Hello loves! While I haven't been writing, I have been working on updating some issues that have been hanging around on the layout! The Character change box is now at the bottom of the page, beside the up/down arrows! Green and Gold dragon flight dates have been shifted to the bottom of the page, where the (useless!) discord widget was located. Where the dragon flights were in the header, is now replaced by a Monthly Event box! This will be updated at the start of each month, with a fun mini-event you can take part in, if you want to! Thistle!

Mylorah was still beaming with happiness as the trays were pulled from the oven. C'dhin was going to seek out Misharan and her cookies looked fluffy and not burned! The afternoon was already considered a success and she hadn't even sampled the goods yet. When she did, she tried C'dhin's version first, moaning as the cookie melted in her mouth and left her craving more. Then she tried hers--and gave the same reaction. Holy shit! She did it, she actually did it!C'dhin earned a kiss to his cheek in celebration before Mylorah danced around his kitchen as she finished eating her cookie. All she had to do was repeat everything they did on her own and she could be counted as a proper cookie baker.
They removed the cookies from the sheets, setting them aside to cool properly, and then scooped out the remaining dough to bake. As that was going, C'dhin walked her through the cake recipe she wanted to try. It was a bit more advanced, but still easy enough for her to conquer and manage on her own--if she paid attention. Mylorah was all about that attention and friendly chats were forgotten as she listened to the advice and followed C'dhin's directions for measurements and methods.
They paused to remove the cookies from the oven and then returned to what was called shortcake. Eventually the batter was poured into pans and C'dhin explained the wait time was even longer than the cookies had been. At least some of the time would be passed with dishes but she wondered what else they could talk about to fill in the remaining time. C'dhin had that covered though. He sat her down and laid out the recipes they had used as well as blank parchment and writing utensils. He told her to write them down and then gave her two more recipes that were similar in skill level, walking her through them without actually mixing anything.
By the time she was done, C'dhin was showing her how to check when a cake was ready. Then she had to learn the joys of waiting for a cake to be cooled enough to add toppings that wouldn't heat up and turn soggy or melt, depending on what she added. Waiting definitely sucked. C'dhin told her he either worked on the next batch of baking in that time or wandered off to eat or visit a friend. She didn't blame him and wondered if she could get away with doing that now, but decided to pester him further on whatever topic came to mind even as she answered his own questions about her life. Fair play and all that.
Finally she had a cake with berries in the middle and on top and Mylorah couldn't believe she did it. They had made a few small individual sized cakes since they had two batches of batter and she wanted to sample the cake without cutting into the large one. So good. C'dhin was a miracle worker and Mylorah gushed about him to him with the promise of telling everyone else. "I can't believe I baked something and neither one of us is dying or stealthily ditching it in the nearest bin. I'm going to go find Misharan and share this with him!" She had sent some food with R'dal not too long ago but this was actually good!
