The Snack Den

[?]

night night * rest gently *

[Firox]

*i Rest, kits wake Sherrie up and ask nicely if they can help make s cake for all of us*


*Sherrie gets them to bakery first to get frosting, mix, eggs, milk, butter, and all other ingredients and toppings*


*along with Sherrie’s help, all four together learn how to measure, mix, beat, fold everything, all four get an equal chance at getting messy but enjoying*

[?]

* yawns and relaxes *

[Firox]

“Ya...” I yawn awake “... bumped my nose”

*with mixing done, Sherrie puts cake into oven, all start mixing frosting, turn to us, all four”
“Hai sleepyz ”

[?]

* waves * hello 

[Firox]

*Sherrie takes out pans so they cool down, Zai tells ?*
“We is learning how to make cake”
*Rose* “we almost done tew”
*Sherrie cuts cake into three adds fruit to middle with help of four*

*Rose* “almost ready for taste”
*Sherrie also made a small so it mess with*

[?]

* nods * sounds good 

[Firox]

*Sherrie brings the cake next to ?, myself, so the four young ones can decorate - the last smaller one is simple cheesecake like feeling, whispers to ?*
“This one is for you to throw or cover” *normal voice* “lets first try the ones they made”

*20 mins later*
*its ready, looks funny in different colors and decorations, still looks good enough to eat*


*young ones get all up as ? and I have our own taste*
*Linette* "hey all, my slighty younger cousin coming to visit for a couple of days, his name is Arnold, usually we call him Sparks or Joltz - right on time here he is"
*as it walks inside greeting all, sets his backpack behind the couch, stretching out - then meets all*
*four invite the cake they made*

[?]

thanks there * happy noms some and waves to Joltz *  hello there 

[Firox]

*Joltz feels just at home, as usual at first feels a bit strange in a new place, quickly goes away once it gets to know all*
*Linette whispers something to Joltz, nods*

Spoiler for whisper:

*what was whispered? "? and all of us here love lemon bars and lemon desserts
how about making lemon meringue pie your famous for, for next day's dessert?
the four young ones here, love learning and baking,
along with me will be happy to help"*

*for now everyone enjoys the cake - tasty, four layers with berries inside, and fun decorations on the outside, they mix it so well that its actually really soft and tender to eat like any cake - still not overmixed that its tough or undermixed where it falls apart - just perfect consistency that it keeps shape but so soft to eat*


*with all of us, the big cake is soon coming to an end*

Spoiler for Linette explaining to Joltz:

*Linette does tell Jolts* "just be ready, Jyo, ?, Arval, Sherrie, Firox, and some times myself we love getting stained with food - especially rolling around in cheesecake, thats why we always have one ready to throw.

Also some days, ? here likes to challenge everyone to try to catch it, you know with cheesecake and fuller belly its a bit harder, ? is smart and fast, and knows all the tricks of escaping -

the only main rule that Sherrie enforces is that we can't use an attack while playing that Eevee can't learn, if we do is instant loose for us - so bite and tackle is usually fine"

[?]

* relaxes on back while enjoying more cake * 

[Firox]

*Joltz nods, Linette* "I agree, so do most, Sherrie calls it 'unfair to the younger ones and ?'"


*as typical I get it started - I try to put some of the frosting on ?'s nose while its resting, trying to sneak in from behind*
*Arval gives it away* "Jyo, quit coming from the back, you promised we where going to get some food for bigger ones, quit sneaking up behind ?, you can do that in a minute"


*I sticks tongue out at him for giving me away*
*I follows him for now*
*we go the Japanese/Korean restaurant outside to get some food for all*
*we come back with sushi, miso soup, yakisoba, Korean barbecue, and ramen, set on a table so all can grab on their own*


*I try again at sneaking*

[?]

* giggles and pushes the nose away before turning again and just playing with the cake * 

[Firox]

*as the rest eat, even young ones went to try out all the Japanese and Korean food for first time*


*now alone with ? and cake, I try to put a second slice of cake above - pushing paws make it difficult to 'sandwich' ? into cake*

[?]

eep * shakes around and gets surprised as I get put between the two, reaches around with paws to try to grab them *
