Chapter 11 - Grade 8

Rainbow sprinkles, uncooked chocolate cake batter, and Fishy Phil's Frosting Co 's Salmon n' Chocolate frosting now covered nearly every inch of the students and classroom. Everyone's eyes made their way to Kitty and Maddie, who seemed competely unfazed by the sudden sweet shower. 

"Oh no. Our cake has exploded," Kitty stated robotically, while Maddie licked frosting off her forearms.

Alistair's gaze was drawn to under their desk, which had the most lucious and entcing chocolate cake sitting near their feet.

Uncle - or, Professor - Garfield marched toward their desk, and began to intensely sniff their workspace. It seemed as if he was looking for an answer to what had just taken place, and at last he finished his inspection and spoke up.

"You clearly added too much baking soda," he said, and placed a handfull of the batter into his mouth and continued, "This is also super undercooked, did you even put it in the oven at all? Your frosting is delicous though, but it wasn't even made by you! I'm going to have to give you girls an F for this disgrace of a cake!" 

Maddie and Kitty had fake somber expression plastered on their faces, while Kitty held a container of Eddie's Explosive Baking Powder behind her back. Garfield took another few licks of the frosting before moving to critique the next table, which usually consisted of him recommending to add more grease. 

Lizzie and Dennis - well, mostly Dennis - were nearly done making their tum tum fondue. Dennis was pouring the sweet, red syrupy fondue into the bowl, while Lizzie got another student to place a variety of cookies and pastries around a tray for dipping. Garfield took a comedic inhale, sniffing their dish from across the classroom. He took a few giant steps, and was standing right in front of their kitchenette. 

"Are you two ready?" He asked, almost not waiting for their answer to dig in.

"Yes," Lizzie said, as though it was her hard work that she was displaying for him.

He pulled a large soup spoon out of the inside of this vest, and took a generous amount of the fondue up and into his mouth. He threw a few handfulls of cookies in with it, and chewed twice before thinking up his final verdict.
