I know how to make a square cake look like a car, said Baby Pierre. You cut strips off two of the sides and place them at the front and back. Of course they'll be a bit too wide....
Why? asked Lavender.
Maths, said Baby Pierre.
Duh, said Lavender.
So then, said Baby Pierre, you cut the bits off that are sticking out and put them on top of the cake in the middle, to make the high middle part of the car.
How do you stick the pieces together? asked Lavender. With jam?
Yes, with jam, said Baby Pierre.
Gaius and Anoctopus looked at one another in amazement at the cleverness of Lavender and Baby Pierre.
And what do you do next? prompted Gaius.
Icing! shouted Lavender.
And Smarties! cried Baby Pierre. And sprinkles!
What colour icing? asked Anoctopus.
Yellow, said Lavender. Because that's the proper colour for a car.
What a pity, said Anoctopus, that I can't pass all this valuable information back to the person who needs it.
Maybe she doesn't need it, said Gaius.
