Part 2

This is a photo that was taken on my birthday… The skating staff went out of their way to prepare a 3D cake for me.

Whoa, what is this!? A cake…in the shape of your face…!?

It’s a faithful recreation, isn’t it? It had impact, and I could really feel the love from the staff. I remember being very happy.

A 3D Shumai cake… Yeah, that sounds awesome!

This cake was made with whipped cream, but if we’re making it for a dog, we can substitute it with mashed potatoes.

I bet we could recreate Shumai’s fluffiness with mashed potatoes.

…Yukikaze! I’m gonna try making a Shumai cake. So, um, if you don’t mind…

Of course. For my cute little brother and Shumai, I’d be happy to help.

Thanks…!

—It’s done!

What do ya think!? The whole thing is made of mashed potatoes, the eyes and mouth are black sesame seeds, and I used pureed green peas for the pompom!

It’s wonderful, my little brother. No matter how you look at it, it’s Shumai.

Right…?! I think I really captured Shumai’s cuteness!

I think the shape of his tail is especially adorable.

That’s not his tail, that’s his front paw…!

! Is that so? Sorry.

(Then what exactly is this part I thought was the front paw…)

Oh? It’s Yuki-nii and Renga-kun. That’s rare, are you two cooking?

Ah, Chief! Good timing! Can you tell what shape this cake’s supposed to be?

Huh?

(It’s pure white, the surface is a bit lumpy, and parts of it are green and black…)

Um…

Is it…the Matterhorn…?

Matter, horn… What’s that?

It’s a mountain in Europe.

That’s not even an animal anymore!

…Wafu?

Ah, Shumai!

Wafuwafu! Wafuu! Wafuwafun!

Are you curious about the cake Renga-kun’s holding?

*Gasp* Shumai!

Th-That movement…!!

Wafuwafu, wafuuuuuuuun!!

Shumai just did a quintuple axel!? He’s leveled up since that one birthday!

Shumai, you understood! You knew this cake was for you…!

Wafun ♪

Yukikaze helped me make this, so I know it’s definitely gonna taste super yummy!

Let’s all have a party together around this cake, Shumai!
