OOC: Class will close tomorrow afternoon around 5:30 PM EST. So you have about...20 hours from the time of this post to finish up. I'll also be at work tomorrow until 4:00 EST, but IC Lexi will still be in class.

Looking around the room she looked for someone to work with. Everyone seemed to have someone thou. Picking out what she was going to make.
Walking to the back of the classroom, she started picking out what she would need. "Professor? Do we start our ovens before we start or after we are done?" Kay asked was she walked back to her work station.
"Mmhmm," Lexi answered, nodding her head in reply. This wasn't the first time a student had asked a question about preheating the oven. She sort of eyed the students, hoping everyone was doing alright with the baking. There hadn't been any fires yet, so she guessed everyone was doing just fine. One could
hope at least.
"You preheat the oven ahead of time, and it'll be good and hot by the time you're ready to pop the cupcakes in. When you're ready just hit the preheat button until it's at the temperature you need. Then when the oven's nice and hot, it'll beep to let you know it's ready." Text Cut: Golden Monkey

Loving this class more than anything he gulped, wondering if any of the recipes had pineapple in them. It wouldn’t be good if he touched that stuff he knew. Looking around nervously he sighed watching as she performed the spells. He knew the levitation spell already so that was good, but the other spells were new to him. Which was great since he loved learning new spells.
Standing up to have better motion with his wand he flicked his wrist, the wand shooting out into his hand before pointing and swishing and flicking his wand at the bowl in front of him. “Wingardium Leviosa.” he said confidentially as he stood there smiling. The bowl easily went to him and he levitated it a few inches away from him as he tapped the edge and said “Fixate.” in a calm voice. The bowl and whatever was wrong with it was automatically fixed and he nodded. That spells was handy he thought wondering if it would work on his school bag which had a mark on it.
With his bowl still floating in front of him he swished and flicked his wand again making the wooden spoon come towards him. Levitating it into the bowl he frowned; what was the other spell Locomotor something right? Right! Grinning he pointed his wand at the spoon and began turning it in a clockwise gesture as he muttered, “Locomotor spoon.” at the object, watching as it began moving in the direction he indicated. Sweet, it was a good thing he knew spells he thought looking up for further instructions. Once he had gotten the hang of it he stopped the spell, his hand going under the bowl as he said “Finite.” in a clear voice. The bowl and spoon dropped onto his hand and he placed them on the tabletop.
Now for the actual baking part, how fun would that be? He knew exactly which cup cakes he wanted to bake too; homemade chocolate chip. He looked around though wondering if he’d have to do it by himself. He didn’t mind, at least he’d know that there wasn’t any pineapples in it. Grabbing an apron he grinned, knowing which color he wanted to change it too. Putting it on and tying it properly he took his wand again, knowing he should have done this beforehand but not caring. Pointing his wand at his apron he swished to the right, then to the left in a circular motion as he said “Colorus Revolvo blue!” Instantly his apron turned blue and he grinned. Perfect he thought.
Now to get to baking. He wasn’t sure if he wanted a partner or not. “Erm professor, is there any pineapple in these recipes? I’m allergic to it you see and well, I don’t want to visit the nurse.” he said his hand in the air nervously.
Lexi shook her head in reply to the question about pineapples.
"No, not unless you add them. That's an ingredient that doesn't normally come in any type of cupcake mix, so you'll be safe," she answered. She didn't blame him about not wanting to see the nurse. After all, who
wanted to be sick?

"Hmm...better to be safe than sorry," she answered, hearing a Slytherin girl question pineapples in cupcakes.
"You're right, there's normally not any pineapples in cupcakes, but some bakeries have been known to add them as a topping...you know, along with gummy bears or sprinkles. Things like that..." Text Cut: As.Is

"Ma'am. How would you separate the yolk from whites with your wand?" she asked quietly pointing her wand to the directions she had copied into her book. This had her puzzled though she knew how to do it by hand, the whole point of the lesson was baking with your wand, so she'd probably want to ask how to do that.
Lexi looked thoughtful for a few seconds as she considered the best answer to the girl's question.
"Several charms have been tried, but in the end, most were very unsuccessful or either more complicated than the muggle method," she admitted.
"I think you'd be better off separating it by hand for now, although, it may be something you'd want to experiment with later on."
