Kath liked the cakes and so did Shawn. It was also a good sign that neither of them had keeled over just yet Kath would not want to be responsible for Shawn's death or anyones death for that matter. "Sure is" there were plenty of things that they could use to decorate the cake but Kath what they would use.
"Icing sounds like a good start and im not sure which colour, didn't we agree on loads of different colours?" Kath would be happy to settle for whatever colour Shawn wanted as she liked all colours "Maybe you could choose a colour though, to make it easier" multi coloured would probably take to much time to make all the different icings.

"Yea, I guess we did," Shawn said, nodding his head and wondering which color they should start with. There were so manyy, it was going to take forever to do them all. And then Kath suggested just doing one color, at least he thought that was what she was suggesting. "Okay then, so we can do um.. uhh.." He tilted his head and scrunched up his nose, for this still meant that he needed to decide on a color. "Does pink work for you?" he asked, remember that she said that she liked pink. Or was that him?
Shrugging, he scooped the white icing into a bowl and then added a little bit of red food coloring to it, turning it pink. He figured if Kath didn't want pink cakes he could just turn this icing a different color. Or maybe just eat it, since they had lots more white icing that they could use.

"Pink is fine" Kath had never been much of a pink liker till this past year of her life. The cakes would look yummy any colour but pink was a nice colour so that would help to make the cakes look all that much more appealing. Kath watched as Shawn added a little bit of red food colouring into the white icing. Kath would have never thought of using a little bit of red when there was no pink food colouring around.
Kath often ended up making biscuits that were purple in colour and her family would never eat them because they weren't normal biscuit colour. After a little bit of stirring by Shawn the red was begging to mix in and the icing was slowly starting to turn a pink colour. The icing was looking nice now but Kath was sure it would look even nicer on top of the beautiful cakes the both of them had just baked.

"Mmkayy, if you want to do some a different color, just tell me," Shawn said when she told him that pink was fine. Fine didn't sound too enthusiastic, buuut he figured she'd tell him if she didn't like pink. Pink was a perfectly nice color, so there was no reason why she shouldn't.
After the icing was all evenly pink and pretty looking, Shawn picked up the knives and handed one to Kath. "They're all ready to be iced now, rightt?" he asked, hoping he hadn't forgotten to do something important. While he waited for an answer, since he didn't want to start in case he did forget something, he tapped the knife on the counter and ate some more icing out of the bowl.

"Pink is cool" Kath was sure that all the cakes would look yummy in their bright pink icing even better than white icing. Kath was glad that Shawn had chosen one of her favorite colours even though she loved all colours and would have been happy with any one of them.
Kath nodded "Yeah they are" Kath wasn't the best icer in the world so they would probably look quite messy but that made it fun "Thank you" she smiled and took one of the knifes from Shawn. Dipping it into the icing she scrapped some out and began to spread it onto the cake. So far it was going ok but this was only the first cake that she had attempted to ice, there were plenty more to go even if she was splitting the amount of icing with Shawn.

"Wohoo!" Shawn squeaked excitedly as she told them they were finally ready, even though he had already guessed that they were. He let her get some icing before dunking his own knife in and scooping a bunch out, putting it on the cake and spreading it around. He did a messy job, but it ended up looking okay. You couldn't really mess up icing a cake that bad, and it'd taste yummy no matter how it came out looking.
He hummed to himself as he spread the icing on the first cake cake, finishing that one and then starting on another one.

Putting her freshly iced cake down on the counter Kath picked up another one of the cakes and took some pink icing from the bowl and started to gently wipe the icing onto the top of it. She was being a little more careful than last time because she had manged to get more icing every where else than she did on the little cake.
Realizing that she didn't have enough Kath scooped a little more from the bowl and added it on top of the icing that she had already put on. Using her knife she gently wiped it in again. Putting down her second cake she looked up briefly to speak to Shawn "Your doing a good job" both of their icing was messy but Shawn had certain done a better job than Kath had. Kath contemplated adding sprinkles or something to the cakes that they had already iced but they could do that later.

"Thank you! So are you," Shawn said smiling and nodding his head, looking over at Kath's cakes and clapping his hands. He couldn't waaait to eat them, they looked so good. Most of the time he made cookies, so having cake was a nice change. He couldn't remember the last time he'd actually made a cake and had the patience to put icing on before he ate it.
As he finished his second cake, he sat it aside and pulled another one in fton of him, licking some icing off of his finger before starting on that one. He did a few more, each one getting progressivly better as he figured out how to do it right.

"Thanks" icing cakes was quite hard for Kath even though she enjoyed to bake. She baked occasionally but it still hadn't improved her cooking and decorating skills. She could make biscuits alright but with cakes she needed a little bit of help with the measurements and such.
Attempting to make her cake neat Kath scrapped around the edges with the knife in an attempt to get rid of any bits of icing that may have dripped in the process of icing. Surely there were a few but it was nothing special so Kath just got rid of those little bits. Before icing her cake she went over to the fridge and got herself some more orange juice "Would you like some more orange juice?" She asked Shawn hoping that she didn't disturb his concentration.

Shawn was in fact concentrating very hard, for probably the first time in his life. Well, not the first time, but it was a rare occurrence. Anyways, because of this he only heard what Kath said, not really getting what she was saying until a minute later. "Oh um, yes please!" he squeaked quickly, looking over at her and nodding his head in case she hadn't caught that. "Delayed reactionn.."
While he waited for Kath to come back he finished icing the cake he had been working diligently on, and then decided that his poor hands needed a break. They were close to being done anyway. "They look pretty amazing, huh?" he said, giggling lightly as he licked some stray icing off of his hand.. and his arm. He didn't know how it had got all the way up there, but it wasn't much of a surprise.

"Ok" Kath laughed as she poured Shawn a glass of orange juice and then poured herself one. Shawn seemed to be really getting into this cake decorating which impressed Kath because people often got bored and gave up half way through and only managed to decorate a couple of cakes. "Here you go" She rested down the glass of juice next to Shawn but she made sure it was out of the way so he had room to still decorate the cakes. Walking around to her space Kath rested down her orange juice on the counter.
Kath nodded "Yeah they look really nice" Pink certainly was the right choice of colour and the great team work between Shawn and Kath made them look even better. After drinking a bit of orange juice Kath picked up knife again, scraped some icing from the bowl and continued to ice another cake. There were only a few left so they would soon be done and then they could add the extra decorations like sprinkles.

"Thank you very much!" Shawn said happily, picking up the cup after he was done cleaning the icing off of his hands. He took a sip and watched as she started icing some more, putting his cup down soon after to help, since the faster they could do it the faster they could eat them. Grinning, he scooped up a big glob of icing and flopped it onto the cake, spreading it around and putting the extra onto his next cake.
When he was finished his last one he heaved a great sigh, looking at all the cakes that they had icing-ed and clapping his hands. He was glad they had done them all, because it would definitely be worth it when they got around to eating them. "Soo, do you want to add some sprinles and stuff now? Some pretty rainbow ones would look nice.." He smiled and nodded his head, looking through their pile of stuff and taking out a jar of rainbow sprikles.

"No worries" Kath said as she continued to ice the cake. There was one more left for her to do as Shawn had finished his share of cakes. Finishing off her current cake Kath picked up the last cake and added some icing to it. Using the knife she spread the icing around the top of the cake until it was relatively flat.
Putting it with the others Kath smiled at how nice and tasty they looked. Pink was certainly a good choice of colour and rainbow sprinkles would look even better. Drinking some orange juice before she spoke Kath eyed Shawn as he shifted through the box and picked out the pot of rainbow sprinkles "Go ahead" She told him as she continued to drink her orange juice.

"Yaay!" Shawn squeaked, opening up the sprinkles and pouring some on. He dumped a little to much onto the first cake, so he scrunched up his nose and tried to dump the extra from that cake onto another one. It worked out okay, though he made a little bit of a mess and it didn't look as nice as it could have. Oh well, he'd get it next time.
Before he tried again, he sat down the container and picked up his orange juice. He took a sip, which turned into two, which turned into drinking the rest of his cup before going back to his work. Sighing, he picked up the sprinkles again and tilted the jar only a little bit, tapping the side so they would come out a little at the time. That cake turned out much better than the previous two. "They're lookin' good," he said happily, smiling at Kath.

Kath couldn't help but laugh as Shawn dumped the extra sprinkles onto the other cakes. Some went onto the counter but it made it look nice because the rainbow sprinkles on the black counter top looked really good, but probably only Kath could think like that. She had a weird and wonderful mind. Drinking some of her orange juice Kath lent forward on the bench as she watched Shawn put sprinkles on the rest of the cakes.
"Yeah they look really good" She told him, a smile on her face. It was true that the cakes looked yummy and especially with the sprinkles. Drinking some more of her orange juice Kath continued to lean on the counter and continued to watch Shawn put sprinkles on the cakes. Now the were finished with the icing Kath took the knifes and washed them at the sink while Shawn finished.
