Chapter 12: Was This Really a Cake? (1/2)

Lingshi City Light Spot Cat Café, on the first floor kitchen.

At that moment, Sugar sat upright on the small round stool, staring intently at the dial on the oven.

Occasionally, with a “ding,” the oven timer went off. Sugar’s smoky cat ears on top of her head perked up immediately, and she quickly got up to open the oven door.

A wave of heat rushed out, revealing a bizarre cake inside the oven that resembled an insole in shape and closely resembled dried excrement in color.

Sugar remained silent.

Shen Cheng glanced over and commented, “…”

The steps seemed right, and the final step was the oven. How did you manage to make such a strange creation?

Seeing Sugar’s cat ears droop helplessly, Shen Cheng reached out to pat her head, offering comforting words, “Actually, the first cake I made was quite similar to this…”

Nonsense! You’d have to have a negative talent in this aspect to produce something like this even with professional guidance!

“Ding.” Another oven turned off at that moment, and Shen Cheng instinctively looked over to see Cheese wearing gloves and taking out a beautifully golden, perfectly shaped cake that was mouth-watering at first sight.

Shen Cheng remained silent once more.

In the end, was it the seemingly clumsy one that turned out to be the most taleneted?

Next up was decorating with cream. In this step, Cheese’s clumsy talent finally became apparent. It was evident that Cheese wanted to draw a cat, but the result was a scattered cream decoration, turning a perfectly good cake into a mosaic cream cake with two strawberries for eyes, looking extremely creepy.

In contrast, Sugar first decorated the insole cake with a layer of cream, then arranged a neat circle of fruits, and finally used chocolate syrup to draw cute cat faces on it, instantly transforming the originally odd-looking cake into something visually appealing.

This operation could definitely be described as “miraculously bringing the dead back to life!”

Upon seeing it, Shen Cheng couldn’t help but laugh, “Maybe the two of you working together would achieve an extremely high standard of cake-making!”

Finally, it was time for tasting. Although Sugar’s cake looked decent now, Shen Cheng had already seen what it looked like inside and chose to try Cheese’s cake first.

Cheese watched expectantly as Shen Cheng cut a small piece of the “mosaic cream cake” and put it in his mouth. The cake was unexpectedly soft and smooth, quite pleasant.

Yet, the next moment, an overwhelming sweetness hit Shen Cheng’s taste buds like a hammer, and the cloying sensation surged up to his brain, causing Shen Cheng’s face to twist painfully.

Grabbing a nearby glass of water, Shen Cheng quickly drank it all, gasping for breath and glaring at Cheese, “How much sugar did you use?”

Cheese guiltily looked away, her tail wagging uneasily, while silently lifting half a bag of white sugar.

Shen Cheng remained speechless.

I recall this bag of sugar was just opened, right?

When did you suddenly dump half the bag of sugar in there?!

The cake left Shen Cheng’s brain throbbing. Sugar offered Shen Cheng another glass of water. After recovering for a while, Shen Cheng attempted to try Sugar’s cake again.

Under Sugar’s hopeful eyes, Shen Cheng tremblingly put a piece of “insole cake” into his mouth.

And then… there was silence.

Shen Cheng only felt a thunderclap in his head; he watched as three Sugars appeared in his vision, his mind filled with chaos.
