Toya
...so I've asked an older student from school to taste test for me. He'll be coming over later today.
Toya
I'd like to follow the procedure described in the recipe as closely as we can. However, when I tried it out yesterday, there were several places where I got stuck...

Toya
Well, when they came out of the oven, they didn't quite rise the way they appeared in the recipe.
Miku
<It felt like paste...? Actually, MEIKO did seem to mention something about getting a chiffon cupcake to rise being very important.>
Miku
<Yes. Apparently, these sorts of sweets rise differently based on how their batter is mixed.>

<You have a tendency to be too careful or follow instructions too strictly. So, why not mix it only a little bit for this batch?>

Miku
<I don't think it's a matter of how many times you mix it. You can still mix it fairly vigorously.>
Miku
<I think that's up to the individual baker. I mean, everyone puts in different amounts of sugar into their coffee, no?>
Miku
<So, it should be okay to put in a little more baking power if you want them to really rise.>
Miku
<Actually, this recipe suggests a few additional options... Do you plan on trying any of these?>
Toya
Yes, I was planning to once I got the hang of baking. I even bought some of those ingredients...
Miku
<Then, let's try putting those in.
You may never get to use them if you wait until you “get the hang of things”.>

(I am a little worried about going with an alternate option right off the bat... At the same time, I won't learn unless I try.)

The truth is, I never really saw Toya smile all that much back then. He always seemed preoccupied...
Tsukasa
He's changed quite a bit since then, but as an older brother figure, I'd like to see him smile more.
Tsukasa
So, I'd like to prepare a party for him with such spectacular dishes that he won't have any choice but to enjoy himself!

(Toya had such a serious look on his face... Probably because he wants the recipient of his gift to really enjoy what he made.)
