on Leo's face. That's when Mikey made his move and escaped.
Raph picked up some icing from the floor and put it on his plate. He was planning to throw it back at Leo who stood a few feet in front of him, smiling. But his plate slipped and instead went flying right on Donnie's back. Donnie looked behind him and narrowed his eyes challengingly at Raph. Donnie got off of Taylor at threw some icing at Raph. But missed and hit Mikey. Mikey threw some icing back at Donnie but hit Taylor who had just escaped Donnie's grip. She took one look at Mikey before biffing some icing at his face. Mikey ducked out of the way and the icing hit Leo smack in the face, that he had just cleaned icing from.
That's when Leo decided to get down and dirty. He got of the floor with his brothers and joined in the icing war. Globs of icing were flying left and right. Landing on people's heads, backs, arms, legs, and in their eyes. It was a big frosting mess. Splinter then walked out of the dojo to see what all the commotion was about. He stopped in his tracks as he seen icing spread everywhere.
" Ugh, teenagers." Splinter sighed and walked back into the dojo. Decided that this frosting mess could wait for another day.
