Deltarune Halloween Prompts Day 30: Treats

---

Sure, Halloween was for treats, but this year K_K wanted to do something extra-special. It'd been a lot of work, visiting everyone in town, learning their preferences, and putting together so many wildly different combinations of ingredients and flavors, but the months' worth of effort had finally paid off!

Stepping back, they admired their cupcake creations. For Seam, their favorite shopkeeper, purple-iced dark chocolate sprinkled with shards of sugar, and dusted with powdered cinnamon. The cinnamon had gone to great use in Malius' as well, with cinnamon glaze over red cake and a cinnamon cream center.

For Swatch, a two-tone vanilla and chocolate cupcake, with even the icing split down the middle, and for Clover a three-way split with bonus raspberry flavor, a culinary achievement K_K was especially proud of!

Queen's preferences were...peculiar, something every citizen of Cyber World knew well, and so for her he'd gotten a little creative, with green-dyed yellow cake and spicy corn chip crumbles mixed into the icing. Lancer also proved to have similar tastes to his "girldad," and so K_K instead made him a blueberry muffin with a pit of salsa hidden inside, as well as a second for himself to see if that combination was actually as horrible as it sounded. Thankfully his father proved to be a little more reasonable, and for him K_K prepared just a plain white cake made with almond flour, with cashew bits sprinkled over the icing.

For Prince Ralsei, a vanilla-iced chocolate cupcake, fitting his strangely upside-down nature, with extra sprinkles. And K_K hadn't forgotten the Lightners either, with a cherry-filled cupcake for Susie that even had blood-red icing, and chocolate-iced chocolate cake with chocolate cream in the middle, chocolate sprinkles on top, and dusted with chocolate cookie bits for Kris. Shockingly, Rouxls seemed to like chocolate almost as much as the human, which K_K got to have a little fun with, making the icing resemble dirt for a few sour gummy worms to reside in.

Finally, there were a couple more that Kris requested for friends of theirs that K_K had never met, but they could get a sense from how they spoke about them: one devil's food with more sprinkles than they'd ever used on a single cupcake before, the other a simple lemon cake with a couple of coins stuck into the icing, for some reason.

But the most special of all were the two K_K made for Sweet and Cap'n. Sweet got a warm vanilla cake with pumpkin spice icing and a little caramel drizzled on top, while Cap'n's was chocolate and strawberry icing, with a little of the fruit baked inside and one slice they'd saved to adorn the very top. Those two stood out among all the rest that K_K had prepared for Castle Town as masterpieces, ones that they couldn't wait to show off!

"You READ MY FUCKING POETRY??!" Oh, there they were already! Smiling, K_K turned to see Sweet running into the kitchen, ready to show them their cupcake at last, but they seemed to be in quite a hurry for some reason.

To K_K's horror, in his rush Sweet suddenly tripped over his own feet, going flying face-first right into the counter...and into the two cupcakes K_K had made for him and Cap'n.

"SWEET COME BACK HERE--Oh. Oh no." Cap'n stopped in his tracks, taking in the scene, with Sweet wiping off the caramel and icing and strawberries from his speaker, dazed, and K_K standing there, silent, tears in their eyes. "Hey, uh...those weren't nothin' important, right? It looks like you got plenty of others!"

K_K just ran from the room, wailing, and Cap'n's soul sunk.
