smk_network The rose blossom popped open, producing a gorgeous bloom and Crowley glared at it disapprovingly.
"Not yet! June I said! You're all meant to be blooming your brightest in June... It doesn't mean a thing if you do it early."
The rose dutifully folded back up to conserve it's strength for June as Crowley looked back towards the mound of cupcakes he had sitting on a table in his temporary workspace out in the castle training gardens. This sort of work couldn't be done inside... not when you were going as big and as flashy as he was. With a snap of his fingers the cupcakes turned into a much larger golden clad pillar of a cake.
"Hm, might be too much 'golden throne'.'
He tried again and this time the cake was even larger with so many spires and decorations it almost looked more like a model than a cake.
"That's very 'cathedral'." Crowley frowned and tilted his head at some of the decorations, "Not sure about the little cherubs. I mean once you've met one they lose their charm... More modern maybe."
Crowley snapped his fingers again and this cake looked like it had flying flowers cascading their way around the center cake.
"Should it be all white? Nothing says a wedding cake had to be all white. I could add a touch of spice!"
And once again the cake transformed. This time into something black and red with a touch of angel. As he stood back admiring his work Crowley caught sight of a flash of light. His mirror was sitting out on the table and had apparently been capturing the whole display. His frown deepened instantly as he rolled his head in dramatic fashion but collected the mirror to do a touch of damage control.
"So I'm looking for a cake design, it's no big deal. I had thought it would be secret but... since it's not. Lydia, up for a job in June?"

The other plans have to do with not working at a candy store for the rest of my eternals.

I'll have to make up a list some time and swing round to drop it off.
