[ This time, she doesn't flinch. She's getting used to it, little by little. ]

Oh, goodness, if it's no trouble, I would very much appreciate that.

[ And she can use those skills to bake things for Anna in the future! ]

[onebadapple]

It's no trouble for a dear friend.

[Snow White began by pulling out every measuring cup, spoon, and bowl as well as all her unique cutlery and utensils, from whisks to pastry brushes, spatulas and her rolling pin, frosting bags and all the various tips, and everything else in between.]

Now, let's begin with the things you'll use every day and every time, and the things you may only need a few times, to the things that are only in a great while.

These are measuring cups, spoons, and bowls. They're something you're going to be using every time you bake or cook. Until you feel ready to start adjusting recipes, these will help you follow things exactly. The better you get at using them, the more you'll be able to just know the amount without measuring it all. But even I use these when I have new recipes.

[gelum]

I don't have a problem using exact measurements.

[ Elsa did love math, after all; things were a touch more beautiful, when they were precise and exact. Gently, she ran her fingers along the various tools. ]

These are for decorating, aren't they? [ she asked, gesturing to the tips. ]

[onebadapple]

You and my employee, Lelouch, would get along fabulously. Apple likes exact measurements too!

[Snow is more pure intuition, but mostly because she has all her recipes memorized.]

That's exactly right, Elsa! Each tip creates a different design with frosting.

[gelum]

I'll have to speak with both of them at some point, then.

[ Elsa smiles and surveys the tips. ]

I wonder... You could make the crocus with these, I'm sure.

[onebadapple]

The crocus? You mean the flower? Oh yes, but making flowers takes a bit of practice. We're not going to get to that right away. First, we have to go over the basics, from cooking temperatures, ovens, and everything else in between! Also, and the most important part of all, you have to be alright with failure. No one, not even me, gets a recipe perfect the first time around.

[gelum]

Yes, of course. But a goal is a good thing to have, isn't it? And my kingdom's flower is the best I can think of.

[ But Elsa is ever the attentive student, and she nods. Failure, though... she's a little nervous about making a fool of herself in front of her friend and roommate. But it'll be fine. ]

I'll try my best to keep that in mind. [ She also feels like she should have a notepad and pencil for notes... ] Now, Miss Snow White, what shall we start with?

[onebadapple]

Oh a goal is a wonderful thing to have in mind! And perhaps you can even learn to make your pretty snowflakes like when you first came to the city!

We shall start with the most important thing in all of cooking and baking, taste!
