Who: Cath and May When:After This Where: The Kitchen What: Explorations and possibly baking Rating: Low/TBD Status: In Progress
Catherine Pinkerton was a baker before she was anything else. She was a daughter and a friend, a noble woman who "owned" a cat who disappeared, and she was a dreamer. Before she was courted by the king, before the whole mess with the Jabberwock, before Jest... She was a baker. There were few things in the world that would make her happier than being in the kitchen at Rock Turtle Manor, kneading dough, cutting out cookies, mixing frosting, turning basic ingredients into the most delectable offerings. It was part of why the king was interested in her in the first place. The quickest way to a king's heart was through his stomach, right? Key Lime Pie to the King's heart and all that.
That was a long, long time ago. Cath continued baking after her coronation, but the joy had faded. When she saw the cupcakes here and found that she could go into the kitchen to bake? Something inside her stirred. She reached out to the woman who made the cupcakes and begged asked for a tour of the kitchens. She longed to bake again, more than she longed for anything else.
