Jack set his jaw in a mulish line and continued to stir. "Never heard o' usin' a fork," he muttered. "I'll just keep stirrin'. Mebbe the lumps won't matter so much. They'll melt or somethin'."
Whistling, Brunswick made a show of backing away from the bowl as if he expected it to explode at any moment.

"We need a pan." Shade said abruptly, going back to his search through the pantry depths.

"An' we ought t' heat up the oven." Jack glanced over his shoulder. "Try the one t' your right. Oh, an' butter it. I think there's something 'bout greasing the pan on the box."
Brunswick edged over towards Callisto and shook his head mournfully.

Shade grabbed the pan, tossing it onto the counter and pulling out a stick of butter, which he liberally slabbed onto the metal. He looked at the clumps left there, but figured it wouldn't matter with the cake already having its own clumps. "What do we set the oven to?" He asked, reaching for the box. "Three seventy five..."

"If that's what it says, yep." Jack finally withdrew the spoon and absently studied it. The look on his face clearly indicated that it was taking great reserves of self-restraint to avoid licking it. Reluctantly, he dropped it into the sink and brought the bowl over. "For how long?"

Shade blinked. "There's three different time spans..." He said, shoving the box in Jack's direction.

"Got a calculator?" Shade asked blankly.

Jack blinked. Then he sighed as he upended the bowl to allow the batter to slide out into the greased pan. "Read 'em t' me."

"Thirty two to thirty four, fourty five to forty seven... and... this one's got goo on it..."

"Forty minutes it is, then." Jack scraped the bowl with the spoon. "Open the oven, mate."

Shade nodded, opening the oven and motioning for the other male to put the cake in.

"This is so not going to be good," Brunswick muttered to Callisto as Jack put the would-be cake in the oven and stepped back to allow Shade room to shut the door. Then the magician set the timer for forty minutes.

Calli shrugged, kicking her feet slightly. "I need a bath."
"Hey, should we go watch tv while this is baking?" Shade asked. He was getting bored already.

"Good idea." Jack brushed his hands off on a towel and then tossed it to Shade. Picking up Evie, he grinned. "I think Arsenal is playin' Man U."
