Izzy was working in the back of Baxter Bakery, making sure all of the equipment was clean and ready for Audrey to use. Her boss had been great at changing her shifts since Izzy had started back at school for her last year. Most people wouldn’t have been so accommodating and Izzy was very grateful for the understanding. She was humming away as she cleaned, wondering if Audrey had been successful in finding a dress yet or not. The wedding was getting closer after all.
Audrey was in the back room as well, a couple of her other employees in the front watching the counter and selling coffee. Audrey’s table was covered with different colors of fondant and decorations, and she was putting the finishing touches on a cake for a wedding this upcoming weekend. Not her own, obviously, but someone else’s. Audrey was starting to see wedding cakes in a new light now that she was going to be making her own at the end of the month.
Looking over at Audrey once she’d finished cleaning Izzy grinned, “That’s looking great Audrey” she exclaimed moving closer, “Do you know what yours is going to look like yet?” she asked excitedly.
"Thanks!" Audrey said, giving Izzy a grin. "Not really. I mean it's a Halloween themed wedding.... so. Magic? The cake will look like magic." That send like a good answer. She should really start planning, though.
“Magic works” Izzy replied, “Please tell me there’s going to be a little Merlin and Audrey on top” she grinned before gasping, “I could make them!” she offered, “So they’d actually be in your outfits but because you can’t see each others I can see them both and make the toppers for you. I mean if you’d like” Okay, okay so weddings brought out the girly side of her.
“Oh, there have to be.” Audrey said, then burst into laughter when Izzy offered to make them. “...I would love that, Izz!” She would have hugged the other girl, but she was currently covered in flour. And holding fondant. “That’s a really, really great idea!”
Izzy smiled brightly, “I’ll work hard on them I promise, I’ll make you proud” she told Audrey sincerely. “You know we’re all so excited about your wedding. If you need any help just ask, I mean we know you have your maid of honor but we’d still like to help if we can” All of Audrey’s employees loved her and Merlin very much and couldn’t wait to see them get married.
“You always make me proud.” Audrey said, giving Izzy a bright smile. She dusted her hands off on her apron, then moved over and wrapped one arm around her young employee. She gave her friend a squeeze, then went back to the fondant she was cutting and shaping into flowers and things for the cake she was working on. “You’re so sweet, honey.” She said, giving the girl a smile. “I’m going to need all of my girls--sorry, my girls and boy, now Michael is here--to help me with the preparations, then celebrate with me at the reception.”
Izzy returned the hug more easily now than she had when she first started work. She had gotten used to her bosses displays of affection and found herself relaxing more and more around her fellow workmates.
She laughed, “I’m sure Michael doesn’t mind being one of the girls” she grinned, “But of course we’re all ready to prep and definitely to celebrate. Do you know where the reception will be or is that in Merlin’s hands too?”
“That’s all in Merlin’s hands. I told him the bakery was available, though, if he wants to have it here. I’m leaving everything up to him. And if he needs my input or wants me to help take over parts of the planning, I’ve offered to do that, too.” Audrey said, nodding, then turning her attention back to the cake. She started to line up the fondant flowers.
“How can you not be dying to know what he’s doing?” Izzy asked her as she returned to her work too, “It’d drive me crazy, the not knowing” But then Izzy was a little bit of a control freak about certain things.
Audrey gave a little shrug. “It doesn’t bother me at all. I trust that he knows what he’s doing.” She smiled as she worked, lining the bottom layer of the cake with the flowers. “And I love a good surprise.”
Izzy smiled, “Well I think it’s definitely going to be that” she said, looking forward to seeing what Merlin had organised.
“I know it will be. It’s going to be magical, just you wait and see.” She finished the last row of fondant flowers, then turned the cake around on its Lazy Susan pedestal. “Well? What do you think? Is there enough purple? The bride wanted purple.”
"I think it's beautiful Audrey. Definitely the perfect amount of purple" she nodded, in awe of Audrey. Izzy would have to work very hard on the cake toppers.
“Good. All right, this is finished. I’m gonna pack it up and call the bride.” Audrey beamed. “Thanks for your help, Izzy.”
“No worries. Thanks for teaching me” Izzy replied with a grin before she skipped off to start her next job.
