Cupcakes.

That sounded lovely!

Gold started, pretty much at once. She could have partnered up, of course, but she sort of wanted to play a little with whatever she whipped up, and she was not too sure if someone else would take well to that.

Of course, there were a few people in the room she wanted to group up with, but pretty much everyone partnered up, before she had a chance to actually get her thoughts, in line.

But get them straightened out, she did. The sixth year had started by preheating the over to exactly three-fifty degrees, used her wand to line the cupcake pans paper, and then proceeded to prepare the cupcake topping.

She used her wand to direct sugar, cream and butter in a saucepan, and then to levitate the bowl on to the stove. She knew she could have used the appliance to set the heat, but this was Charms class after all. That was exactly why Gold used a quick and cheerful "Icendio," to make the stove light up.

Rawwrr.

She waited then, taking in the splendid smell, that rose from the bowl on the stove. "When the moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie," she hummed under her voice, as she used her wand to turn the heat off, as soon as the delicious butter had melted. The whole classroom smelled amazing, now. Gold wanted to eat all the pretty scents! Hehe.

Using her wand to levitate the bowl away from the stove, Gold carefully tipped it over, right on top of a liner. The melted mixture in the bowl was poured, right out of the former, and into the latter. Gold moved the bowl away, into the next liner, evenly dividing the mixture. That done, she gave a deft flick of her wand, and the walnuts at her side rose out of their pretty glass bowl, to sprinkle all over the topping.

It all looked delicious enough to want anyone to eat it, right away!

When the moon hits your eye, like a --

Right. Now to prepare the batter. This would be the best part. It would also be where the charmwork they had been taught, came in handy. The application, so to speak. Gold directed the sugar and melted butter mix into her mixing bowl, with the help of her wand, then scraped it, to add vanilla. Her wand was then used to 'peel' the skin off a specific number of bananas, direct a handy kitchen-knife to chop them up, and then to direct them right into the bowl on the table.

Gold put what they had been taught to use, then, slowwwwly mixing the batter.

She paused, after a while, to levitate an egg on top of her bowl, and cause it to crack at the middle. The yolk was introduced to the batter inside, the egg-shell vanished away with a quick "Evanesco!" and then she was mixing again. The directions were to do so for half a minute, after every egg was added, and Gold followed them, down to a T. She did add a hint of chocolate in the batter, however. That was not part of the original recipe, but Gold had always been one to try something new.

Besides, if the cupcake didn't turn out well, she was here to answer for that. We learn from trial-and-error. Experience.

Once the batter had been made, Gold levitated the bowl aside and, levitating a new one right in front of herself, tipped flour and baking soda and powder in it. She proceeded to tip in some salt then, and use "Excito Orbis!" to set her big spoon on self-stir.

Both hands free now, she was able to pay attention to her work-area, clean anything up that needed cleaning, and use the colour-changing charm to turn the wooden spoon a cute pink. SHINY PINK! Gold loved shiny pink to bits. She admired her spoon for a few moments, then admired her apron, before shaking the PINK! thoughts off, for a second or two. She needed to finish this.

Which was why she had her wand at the ready, once more. The Gryffindor added half of the flour she had set aside, with the help of her wand, to the egg mixture, and mixed it thoroughly, though slowwwwly. That done, she added the remaining flour and buttermilk, shifted the speed of her mixing spoon so that it was faster, and -- and, no idea how it happened, her wand fell to the floor, with something of a clatter.

Only, the class was such a busy one, no one - except maybe the Professor - would have noticed that. Shaking her head, Gold quickly bent down to retrieve her wand, and use it to tip the cupcake batter over the delicious topping that she had poured into the liners, earlier.

The walnuts seemed to glisten at her, and Gold could have eaten them, right there, right then, if she hadn't been a more patient person. As it was, she continued to pour the batter in the cupcake-liners, ensuring that it was evenly spread over the sugar-walnut topping.

There.

Now to take a breather.

AND admire her PINK! spoon and apron.

Hehe.
