You made that? That icing pattern is awesome.

It's really easy to do; circles and then you drag a toothpick down through the circles.

...I am so having a Martha Stewart moment here now, ick.

Huh. I don't think I've ever iced cupcakes. So by default that makes you way more talented than I am.

How many did you make? If you feel like sharing, maybe you can convince Hector to let you come to the Loft.

Well, clearly you don't have Martha Stewart moments then. Alas.

Maybe, it sorta depends, I'm supposed to be talking to Hector about some stuff tonight, if I can even find him around here.
Cleaning the kitchen now too, since I made an ungodly mess in here, heh.

I needed to practice! For Hector's birthday, yes.

Considering I don't own cupcake pans, I don't think my life is sorely lacking because of the lack of Martha Stewart moments. Besides, when there's so many good cupcake bakeries around here, and because you bake, I don't feel too much pressure to learn. ...That probably makes me lazy.

Okay. Don't have too much fun cleaning.

I'm assuming you're going to need to pull out some extra-fancy icing techniques to please that one.

All you people are so lazy, seriously! I'm in the minority here with the cooking and all of that.
Oh, that reminds me, actually, of something else I need to ask Hector about.

Anyway, it's not that hard to learn.

I'm currently cleaning between the beeps of the computer dragging me back. But hey, that counts as cleaning.

/private/
Yes. Hence the lots and lots of practicing. I can't make those sugar flower things though, but I did find a place to buy them blank and you can color them yourself, so that's one less thing to learn between now and the end of the month.
The rest...yeah, complicated. I've looked a lot online though and most of the ones I've seen that look like what might work are wedding cakes, I'll just have to adapt the idea to something less towering and...wedding.
Hey, I've got until the end of the month, that's plenty of time! ...right?
Heh.

But our other talents make up for the lack of cooking? Hopefully.

I can probably manage the boxed mixes if I were desperate.

/private/
What flavor are you making them? Hopefully something that goes well with wine - if he's the type to get depressed and drink on his birthday. Or maybe that's just me.

Being tall is a talent?

Yeah, those are really...I'm pretty sure even Hector could do that, if he stepped foot inside a kitchen expect to eat. Can't imagine he would though.

Part of it has to be raspberry, so it'll bleed. :D
And I'm not sure, I won't be here for his birthday exactly, I'm guessing he doesn't like social time on his birthday, eh.

No, that would be genetics.

Maybe you'll be able to convince him to help you cook someday.

/private/
Bleed? That's very fitting for all the death-studying you do.

No, you'll be having an amazing time overseas. Or so I hope.

lacroix_styles May 12 2011, 07:28:51 UTC
Genetics just aren't fair.

Maybe, I still have hope, yes.

/private/
Oh yeah, it's a necessity!

I will! Just, yeah, sorta lame that he's kicking me out before his birthday, but not a lot I can do about that. I guess he wants to be alone.

Of course they aren't fair. Not everyone can have that vibrant purple hair that begs to be touched -- even if the purple part of that isn't genetic -- or the cute smile like you do.

...figured I should be nice and keep Hector from seeing that. Heh.

Maybe next year he'll want you around. Don't feel bad about it. Besides, I'm sure he wants you to have fun.

Ah...heh. Well, I don't know about all of that, but...that's very sweet.
Not fair! XP

Yeah...he probably would have...gotten annoyed, since I'm barely supposed to be talking to people. But hey, on the plus side...maybe he'll really like you after that lecture.
Just...hopefully not too much. That would be depressing.

He wants me to go learn, it's supposed to be educational. And I will! Just...not the entire time, heh.

Not fair? I can try to do better if you want me to. I have more where that came from.

Don't worry; if he does end up liking me too much, I'll turn him down nicely. Promise.

Just a couple more weeks and we'll be on a plane. Crazy, huh? Maybe it just seems like that to me, since I've never been on a plane. Never been on vacation either.

Oh, I don't doubt it. XP

Yeah, you better. >_>

The plane part I am not looking forward to, the rest though, yes, I am. And really, never been on a vacation, that's so depressing. See, new experience! Those are always fun!

Stoic, brooding, uses-way-too-many-big-words guys aren't really my type. You're my type.

Bet if we went on a wine tour and picked out something pricey for Hector, he'd be happy.

Mm-hn...so you've said. Oh, I believe you...heh.
...hey, I can use big words too! Just sayin'.

Oh yeah, Hector would love that. :D ...even more so since I've murdered a few of his bottles of old, expensive stuff. Oops.
