Private Finished Burning Is Not Baking

Somehow Jae got roped into helping out the school bake sale. Normally the student council would oversee things and make sure the baking and selling went smoothly. However, due to the hectic nature of the elections, many on the council were too busy with their campaigning to put much attention on the sale. Which, it wasn't a big bake sale. It was one of several done throughout the year to raise a little money for various projects. Jae couldn't remember what they were raising money for, something to do with the elementary school.

But before the table could be set up, several dozen more cupcakes and treats needed baked and that's where Jae and another student came in. The teen tied an apron around his waist and examined their supplies. Everything was provided, including space in the cafeteria kitchen. All he had to do was follow the recipes and not burn anything. Simple enough, though Jae had no experience baking anything.

A door opened, and Jae saw a girl walk in. "Ah, Katie. . . right? I'm Jae. Um, let's bake some cupcakes." How hard could it be?

Jae nodded, secretly happy Katie remembered his name. He was told who would be helping today, so he cheated. Still, it was nice to know he was memorable enough from their brief meetings. Katie joined him by the counter and together they got to it.

"Yes! Um, I guess one of use could do cupcakes and the other muffins? I've made muffins before" When was that? It was in Hawaii and his Auntie made them for a friend. She had Jae chopping the additions and pouring batter into their little paper cups. Auntie always asked him or uncle to help, so Jae knew a thing or two about cooking.

"Here's the cupcake recipe." He said, pushing the sheet towards her. "To start off it looks like we'll need flour and butter and sugar. Easy enough."
