Pro-curetember Day 24: Baking/Cooking!

Bonjour~! For today's prompt, I thought I'd give us all a lovely Animal Sweets recipe from Kirakira Pretty Cure A La Mode Episode 37, translated into English~. We'll be looking at the Hamster Pumpkin Pudding recipe! It's noted as a two star difficulty out of three, so keep that in mind.

Let's・La・Mazemaze!

What you'll need

For the Pumpkin Pudding:

1 Baby Pumpkin (This one was a palm-sized sweet and fluffy pumpkin, using about 500g of its innards)

2 Tbsp of Brown Sugar

100ml (3/5 Cup) of Milk

1 Medium Egg

15g (1/2 oz.) of melted, unsalted butter.

A little bit of vanilla oil

For the Caramel Sauce:

30g Granulated sugar

1tsp water

1tbsp boiling water

For the Sweet Pumpkin Hamster Decoration (Makes 6-8):

1/4 pumpkin (about 200g or 7oz)

10g (1/3 oz) unsalted butter

2 tbsp brown sugar

A little cinnamon

2 tbsp beaten egg

2 tbsp katakuriko (You can use potato starch)

6-8 almonds

Chocolate Icing Pen

Yellow Icing Pen

For your pre-preparation step, place baking paper on a baking sheet, and preheat your oven to 200 Celcius (or 392 Fahrenheit).

Step One

Wrap the whole baby pumpkin in plastic wrap, and microwave it in a 600W microwave for about 3 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap, cut off the top third, and remove the seeds and pulp with a spoon.

Step Two

Wrap the container and lid you just made in the plastic wrap again. Microwave once more in a 600W microwave for 1-2 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap, and being careful not to tear the skin, hollow out the container and lid. Note that the microwaved pumpkin will be very hot, so be careful when removing it!

Step Three

Put the hollowed-out pumpkin's flesh (that you removed in step 2) into a blender, along with the brown sugar, milk, eggs, and melted butter. If you don't own a blender, mash the pumpkin flesh thoroughly with a fork, then mix in the other ingredients.

Step Four

Beat your mixture from Step Three in a bowl, and add in the vanilla. Strain the mixture through a sieve once, back into a bowl.

Step Five

Place a steaming plate or dish in a pot filled with water (not the amounts included in the recipe). Place a sheet of baking paper on top, then place the Pumpkin Container you made in Step 2 on top of this. Pour in the pudding mixture you made in step 4, and steam for 2 minutes over high heat, then for 20 minutes over very low heat. Allow it to cool in the pot, then place in the refrigerator to chill. Freshly made pudding is very soft, so letting it cool in the pot without moving it is essential! Main Pudding is done!

Step Six

Time for the caramel sauce! Put granulated sugar and water in a saucepan, stir thoroughly, and then place on medium heat. Shake and tilt the pan to dissolve the sugar, as stirring can make the sugar harden and become gritty. Avoid stirring!

Step Seven

Once it has taken on a deep color, has turned fragrant, and is slightly smoking, turn off the heat and add in the boiling water. Be careful, since steam rises! It's safer to use a container with a handle when adding boiling water. Sauce is done!

Step Eight

Time to make the sweet pumpkin! Remove the seeds and pulp from the quarter pumpkin with a spoon, and remove the skin with a knife, before cutting into bite-sized pieces. If you're young, ask a grown-up for help with the knife! Place the pumpkin on a heat-resistant plate, loosely cover with plastic wrap, and heat in a 600W microwave for 4 minutes.

Step Nine

Put the pumpkin you heated in Step Eight into a bowl, and mash with a whisk. While it's still hot, add the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and half of the beaten eggs, and mix.

Step Ten

Add the katakuriko (or potato starch) to the mixture you made in Step Nine, bring it together with your hands and divide it into 6-8 equal parts. Shape the hamster's body and hands, as well as some small stars, and arrange the paws in front of the hamster's head on a baking sheet, then brush with the remaining beaten egg. If the mixture is still too soft to shape, add more katakuriko (or potato starch) to adjust it.

Step Eleven

Half the almonds to make small ears, and place them on the pumpkin hamster's head that you made in step 10. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 Celsius (or 392 Fahrenheit) for 8 to 10 minutes, then allow to cool. Be careful when removing them from the oven, as they'll be hot!

Step Twelve

Dip a chocolate pen in hot water and cut the tip, and use it to draw the eyes, nose, and mouth of the hamster on the pumpkin hamster. Use the yellow chocolate pen to draw the eyes and mouth of the jack-o-lantern on the pumpkin container. If it's too difficult to write directly on the pumpkin itself, you can write on a baking sheet and place it in the refrigerator to cool before applying.

Step Thirteen

Place the pumpkin hamster on top of the pumpkin pudding, and the pumpkin stars between its paws. Finish by pouring the caramel sauce over the top, and serving while in the pumpkin container on whatever plate you wish.

This was tough to translate, but I hope you all appreciate the thorough and detailed description of the method of making this hamster pumpkin pudding today! It was a lot of work, but it'll be worth it! Let's all make something tasty in the upcoming months, alright? Régale-toi bien!

Black Butler Amino, Black Arts Magazine - Holiday Party

it doesn't quite look like a holiday party from here, but what I imagined as a humble little piece is~~ Ciel and Lizzy sneak away from the big bustling midford Christmas party and raid the kitchen desserts, like they did when they were kids(it was Lizzy's idea, Ciel clearly hasn't been himself since he returned, and she wanted to bring him back).

[editorbit]

I love the peak comedy of sebastian being this literal demon who takes advantage of vulnerable humans and basically views ciel as his dinner that he’s practically counting down the days to eat, but he’s also this silly man who’s stuck making desserts and tea and tying a 13 year old’s shoes every morning

Like yeah he will eventually consume your soul, but he’ll also side eye you for doing the dishes wrong

[thestrangesthell]

Don’t mind me, just thinking about how Sebastian perfectly mastered Ciel’s tastes - and not just because his master needs to eat.

Sebastian didn’t need to master patisserie. He didn’t need to be the best cook and make food to rival that of *professionals* (as seen in the Curry arc). There was no need to go above and beyond what Ciel expected of him.

We know - canonically - that Sebastian can’t taste food in the way humans can. But he mastered the art of cooking anyway. He could have stopped when it was adequate. He could have left it the moment Ciel was satisfied with it. It is evident that he went past that stage and there’s something beautiful in that.

His complicated knowledge of what makes Ciel tick goes way beyond the contract. He genuinely respects Ciel’s wants, and clearly enjoys making the sweets his master likes.

Again, he doesn’t need to go that far.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but we’ve never seen Ciel order him to make these things *specifically.*

It winds back to the very nature of their bond - the very reason they are in it together at all. Ciel is Sebastian’s meal. That’s a done deal.

Maybe Sebastian wants every meal Ciel has to be just as exquisite as he knows his soul will be. They’re in this together, after all.

The symbolism of food in Kuroshitsuji is core to the story and something that crops up an awful lot. Sebastian’s cured interest in Ciel’s meals don’t benefit him in the slightest, (besides him being a cocky bastard who likes to be the best at everything). Perhaps at first - as he knew Ciel needed to eat - but his precision and interest goes beyond aesthetic. Call me a hopeless romantic, but it’s absolutely a form of genuine care.

If you really thought about it, technically, every meal could be Ciel’s last. Sebastian is making sure every meal and dessert is a good one and better than the last.

Anyway. Who’s excited for S4E4?

My favs x bday!reader

Saiki Kusuo (the disastrous life of saiki k), Muichiro Tokito (demon slayer), Killua Zoldyck (hunter x hunter), Neuvillette(genshin impact), Dazai Osamu (bungo stray dogs), our!Ciel Phantomhive (black butler) (seperately) x bday!reader

Synopsis: them with s/o who has birthday, how they celebrate, what do they do etc.

Notes: IT'S MY BDAY GUYSSS!!! I honestly wanna go back to being a little child, but oh well, i still have a few years. probably contains grammatical errors but oh well. not proofread. Am I happy with it? no. Am I gonna publish this? absolutely. i also wanted to include Bram Stoker from bsd but my brain was blank and i had no ideasss :((

cw: none i think?

☆*: .｡. o .｡.:*☆*: .｡. o .｡.:*☆*: .｡. o .｡.:*☆*: .｡. o .｡.:*☆*: .｡. o .｡.:*☆

Saiki Kusuo:

Would not make you a surprise party, but i feel like he would buy you your favourite cake, pastry, sweets, snack...just something that he know would make you happy. Nothing extravagant, just an average present, from an average guy. It's the thought that counts<3 Would like to spend some quality time with you, but if you wanna hang out with friends or spend time with family, he doesnt mind. He would make sure everything goes smoothly and you would be safe tho<3 Prolly wouldnt make a big deal out of this...It is just birthday after all, but he loves to see you happy soo<3

Happy birthday y/n...i hope you like the (favourite dessert) i got you

Muichiro Tokito:

It really depends, if you are a demon slayer, you would maybe have private training session, and a cute lunch on a break. Now if you aren't a demon slayer (condolences) he'd make time for you'd watch clouds together, eat lunch and spend some time together, but he is busy so... :( I bet he was smiling teh rest fo teh day though :3

Look...that clouds looks just like (favourite animal)...happy birthday y/n...i love you

Killua Zoldyck:

Thinks celebrating something like an anniversary of your birth is stupid :3 Would definitely ask Gon for gift ideas<3 Now, if you are helping Gon find his dad too, I feel like you two would end up having a play fight of a sort? Yk, to train your nen:3 But if you dont, or its already some time after the og plot line, he'd take you on a date, and give you choco robots! Tease you a little too!

look at yourself, in a few years, i wont even be able to call you a baby :3 is it just me or youre even more beatiful? must come witha age:3 Happy Birthday silly:3

Neuvillette:

Humans celebrate the anniversary of their birth? Why? He asks, why celebrate being even closer to death. It scared him...your death...It's so close, yet so far. When you explained him that it's to commemorate your past years, and celebrate what's to come. he understood, after all, humans have only finite amount of years to live, so he was going to make yours the best possible. He would clear up his schedule, or at least try. He would get you flowers and then he would take you to a romantic dinner to the finest restaurant in all of Fontaine, and then to a romantic walk by the shore, to watch otters (:3) He hopes many of these so called birthdays of yours would come.

Mon amour...we should do this more often, not only on special occasions...I love you so much...and these..."birthdays" only remind me of...future without you...

Dazai Osamu:

My man will ask you to commit double suicide i am not even joking. Honestly would either not gaf about your birthday or would be really attentive and romantic and i cannot decide.

Would you be willing to commit double suicide with me, on this important day? *smack*

our!Ciel Phantomhive:

It's not like i am lazy to write, but it's really hard to think of anything okay. I believe you would have tea party. A lot of Earl grey tea, a lot of sweets...and chess or other board games. You will just spend quality time with him...and technically Sebastian too, since he will be tending to your needs, and preparing all the food :3

Happy birthday dearest, i hope the cake is to your liking, i had Sebastian prepare it out of the finest ingredients

Sebastian & Co. - Riddle Rosehearts Reader

🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.

I changed it up a bit Anon, and made you Ciel's long lost cousin twice removed and a lord instead of an earl, pre overblot riddle, beheading is literal. But your butler is still Trey and your staff is still the rest of the Heartslabyul cast like we discussed before. Sorry for not posting at an earlier time, my seasonal allergies turned into a very bad cold. —Benny🐰

Warnings -> Passing mentions of decapitation...

                                                                                                   

🔯•♡•🔯•♡•🔯•♡•🔯•♡•🔯•♡•🔯•♡•🔯•♡•🔯

🐈‍⬛ Sebastian's first impression of you was... not great. When he opened the front door to let you inside, you were in the midst of shouting at your butler about following rules and then you turned to him and said "It's about time!" So you were another cheeky brat like his master, it seems. The demon didn't mind you all that much though, he was used to dealing with children already.

🐈‍⬛ He was a bit shocked that you were Ciel's distant cousin, but then again your soul was just slightly similar to that of his master. While you and his young master conversed about your childhoods, Sebastian listened in from where he stood off to the side. All he could really offer your situation sympathy-wise was a short muttered "Oh."

🐈‍⬛ Upon your arrival you had brought a few members of your staff with you, which Sebastian thought of as strange since you came here to see his young master only. But he figured that you must have wanted to introduce them to your cousin. Or... to give them an example of how to do their jobs properly, from what the demon butler saw, they were just as incompetent as the Phantomhive Manor's own staff. Ugh. Such misfortune.

🐈‍⬛ Sebastian did however meet your own butler who went by the name of Trey Clover. He was quite impressed with his performance considering he was a human. Though later in the visit you had sent Trey to assist him with dessert, something about "Trey, go make me a tart.". And dear me did Sebastian find out your butler can make a good ass tart.

🎩 Ciel was quite shocked to find that he had any family left after Madam Red's unfortunate passing. You looked a bit similar to his aunt as well, but you quickly clarified that you were his distant cousin twice removed. The young earl was definitely taken aback at your intense dedication to the rules your mother raised you with. Ciel was even more shocked that you hold your staff to the same rules and behead those who disobey.

🎩 Truth be told he finds you quite childish and audacious, such rules are utterly ridiculous, and he tells you so. Fortunately, you can't bring yourself to behead Ciel and the two of you delve into a long talk about your differing childhoods. He learned of your mother and what she put you through, but he can't help but be envious that you still have your parent, even if they aren't the best. Ciel doesn't tell you that though.

🧹 Poor Mey'rin is terrified of you! She was moving a stack of expensive china plates from the storage room to the kitchen and as she walked through the tea room, past you and the young master, she tripped! The plates sailed to the ground and broke on impact. As Mey'rin turned to apologize, she was met with a very angry you, shouting about how she should be beheaded for her mistake.

🧹 Thankfully one of your staff, Ace, made up some excuse that calmed you down and helped her up. Mey'rin instantly fell in love, he was such a 'kind gentleman'. How he looked in her eyes with that boyish smirk and said, "Let's get outta here.", she couldn't hold herself together and sprinted out of the room in embarrassment.

🧯 Bardroy is peak annoyed with you, he already has the young master, he doesn't need another spoiled child to deal with. He was 'cooking' in the kitchen, right, trying to make something for the esteemed guest. So he did the usual, light a stick of dynamite and toss it in the oven, right? Then the oven exploded and Bardroy could hear your shouting all the way from the game room.

🧯 You ended up sending in one of your staff to check out what happened in the kitchen and that's how he met Deuce. Bardroy thought he was a pretty nice kid even if he too had no idea how to cook without being destructive either. He also found the interest in pots to be weird. "Let's just use a pot!" "Eh!? Steak in a pot?"

🪴 You scare Finny sometimes, yes, but he knows that deep down you're probably really nice. While both you and the young master were sitting in the garden having tea, he accidentally let a hedgehog loose. However, his suspicions were proved right when he noticed that you had picked up the hedgehog and sat it on your lap, petting it as if it were a cat.

🪴 A member of your staff named Cater had literally bumped into him while he was walking past the newly installed rose hedges. He and Finnian got along swimmingly as they spoke about their shared interests with one another. He also found that Cater really enjoyed taking photographs in his free time.

— Good morning, my lord! — [Reader] opened the door.

The view was the same as almost every day. The young lord was sitting in a navy blue, plush armchair and looking through the morning newspaper. He didn't take his eyes off it. He knew she would come. She was punctual. The same couldn't be said about the rest of the residence's staff.

— How are we feeling in the morning?

— Fine — Ciel replied quietly.

For him, it was an extremely elaborate statement. If Sebastian asked him about it, he usually told him to mind his own business. And when the other inhabitants of the estate did this, he preferred not to say anything because they began to get so happy that they would not leave him in peace for the rest of the day.

The girl grabbed the porcelain teapot and started making tea. The amber liquid sparkled in the decorated cup. The girl placed the saucer on a small table.

Phantomhive waited a moment to hear the sound of the door closing but to his surprise he didn't hear it. He looked at the maid. She stood with her back to him, leaning over the silver tray. When she started to turn away, he hid his head behind the printed pages, pretending to be reading.

A plate appeared next to him. An elegant plate full of cookies.

— It's too early for dessert — he said.

— Nonsense! — [Reader] rolled her eyes. — Sebastian is the one who keeps saying things like that. However, I think there is nothing wrong with sweets before dinner. Occasionally.

Ciel looked at the dessert. The baked goods looked average. Crispy, with chocolate pieces. However, their scent tickled his nostrils pleasantly. He felt his mouth water at the thought of tasting them.

— Did you make them today? — The question hung in the air, even though he knew the answer.

— I got up a little earlier. The lord had a hard day yesterday so I thought it would cheer him up. — She smiled.

The boy felt strange for a moment. He knew how much she had to do every day. She woke up long before him to take care of his house. In addition, she also had to correct the mistakes of Baldroy, Mey-Lin and Finnian. Tanaka wasn't that harmful but then again he wasn't very helpful either. Sebastian could arrange everything but she didn't like asking him for help. They tended to stay out of each other's way. Especially since the demon has been getting other tasks lately. Someone finally had to investigate in the queen's name.

And yet the maid denied herself the sleep to make these cookies for him. He felt a tightness somewhere around his heart but he decided to dismiss the ridiculous thought. Nobody cared about him. She did it because it was her job.

— You can take them. — His words were cold. So contrasting to how he felt inside.

— The lord won't eat even one? — She raised an eyebrow.

He shook his head.

For a moment the room was filled with silence. She was interrupted by footsteps. Suddenly, the newspaper paragraph was replaced by a girl's hand and a plate.

— Let's play a game. — That caught his attention. He became even more angry with himself. She knew him that well. — Please, taste them, my lord. If you don't like it, I'll leave the residence. Otherwise, I'll bake them whenever I want and you will always have to eat them.

— How do you know I won't lie? — He reached for the cookie.

— I'll take the risk. — The corner of her mouth turned up.

Ciel took a bite. He expected something extraordinary. Sophisticated taste. Secret spice. Amazing texture. None of these things! They were normal. As average as they looked.

As he took another bite, he had an epiphany. He was tricked like a little child. It wasn't about confectionery skills at all. He lost because he expected to fight on a completely different front than the one on which it actually took place.

— They're virulent — he growled.

— I knew it'll be like this. — Her smugness seemed to light up the entire room. For a moment he thought that she looked really nice in the bright light. The glow reflected in her eyes, reminding him of the radiant sun just outside the window. What was he even thinking about?

— Really? — He gritted his teeth.

— You like me too much to throw me out — she said.

She hit the nail on the head.

He felt a blush rising to his pale cheeks. For the first time in a long time, he was lost for words. Ever since she started working here, she had done and said things that made his heart beat faster. She was annoying. At the same time, he didn't want her to stop. He was stuck in a vicious circle and somehow he was in no hurry to change the whole situation. Yet he could fire her at any time.

He couldn't stand her smug expression as she headed towards the exit. He hated losing.

— Play chess with me.

— Chess? — she asked.

— Yes. How many times do I have to repeat? — he sighed irritably.

He placed the pieces in the starting position. If she thought she could just leave after all this, she was sorely mistaken.

[Reader] sat down hesitantly in the chair in front of him. He was pleased to see her slight confusion. She didn't expect this.

The game was going his way. However, he had to admit that his opponent was quite a challenge. The girl thought logically much better than he expected. Once she even managed to trap him in a bad situation. It took him a few moves to realize the trap. However, he managed to recover and was on the way to victory.

Chess was much simpler than life. They had clear and explicit rules. They rewarded the better and punished the worse. Only those who deserved it felt the taste of defeat. Completely different than in reality. A place where nothing was black and white, only shades of gray. Just like their strange relationship.

He moved the knight.

— [Readerrr]! — The door to the room opened with a bang.

Mei-Lin ran through the doorway. Red hair flowed behind her as she crossed the distance between them. Her glasses fell off her nose. She hurriedly picked them up from the floor. Even the carpet couldn't save them. One glass cracked, creating an ugly spiderweb on the surface.

— Oh my, my, my!

— What is it this time? — You could hear the tiredness in [Reader's] voice. The head of the Phantomhive family had no doubt that she had been through this hundreds of times, just as he had before Sebastian showed up. — Garden?  — She got a shake of her head. — Living room? — Same answer again. — So the kitchen… — [Reader] said. She didn't have to look at her co-worker to know she had nailed it. — It was very nice to play... — She was about to get up when the young master's hand gesture stopped her.

— We're not done yet — Ciel said.

— Ah, but... the kitchen! — Mei-Lin said.

— Find Sebastian. He will take care of it. — The lord moved his rook, thus indicating that he considered the conversation to be over.

— But I don't know where he is — the maid whined helplessly.

Phantomhive took a deep breath. Sometimes he really wondered why he kept all these people here. Maybe he should hire someone new?  He exhaled slowly through his nose.

— You worked with him in the living room today, so start in the living room. And if it's not there, keep looking until you find it. Have I made myself clear?

— Y-yes, of course! — The woman ran out, stumbling.

Maybe he was doing something stupid. After all, the kitchen was on fire. He shook his head slightly. Everything in the mansion burned down at least once a week, so it didn't really matter. Besides, why did he have his one hell of butler?

Ciel looked around the board, studying his options. It was basically a formality now but he still waited for her next move. However, only soft snoring answered him. He looked up from the black and white board. [Reader] rested her head against the plush headrest of the chair. Closed eyes and a steadily rising chest could only mean one thing. She fell asleep. How did sleep overwhelm her so quickly?  He had no idea. She must have been really tired. She had been helping him with his documents at night for the last week. However, he didn't think it would bother her so much.

He almost woke her up but then stopped himself. He brushed away a strand of hair that had escaped from her updo, then reached for the blanket lying on the backrest and covered the girl with it.

— Maybe I really like you too much...

He quietly moved towards the door and closed it.
