Alessa was quiet while the adults spoke, until she was spoken to. She took the cupcake and studied it for a few moments before taking a bite. She almost didn't want to eat it because it looked so great. "Yes ma'am..." she said softly, placing the cupcake on the table, "I'm turning ten." Alessa knew not to speak with a mouth full of food; that was the only reason she didn't devour the entire cupcake.

"You'll be in the double digits soon, huh?" Marcie cracked a smile. "So for your cake, me and my crew can do pretty much anything reasonable. We can make you a chocolate cake, a vanilla one, a rainbow one, if you can dream it, we can probably make it!" She walked over next to the cash register and pulled out a piece of paper and a pencil. Could you maybe draw what you want your cake to look like?" She handed the paper and pencil to Alessa and gave her a slight smile.

"What does rainbow cake taste like?" she asked, "I really like this vanilla cupcake." Alessa looked to the paper and pencil, happily taking them and she began to sketch. Alessa went through a few ideas before finally choosing a sunset on a lake. "I should've brought my sketchbook..." she mumbled.

"Thank you," said Marcie, smiling. "The flavor can be entirely up to you. We can add different kinds of extracts into the cake, to make it different flavors. Right now we have vanilla extract, raspberry, mint, lemon, almond, cherry, and chocolate on hand. When people order the rainbow cake however, they usually want vanilla." She watched Alessa draw, amazed by her talent.

"I think I like vanilla the most." she said, giving a nod. Alessa then labeled each of the shades of the sunset, as she of course didn't have colored pencils. "Would it be possible to make the cake the colors of the sunset?" she asked, "So it looks like you're cutting into it?"

[-Blufox]

"Yeah, of course!" Beamed Marcie. She went to go look for the box of food dye, fumbling around in the drawers and cabinets. "Honey?" She called out into the other room. "Are you using the food dye?" A short moment passed when another hyena poked his head into the main part of the shop and handed the case to Marcie. "I was earlier, but you can have it." He said. "Thank you, sweetie." She kissed his cheek and put the case on the counter, in front of Alessa and Sammy.

"We have a bunch of colors that we use," She said, taking the shades of red, magenta, orange and yellow out of the case. "Are these colors okay for the inside of the cake?"

[Boomer]

Alessa waited patiently for the bottles of food dye. She picked them up and studied them closely. "These will be fine." she said softly. Alessa then pricked her ears. "Could we... maybe mix the dye into different colors?" she asked, "If that's alright, of course?"

[-Blufox]

“Yep! So if you wanted yellowish orange frosting you would put mostly yellow in with a few drops of orange or red.” She explained.

[Boomer]

Alessa gave a nod as she understood; she wanted to see what colors she could create and if she liked them better than the plain ones.

“Let’s talk about the exterior of your cake,” Said Marcie. “Would you like plain white frosting with borders on the top and bottom? Or something else?”
