"Those are just...air bubbles," Jessica nodded, thinking of reasons that justified why their mix looked like complete shit. "I mean, we haven't added the good stuff yet, like..." and she went back to the recipe, quickly skimming through it, "vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and the food coloring. Once we add all that, it'll look loads better." They had to keep positive, especially because she was pretty sure that somewhere, Nick was laughing his ass off at them, the bastard.
So she grabbed a small bowl and her three ingredients. She purposely added more than the recipe said to because Jessica was convinced that the more they added, the better their mix would look. The dye was perhaps the only thing they couldn't go wrong with, so she went ahead and put all of it in, and then with a satisfied nod, dumped it into the bigger bowl. "Next comes the baking soda and vinegar."
