[...well, chocolate and strawberry don't go badly together, so she'll allow it.

she pauses at the curry powder, though.]

What's that?

[gamerbrain]

Dunno.

[shiftingwinds]

Let's leave it out of the cake if we don't know what it is. Oh, it looks like we need baking powder, though! Do you have any of that?

[gamerbrain]

Hmm, Got it!

[ she sets the curry powder aside but doesn't actually put it away. and goes and retrieves baking soda! close enough, right? ]

[shiftingwinds]

[sqx unfortunately does not know the difference]

And then... buttermilk and heavy cream?

[gamerbrain]

[ well they already have butter, so aoi gets milk and heavy cream! perfect! ]

[shiftingwinds]

[sqx unfortunately does not know the difference between buttermilk and milk with butter, so she allows it.]

And then... we'll need strawberries, of coures.

[gamerbrain]

Of course! Lots and lots of strawberries!

[ can't get that step wrong! ]

[shiftingwinds]

[looking back at the recipe...]

Okay... first, we'll want to mix the strawberries together with fifty grams of sugar, and then cover them and put them in the fridge.

[gamerbrain]

[ okay... okay... she's managing so far... strawberries in a bowl. 50 grams of -- oh no that's way too much, she spilled so much sugar in the bowl.

she looks over her shoulder to see if sqx noticed...? ]

[shiftingwinds]

[sqx is looking back down at the recipe again and did not notice]

[gamerbrain]

[ it's probably fine.......... strawberries are good. sugar is good. they're both ingredients. a little extra can't hurt? she hastily shoves that bowl in the fridge. ]

Okay!

[shiftingwinds]

Okay, and then we need to preheat the oven to... 218 degrees "c"?

[what does that even mean]

That's an oddly specific number.

[gamerbrain]

Got it!

[ she can do that part flawlessly! wow! ]

Aoi has heard that baking is like a science. It's very exact.

[shiftingwinds]

Oh... I suppose that makes sense, then!

Okay, next is to mix sugar, flour, and salt in a large bowl... and then "add the cubed butter and cut into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter"?

[what does that mean]

[gamerbrain]

Don't worry! Aoi understands!

[ she doesn't.

also there were Zero measurements in those instructions, so these are some very random amounts Aoi is mixing. sugar, flour, salt, butter... ]

[shiftingwinds]

[yeah the recipe i'm looking at just has the measurements in the ingredient list, not in the actual instructions, except for where it said 50 grams of sugar... rip...]

Oh, good! I'll leave it to you.

[gamerbrain]

[ this is the best. ]

Aoi won't let you down!

[shiftingwinds]

Okay, next it says to pour the buttermilk on top and ... fold everything together?

[what.]

[gamerbrain]

Got it.

[ folding is the same as mixing, right? she adds more butter and pours in some milk and starts mixing. ]

[shiftingwinds]

I guess at some point it's supposed to become solid enough for it to be dough...?

[it's


probably just a liquidy mess right now.]

[gamerbrain]

[ sure is. ]

Aoi can mix as long as it takes!

[shiftingwinds]

[welp]

All right! Do your best!

[gamerbrain]

Boop boop boop...

[ she really will just. keep mixing this for a very very long time. ]

[shiftingwinds]

[some time later:]

...okay, hold on, I think something went wrong somewhere.
