500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

Chapter 506 Taming Cakes



"Of course. I hope to stay close to you in the future as one of your advisors and to record your journey. Karine doesn't have to be with us every time either if you would like to do something more personal. Maybe a chat over tea or a moonlight walk?" Lexi suggested, and I nodded. This woman was very intelligent, and I would be a fool not to accept her offer.

"It would be my pleasure, but you have wine to sample, and I have some cakes to bake!" I said and closed the portal with a sigh.

"Wow, your life is more complicated than any book I have ever read!" Trina said in her maid's uniform.

"You have no idea," I said and turned to her with a smile. "Are you ready to make a cake that could even tame a dragon?"

"Aren't all Dragons intelligent people? That would be like saying it would tame a Human, right?" Trina asked, and I lifted an eyebrow.

"Do you want to find out?" I asked, and she lifted an opposing eyebrow.

"Is that I challenge you here trying to get out of me?" Trina asked, putting her hands on her hips, and I laughed.

"I guess there is only one way to get this started! I am going to make three of them, so we are going to need some cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, eggs, coarse wheat crackers, and some vanilla extract! we need some thick and heavy cream as well!" I ordered, and Trina nodded and ran to the cooler as Senna walked in, looking around.

"Where did the countess go?" Senna asked.

"To my place for a sleepover; she will be back sometime tomorrow, so she is leaving you in charge," I explained, and Senna shrugged.

"Not like things are really changing that much. Things around here pretty much run themselves beside the paperwork, but I have people always working on that to make sure things get approved and denied in a timely fashion. Shipping and moving are a bit of a pain, but I am working with Eliza on the new town plan for you. Tallia even took us on tour with Hilda and the five Mothers in Torrain. It has been years since I have had to go there, but I was stunned at the way the city looked. I thought that we had just stepped onto the Golem Island from how advanced everything looked at first," Senna said, and I nodded.

"Yeah, that was one hell of a project, but I think it all turned out well. Considering how much time I spent looking around the city made it a bit easier, but I still had to do it in layers. When I do Northwall, things should be much easier, but we have a few days before that happens," I said, and Senna nodded but then looked around at Trina.

"What are the two of you up to?" She asked.

"Right now? Just making some people taming cakes. Trina doesn't think I could melt a person to my will with a single piece of cake!" I laughed.

"I don't think that was how it went, but I am still skeptical about it. These ingredients are strange, and I don't understand how you are going to make this Cheesecake," Trina said, and I shrugged.

"Grab some butter while you are at it, and don't you worry, I will have you begging me for more cake after I let you try a bite!" I laughed as I walked over and transmuted three spring pans.

Senna only stayed for a bit but then said she had things to do, leaving Trina and me alone to make the cakes. We worked together in silence, but it was a comfortable one as if we had been working together for years. I was impressed with Trina's skill in baking, and when I asked her if she wanted to stay a maid.

"No, I think that I want to try something else. I have been to enough of Eliza's parties to know that I can do more than just cleaning," Trina said, and I nodded.

"I think that you are right. You would make a great chef or a personal assistant to me. Whatever you choose, I will back you up," I said, and Trina smiled, giving me a hug before pulling the cakes out of the oven.

I gave each of them a shake, but they had a nice jiggle, and there wasn't a single crack! Now it was time to make a fruit topping for each of them. I grabbed some citrus fruits and added them to a pot with some sugar, and then added some orange juice and lemon juice. I heated it up and let it simmer, and then I added some more vanilla extract and some cinnamon. I let it simmer for a few minutes before taking it off the heat and letting it cool.

Once it had cooled, I added it to the top of the first Cheesecake, and then I let Trina give the first one a try.

"Are you sure this is safe for me to eat? Should we go in the cooler first? Will I be able to hold myself back?" Trina asked as she looked at the piece of white cake with the light yellowish orange sauce dripping down it.

"This one is like a marmalade," I said, then grated some orange rind over her piece and then the rest of the cake that I placed under a cover. "It will be sweet and zesty from the lemon and orange rinds I grated on. While you work on that piece, I am going to get some sugar and water boiling and chop some Strawberries up for the next topping. These are going to be done in levels of amazing. I personally love this kind, but the Strawberry Cheesecake is one of the ones everyone seems to like."

"That does sound good, but then that means that they aren't going to be as good as the last one?" Trina asked as she slowly lifted her nose to her nose and then moaned. "It smells really good, but I just don't get it."
