Hermione thought the cupcakes looked like they had cooled down enough, and it was time for the finishing touch. FROSTING! She couldn't pretend she wasn't excited about doing her favorite part of baking. She started to frost her cupcakes, and would be done with her first Charms Lesson pretty soon, which was a accomplishment in her book.

city_girl_95 · 05-17-2010, 06:34 PM

As Amy looked into the oven to see the cakes rising she decided to create the frosting, she looked at the frosting recipie:

• 1/4 cup powdered cocoa
• 6 tablespoons coca cola or other cola
• 1/2 cup butter
• 3 and 3/4 cup powdered sugar (one 1 lb box)
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Amy heated up the saucepan and mixed in the cocoa, cola and butter and waited it to melt, once it was melted she brought it to the boil took it from the heat and added the pecans, sugar and vanilla and began to stir, watching it blend, then when she had finished she put it to the side and let it set. Then she looked back into the oven, checking they were still rising

• 1/4 cup powdered cocoa
• 22 large marshmallows
• 2 cups all purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs, beaten

Amy adjusted the cooker to the right 325 degrees and lined the cupcake cases she threw the cola, butter, vegtable oil and cocoa, brought it to the boil and added marshmellows, she watched them begin to melt, when they had melted Amy took out her wand and cast a spell which sent the spoon round and round, watching it mix the mixture

Slowly she pulled out another big bowl and added flour, sugar and baking soda, added buttermilk, eggs and vanilla and began to mix it manually for 10 minutes, she added the first bowl to the second and spooned it into the mufin cases. She put the cases in the tray in the oven and waited for them to bake

Delilah helped Amy mix together the icing and when the cupcakes were in the oven and the icing was finished, Delilah looked at Amy. "and now we wait."

With a sigh she looked around the classroom to see what everyone else was doing. Yeah... their super!special!secret! best friend cupcakes were a major WIN.

He sighed as she ~~whined~~ asked him if he could make it go faster. "You need to learn patience, Cadence." He watched as she walked off. "It won't take long!" Meh, he wanted his cupcakes.

More concerned about what was happening than she was about dusting the powder off, Lexi glanced up to see a spinning sieve---a very fast spinning sieve---tossing cocoa powder all about the place. Puffing a bit of cocoa powder out her mouth, Lexi pointed her wand at the spinning sieve and said, "Finite." Like a little frisbee, it spiraled a few times before she caught it in her hands.

"Miss Marlowe," she warned, handing the girl the sieve. "...only on the spoon for now." She brushed off the rest of the powder then glanced back up at the girl. She didn't want her to think she was angry or something. "It's alright, though. If you want to try the charm on a sieve, though, practice without any ingredients in it first." She gave the girl a little smile before turning to a different student.

Sidney is covered in flour and cocoa powder. She takes the sieve from Professor Carlton. Sidney accio some more ingredients then measures and sifts them the muggle way. When they have been sifted three times, she places the ingredients to one side. They won’t be needed until later.

Quote:

Ingredients
• 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup baking cocoa (powdered)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 sticks butter at room temperature
• 5 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk (see note at bottom)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon red food coloring

Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl. Sift dry ingredients three times.
Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy Add eggs one at a time, making sure to beat well after each egg.
Add 1/4 of dry ingredients to creamed mixture then approximately 1/4 of buttermilk alternating until mixed well. Mix in vanilla and food coloring.
Fill lined cupcake pans 1/2 full of red velvet batter. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool cupcakes in pans for 5 to 10 minutes then remove from pans. Cool completely on wire racks before frosting.

She checks the recipe. Now Sidney needs to cream the butter and sugar together. She pours the sugar into the two-cup measuring cup. Sidney opens up the two sticks of soften butter and drops them into the bowl. She replaces the spoon. Sidney levitates it up until the cup is slightly above the bowl. She then pours a small amount into it. Sidney uses the Locomotor Charm to cream the sugar and butter. When the first amount is thoroughly mixed, she adds some more sugar. Sidney continues to do this until all the sugar has been combined with the butter. It is now fluffy and light in color. The recipe says I need to add the five eggs one at a time. I didn‘t have any trouble levitating the mixing bowl, so I shouldn‘t have trouble levitating a smaller bowl full of eggs. I think that will be easier and safer then trying to levitate the eggs and crack them. She accios a medium bowl over from the work station. Sidney cracks the eggs muggle style into a small bowl. When she‘s sure the egg is alright, she pours it into the larger bowl. When all five eggs are in the bowl, Sidney levitates the bowel over the mixing bowl. She tilts the bowl carefully until one of the egg yolks and some white pours into the bowl. Sidney straightens the bowl back up and moves the spoon around vigorously until the egg and butter mixture are combined. She continues the process until all the eggs combine with the butter mixture. It‘s now smooth, and the spoon moves easily through it. Sidney levitates the bowl back on the table.

She reads the recipe again. According to it, Sidney needs to add the dry ingredients and buttermilk alternately. There is no way she‘s going to levitate and pour the dry ingredients. Sidney doesn‘t want a repeat of the sieve incident. She decides to do this step the muggle way. Sidney pours about a quarter of the dry ingredients into the bowl. She moves her wand around. The spoon moves around at a slow pace slowly mixing the dry ingredients into the egg/butter mixture. When all the flour is combined, Sidney says “Finite!” The spoon falls back to the side of the bowl. She grabs the spoon and scraps the bottom and sides of the bowl making sure all the flour mixture is blended with the butter/egg mixture. Sidney then pours the buttermilk into the measuring cup. She adds about a fourth of the milk into the cake batter and moves the spoon in strong steady circles around the bowl. She continues this process until all the dry ingredients and buttermilk is mixed into the batter. Sidney scrapes the sides and bottom of the bowl one more time. Satisfied the batter is completely mixed, Sidney accios a twelve cup pan and a box of paper cup cake cups. She places a paper cup in each cup. Sidney accios an ice cream scoop and uses it to scoop the batter out of the bowl. She carefully drops the batter into the cups. When the pan is full, Sidney wipes the excess batter from the top of the pan. She takes the pan over to the stove. She sets the oven temperature to 350 degrees. The oven lowers the fire until it reaches the right temperture. Sidney puts the pan in the oven and checks her watch. The cupcakes have to bake about 20 minutes. Well, all I can do now is wait. Sidney closes the oven door.

She goes over and gathers up the ingredients and puts them away. Sidney then stacks the dirty dishes and takes them over to the sink. She fills the sink with soapy water and, using the Locomotor Charm, washes and stacks the dishes in the drain. Sidney checks her watch. Time to check the cupcakes. She finds a box of tooth picks and takes two out. She opens the oven door and levitates the hot pan out placing it on top of the stove. Sidney sticks a toothpick into the center of one of the middle cupcakes. It comes out clean. She does the same with the four side cupcakes. The toothpick comes out clean too. Sidney grabs some kitchen mitten and takes the pan over to the table. She doesn‘t trust her levitating abilities with hot items. Sidney uses a knife to loosen the cupcakes and lift them out of the cups. She places them on a cooling rack. That‘s about all Sidney can do until the cupcakes cool. I hope we can ice them and then pig out on everyone‘s cupcake. I feel a party coming on.

Cadence continued to stand by impatiently until she couldn't take it anymore. Walking over to the cupcakes, she touched one of them. It felt pretty cool. Turning to look back at Torin, she smiled and said, "I think they're finished Torin!" And then happily grabbed the icing and began icing them with RA!NBOW colors!

He could feel her excitement about them and figured it would mean a lot to her for him to give her the option to choose whatever she liked. "Though I think you'll have to make it solo," he added nodding his head to Rose.

"Awesome!" She beamed, lowering the spoon. Just catching the last part, she glanced at Rose and hopped off her stool, running over to the pantry for treats to put on thier cupcakes. Her eyes glided over all the topings she could add, chewing her lip in thought. After a moment she grabed some gummy worms, sprinkles, chocolate and vanilla icing and flower shaped candies cause they were CUTE.

Carefully she walked back to thier table and placed all the items on the table grinning. "I don't think we can have them all each cupcake, but I like a variety."

"Nah. They're pink. And its the same shade of green." She said to him VERY briefly, her eyes not looking away from Professor Carlton. WHEE! Charming time. hehe. Iris liked charms.

Iris made a mental note of everything the professor said, and copied her as she did. Okay. So, bowl in front of me. "Wingardium Leviosa!" She muttered to herself, and carefully raised her bowl, then said "Fixate!"

Then she picked up the spoon and muttered the spell, "Locomotor Spoon!" Then, sticking her tongue out slighting in consentration, she began to turn her wand, and watched the spoon mimick it.

UNLIKE Jimbo, Iris reckoned she'd be able to catch it, so, one hand under the bowl, she muttered the spell that would cancel them all out. "Finite!" Oh yes. The bowl didn't even need to fall.

She looked at Jimbo and stuck her tongue out at him. He failed.

"Do I need a partner? Yes. I do. So I'll be YOUR partner. And We'll be awesome in our POLKA DOT green aprons. hehe."

Scooting down the work bench, she looked at the book that Jimbo was holding. "Eww. Those are plain, boring fairy buns." She said to him, refering to the basic cake recipy that was open on the page.

So she took the book off him, and flicked through it until she found the recipy that she wanted. "I reckon we should make some Butterfly Cakes. They're easy AND cute!" What's not to lose with them?

Iris looked at Jimbo and grinned, with a look that said they WERE going to make these cakes. Even if it was a butterfly. Looking round the class, Iris noticed that a lot of other people seemed to be very far ahead of them. Oops. That seemed... bad. They'd just have to work quicker to catch up.

Seeing as though Iris could bake, they'd be able to finish them quickly if Jimbo could bake too, and something told her that he could. Because he liked food.

Not bothering to let Jimbo argue, she got up and got the things they'd need, the ingredients and the utensils, and dropping them onto their work bench.

Oh, so now she was mocking him? Just because he didn't catch his bowl and she DID? Pfft. He glared at her for a moment before he laughed. "Yeah, we'll be the awesome Polka-dot Pastry Partners." Ha.

Oh. Well then. If Monty wanted to take charge, that was fine with him. They could split this. He could do the charms and she could do the cooking. Or each of them could do both like they're supposed to. After all they were BOTH supposed to LEARN the charms. It would be of no use if Monty didn't learn them. Especially since Jimbo could already do them.

Looking down at the recipe Jimbo double checked to make sure they had all the ingredients.

SPOILER!!: Ingredients

Once he made sure of that he looked at the first steps. "Here Monty," he said, handing her the bowl and wooden spoon. "Do the mixing. I'll put in the ingredients."

He grabbed the right amount of sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder and milk and poured it all into the bowl he gave Monty. "It says you have to mix it until it is 'pale and creamy'." He said, air quoting with his fingers. "Once you've done that, fill the muffin tray and put it in the oven for 20 minutes. I'll preheat it and get started on the..." he looked back at the book. "buttercream."

He got himself a second bowl and spoon, putting the right amount of butter in. He sifted the sugar like the recipe said to do then grabbed his wand. "Wingardium Leviosa!" The bowl rose and so did the spoon. "Fixate!" He was doing good so far. Although, he didn't really expect anything less when it came to charms. "Locomotor spoon!"

Turning his wand, he mixed until the buttercream got smooth the way the recipe needed. Now that he had that ready all he had to do was wait until Monty was done with the muffins and they could put on the buttercream. Hopefully it was good. Jimbo could use a good pastry.

brelovesweasleys · 05-17-2010, 10:13 PM

Rae was finishing up her cupcakes and waited for the professor to give her end of the lesson talk which would hopefully not include homework.

Taking the spoon and bowl off of him, she muttered, "Wingardium Leviosa!" and then "Fixate!" as soon as the bowl was at the right height for her to watch it properly. "I know what it says, I've been making these Butterfly Cakes since I was three." She said to him with a small grin. She'd chosen the easiest and most pretty looking cakes in the book intentionally. That way she'd be able to focus on the magic.

She watched Jimbo put all the ingredients in the bowl, and then said the next spell, "Locomotor Spoon!" and motioned in circles, mixing the cake mix together.

When it was done, she muttered "Finite!" and caught the bowl, handing it to Jimbo, "You can pour the mix in the bowl; I'll decorate them when they're baked."

WHOO! It was time to start putting the icing on them. He was excited for some reason. "I want to start pigging out on these, but I can't." That would be bad for him and all that. But he could have one or two.

"Orange cupcake," he said as he started covering his with his favourite colour. That was his special cupcake that no one else could eat.

Okay he could agree with the sprinkles, chocolate and vanilla icing, and flower-shaped candies... but gummy worms? I mean really, gummy worms? They were good to eat, but on a cupcake? Well, at least there was variety.

In agreement he said, "Variety's good. Much better if you can choose a different topping based on your mood or preference. I would suggest icing and a candy of some kind on each."

"Accio gummy worm," he pointed his wand at a gummy worm, a green and orange one. He snatched it out of the air with his teeth. Mmm. They were good, you couldn't argue with that. But on a cupcake?

Anna Banana · 05-17-2010, 11:56 PM

With a little sniff, sniff, Lexi realized that most of the cupcakes were either already done or getting closed to it. "If your cupcakes aren't completely baked, go ahead and do the last few steps now then return to your seats. Let's take a few minutes to clean up, then you'll be dismissed," she announced to the class.

With a little swish and flick of her wand, Lexi levitated a stack of paper trays around the room. "Go ahead and take a paper tray to put your cupcakes on. ...and yes, this means you can have all your cupcakes, though I don't recommend eating them all at once. Maybe...have one of yours then trade with a friend?" she continued.

"There's also a new addition to the Charms classroom this year. It's called Molly Weasley's Charmed Kitchen, and you're free to use it when you'd like to just practice or when you're hungry for a treat!" she explained. The little kitchen had been one of the first things Lexi had set up when she was moving into the castle a few months ago. It was a cute little kitchen and one that Lexi just adored. "I'll be in and out of the kitchen in between classes, so you're likely to see me there, too...you know, in case you have a question or need someone to test your products." ...and Lexi did like to test baked products. Especially cupcakes.

"Don't forget to check the oven you used and make sure it's turned off!" she advised. Again, Tate definitely wouldn't take too well to them burning down the castle. "Once your work area is clean and you've gathered all your cupcakes, you're free to go. Check the bulletin board on the wall outside my office---your homework will be posted shortly after class."

OOC: I'd like to take a little moment to thank everyone who attended my very first lesson. It meant a lot to me to have you all here! Points will be keyed in a few days, and the homework will up sometime tonight or tomorrow.

Edit: Homework is now up!

Text Cut: Homework

HaRoHeGiNeLu · 05-17-2010, 11:59 PM

Ellie smiled and put all her cooled cupcakes on a tray. Then she turned and made sure the oven was off. It was. She went to take a seat and wait to be dismissed.

MistressofDawn · 05-18-2010, 12:03 AM

Victoria was slightly disappointed that Charms was over with already. She enjoyed it immensely, especially when Teegan came over and helped. It made her feel better to have someone point out what she did wrong and how to improve it. However, she smiled slightly, knowing that there will be more in store in the next classes.

When hers and Teegan's cupcakes were done, they pulled them out and began to frost them. Victoria nearly drooled at the smell, but managed to control herself. After putting them on the paper tray, she began to clean up their working area, making sure she turned off the oven. After cleaning up, she turned and smiled at the older girl. "Thank you for your help today, Teegan. It really mean alot to me."

Cadence raised her eyes at Torin as said, in a tone dripping with sarcasm, "Very goooood, Torin. That IS an orange cupcake." Giggling, she finished icing the final violet cupcake with a flourish. Two of each color of icing. Perfect! Now who was going to help them eat these cupcakes. As the Professor started to end class, Cadence looked at their dirty things. She'd do that in a second, but fiiirst.

"Professor!" she said, raising her hand. "Would you like to try one of mine and Torin's super!special!secret!RA!NBOW! cupcakes?" she asked with a smile, showing her the tray of cupcakes. "I promise there aren't any egg shells in them!"

Oh, alright fine. He'd back off. Excuse him for trying to do things right. Geez. Didn't have to get snippy. He grinned back at her and grabbed the bowl, pouring it into the muffin tray.

He placed the tray in the oven to bake and took it out when it was ready. Once they were cooled, Jimbo handed Monty the buttercream so she could decorate like she wanted. They ended up looking really cute, to be honest. Trust Monty to pick a cute cupcake to bake. Grabbing one, he stuffed it in his mouth. "Mmm! We did a good job, Monty!" He grinned at her and held up his hand. "High five!"

Awww, YES! They get to keep them. Grinning, Jimbo took a paper tray and filled it with the cupcakes they had just made. He was not sharing. Nuh uh. Just Monty and him would be eating these. No one else. Jimbo was a greedy boy when it came to cupcakes. He shared other pastries and food, but not cupcakes. Especially not these. These were awesome. The only reason he was even sharing them with Monty was because she made them too. Otherwise, he would have stuffed them all down his throat already.

"Come along, Monty." he said, grabbing his things AND the tray. It was a bit difficult, but he wouldn't let go of the cupcakes. He'd have to check the homework and remember it instead of writing it down. Unless Monty wrote it down for him. Or something. But he was not putting down the tray. He would not risk someone stealing his cupcakes. Or, er, Monty as his' cupcakes. Yush.

Snacking on a few of the gummy worms, they both waited until the cupcakes where finally done. And just in time, class was ending and she wanted to take her cupcakes back to the room for a midnight snack.

Levitating open the oven, she took in the scent of the cupcakes as they wafted towards her before levitating them unto the table, careful not to sit them to close to her on Santi. "And now we add the icing." Carefully she cast a chilling spell over the cupcakes, cooling them just enough so that they wouldn't melt the icing.

She manualy opened to jars of icing and began to apply them to the cupcakes until each was covered in either chocolate or vanilla icing.

Santi levitated some flower cookies onto some of the cupcakes. They didn't look bad, and the gummy worms were better to eat solo. "So, batch of 30. 15 each?"

He turned his attention towards the dishes, deciding that she could finish the toppings as she wished. "Wingardium leviosa." He moved the bowls to the sink. Using magic he poured some water in and soap, and put the scubber in a circular motion. They would be clean soon enough. He also turned off the oven with magic.

Hmm, now how to deal with Rose. Almost close the bag? Sounds like the best option, but best to wait till everything else was done or she may find her way out to the cupcakes.

Two of each color of icing. Perfect! Now who was going to help them eat these cupcakes. As the Professor started to end class, Cadence looked at their dirty things. She'd do that in a second, but fiiirst.

"Professor!" she said, raising her hand. "Would you like to try one of mine and Torin's super!special!secret!RA!NBOW! cupcakes?" she asked with a smile, showing her the tray of cupcakes. "I promise there aren't any egg shells in them!"

He rolled his eyes at her. "Oh, whatever. You're just jealous 'cause you can't have an orange one." He smiled as he took the cupcake and started to eat it. It was so good. Wow, they were absolutely amazing. Though his cupcakes were still better 'cause he had made the recipe himself.

Alex quickly began to clean up then put all her cupcakes on a tray. She loved this class and couldn't wait for the next lesson. She did agree with her teacher's advice on not eating all of the cupcakes at once no matter how good they looked, too much chocolate would give someone a stomache and she didn't want to visit the nurse. she made her all her books were in her bag along with her quill and ink and then checked to make sure her wand was tucked in behind her ear. She wondered why she did that..next year she'll have to buy a wand holster. Alex then plucked one of her chocolate cupcakes with creamy chocolate frosting and white shavings on the very top and went up to the Professor. "Hello Professor want one of my cupcakes?" she asked with a bright smile.

After mixing up the dry ingredients one at a time she said "Wingardium Leviosa" to the butter and sugar and had them dropped into another bowl. "Locomotor Spoon" she said and it started mixing into a cream while Willow said "Accio egg." It flew into her hand faster then she expected and repeated this 4 more times. She then cracked them into the bowl by hand. She pointed her wand and said "finite" to the bowl mixing dry ingredients then said "Wingardium Leviosa" and hovered it to the other bowl to poor in. Once that was all mixed up she preheated the oven. "Wingardium Leviosa' the complete mixture bowl levitated toward the cupcake sheets and began to have the bowl pour it into the molds. That proved to be a messy task, but got it done. "Should have used the spoon" she thought. She used Wingardium Leviosa to place the cupcakes in the oven and cleaned all of her things while she waited.

After 20 minutes she said "Wingardium Leviosa" to bring the cupcakes out of the oven. She had a container of ready made icing and once again said"Wingardium Leviosa" to levitate the icing utensil and then "Locomotor icing utensil" to spread the icing on the cupcakes. "Whew!! Finally done. I hope these taste good. I still would have preferred brownies" She cleaned up the rest of her station and skipped out of class with a wave to the professor.

As his cakes cooled and his drizzled on the the icing and allowed them to set, he scribbled down the homework assignment.
Finishing of his cupcakes with a lovely glace cherry, Patroclus summoned a tray and piled then on, as he walked past the professor he turned and said
"Thanks for a great lesson, I cannot wait to devour all of these, bar the few i give away," he smiled and left the Charms class.

After the baking and frosting Dianna placed her cupcakes on the tray and tidied up.

"Thank you for the wonderful lesson Professor!" she said before leaving the Charms classroom.
