I walk out wiping my hands on my apron.

"Oh hi, Ella."

"Hi ah, Lauren wasn't it?"

"Yeah, it is. Good memory."

"Thank you I'm good like that."

"So a little bird tells me you're doing a cake for a friend."

"Oh, the Minecraft cake. Yeah, should be interesting. I'm thinking you must have pushed him towards using me if so thank you."

"Not a problem Ella so how many of those tarts do you have today?"

"Oh, about thirty. Let me guess you want them all?"

"Yeah, and I want it now."

"Very funny. Quoting Queen nice Lauren."

"Oh, you're good."

"Yeah I am but I'm daggy like that give me old classic rock I'm good."

"You know we girls love these. There's always a fight over the last one."

"Yeah, that Norman guy was saying that."

"That Norman guy?"

"Yeah, the guy that came in yesterday."

"You know I'm having a birthday party for a friend in July do you think you could do the desserts."

"Sure let me guess these tarts, little eclairs, mini sponge cakes."

"Can you do lots of chocolate things?"

"Of course, I can."

"Well, that sounds like fun."

"Any idea on numbers I'd be looking at?"

"Fifty maybe. It's the 22nd of July you okay with being booked then?"

"Oh of course. I'll drop a menu over when I drop over the cake in oh two days."

"Sure thanks for these I'll see you tomorrow I'm sure the girls will want more."

"You know at the rate you girls are going I'll have to make more of these."

"Oh, I'm sure you should we do love them." As she turned and walked out the door.

Back on set...

"Hey Lauren, what have you got there?"

"Oh a little something to tired us over Emily." Grabbing a tart from the box.

"Damn girl you and she are going to make us fat." I look towards Norman's trailer.

"I see Norman's here. Is she here?"

"Yeah, clingy as usual giving me the evil eye. As if I'd go after someone like Norman not my type at all. Way too old."

"Who's too old? Lauren, you didn't. Oh man, I love that bakery."

"I know you do Melissa, I think we all do."

"Emily you're needed in makeup."

"Well let me have one more of those before they all go." She takes another tart and heads towards the make-up tent.

"So did you book her for Emily's party?"

"Yeah of course I did Melissa."

"Watch out here she comes."
