“Isn’t there anything I can do to help?” Hera asked Demi as her sister rushed from the oven to the decorating table.

“Can you mix the green icing?” Demi asked, blowing a strand of hair out of her face as she bent over the cupcakes. “I’m going to need it next.”

Hera picked up the bowl of white icing with a spoon sticking up inside it and added green food coloring. “These cupcakes are going to be based on the caterpillar from The Very Hungry Caterpillar, but why do you need this much green icing?”

“Green Eggs and Ham,” Demi said absentmindedly as she outlined an eye on the head of the caterpillar. “That’s what the cookies are for. I have the white icing already laid out, I just need the green yolk.”

“Oh.” Hera glanced at the cookies in question. “I thought those were moons.”

“No, I’m using the tarts as moons, each with a different phase.”

“Of course you are,” Hera said with a chuckle. “And what did you just put in the oven?”

“The honeycombs. Once you’re done getting that icing stirred together, can you start scooping out the melons?” Demi switched icing bags, moving on to the next color. “I’ve already carved the watermelon, you just need to empty it and then refill it.”

Hera frowned down at her bowl of green icing. “Is this good?” She showed it to Demi.

“Perfect, thank you.”

Hera switched tasks, picking up the melon baller. “This is so cute! The watermelon looks like an old fashioned baby carriage!”

“That’s the idea!” Demi smiled at her. “I’ll carve the part I removed and re-add it as the handle, and with pineapple rounds for wheels, it’ll be perfect, don’t you think? Try to make the three colors of melon evenly spaced out within it.”

“I’ll scoop the watermelon first and put the balls on a plate and then replace them with the cantaloupe and honeydew,” Hera assured her sister. She went to work, the tiny melon baller slowly eating away the pink flesh. “What else is left?”

“The main cake needs to be assembled,” Demi said, nodding her head toward multiple cakes that were cooling on trays. “And the rest of the Goldilocks platter, although that shouldn’t be too difficult.”

“The rest?” Hera asked, curious.

“I’ve got the ‘just right’ set out already, the toppings, but the ‘too cold’ and ‘too hot’ will be last minute additions.” Demi didn’t look up from her decorating. “It’ll require some power, naturally, to keep them at the appropriate temperatures.”

“Naturally,” Hera echoed. “Is the ice cream already made?”

“It’s in the freezer. And the heated sauces are in the fridge, I simply have to warm them up again before we go.” Demi put down the green icing pipette and blew her hair out of her eyes again. “I’ve got caramel, fudge, strawberry, peach, and apple,” she enumerated on her fingers.

“Sounds divine,” Hera said with a wink.

“Speaking of divine,” Demi said, heading for the oven. “I still can’t believe you didn’t recognize Augustine from the fight club.”

“How does that relate?” Hera demanded.

“It doesn’t.
