The Bake-Off

(A/N Heyyyy what's up? Thanks for sticking with me, hope you enjoy some awful baking!)

I have made an awful mistake.

Like, really awful.

So you know those cooking shows where people compete to see who can cook the best?

Well.

I was watching one of them and Captain Rogers asked me if I cooked and I said sort of. And then in a chain of events we decided to have a bake off. I, of course, got to be the host, because I knew how these shows work.

We divided into teams. Captain Rogers and Mr. Bucky versus Ms. Natasha and Mr. Clint. "For your challenge you will have to bake a two layer cake decorated for..." I paused dramatically. "the woods!"

"Uh... what?" Mr. Clint asked.

"Decorated in a sort of wilderness cake."

"Oh."

So they started mixing together the ingredients- I gave them recipes, I didn't want it to be a total disaster- and they were off!

It was messy.

Mr. Clint dropped the bag of flour and suddenly we had a white carpet instead of brown, and Mr. Clint cursed. "Language!" Captain Rogers called as he put in chocolate chips. "Ah frick." He said as the bag tipped.

"Language!" everyone called in unison, including me.

As I swept up the flour, they put their cakes in the oven. I had to show Captain Rogers how to use said oven, but there were no burns so I considered it a victory.

Until we were getting the cakes out of the oven and Captain Rogers burnt his wrist.

   Sigh.

   We had to wait for the cakes to cool so we made icing, which led to and icing fight between Mr. Bucky and Mr. Clint, which ended when Ms. Natasha dumped a bowl of icing on Mr. Clint's head. They then made enough icing to ice the cake and by that time the cakes had cooled.

After icing the cakes, it was time to decorate. Captain Rogers took a normal approach and used colored icing from the pantry, making a really cool leaf pattern cake. Mr. Clint decided to mix his own colored icing and while he did make a cool tree-bark pattern, everyone could tell he used way too much food dye.

And then it was time for the taste test.

Captain Roger's cake looked amazing but he used 3 cups flour instead of 3 cups sugar and 1 cup salt instead of 1 cup flour. I struggled to not vomit. At least there was chocolate.

Mr. Clint's cake was better- except the overwhelming taste of food dye. Then I got to the middle and... he put in mint leaves. Because of my spider powers I hate mint. I ate it to be polite but I nearly vomited like twenty times today.

I told them Mr. Clint won because he used the right ingredients.

I am never doing a baking tournament with them again.

Oh and also we're giving Tony some of the flour-salt cake as a joke. It was Mr. Clint's idea.

We would give him the food dye cake, but the goat ate it.

We're really getting tired of the goat.

Captain Rogers has named him Darrell.
