The Vampire Parenting Diaries

Ulea didn't take the fact that she suddenly had an extra birthday to heart. The child was full of his studies and all kinds of new things in his heart, and he put this conversation behind him after a while, and naturally he didn't pay attention to it. Erphons' thoughtful look when he was chatting.

Of course, even if he paid attention, he probably wouldn't be able to understand it.

Combining old Evan's suggestion and the results he found online, Elphin finally decided to hold a small birthday party for Uriah at home.

Similar birthday experiences did not exist in his memory, and even the exact date of birth was blurred due to too long a time, and the ancestor of the blood race did not need to celebrate his birthday.But he still attended the banquet.For a period of time, when the power of the vampire was at its peak, he was invited to a few carnivals every night on average. Being favored by His Royal Highness was the most honorable experience, no matter whether it was a nobleman or an ordinary vampire.

But Elphins doesn't like too crowded occasions. No matter what the purpose of the blood race banquet is, there will always be some prey who are tricked in, and eventually it will turn into an indiscriminate bloodthirsty feast. The bloody vampire almost lost the ability to think. He forgot to be in awe and didn’t remember who was who. He even dared to invite him to a feast of filth. Do not accept any invitations.

He didn't plan to make Uriah's birthday party a big one, and it would be best to have only three participants, one him, one old Evan, and Uriah himself.That's enough.

After confirming, he searched for what human beings need for their birthdays.

The browser gave him the results - cake, a big meal, birthday presents.

The specific process is: create a surprise first, make or order a big meal by yourself, invite friends and family to the banquet, give gifts, eat, make a wish, blow out the candles, and finally eat the cake.

Inviting friends and family was selectively ignored by Elphin, and his eyes were mainly on the others.

It is very simple to order the food that Uriah likes. Children are not picky eaters, but they also have certain preferences. Old Evan can make reservations in advance.

Cakes don't need to worry about either.The cake shop in the city... He was just about to check which is the best cake shop in the city, when he suddenly noticed a line of words under "eat cake" on the webpage - "It would be better if the cake was made by the family .”

"Do it yourself"?

Elphons was stunned for a moment.

During this year, because of Ulea, he learned about the variety of cake from the desserts that children often eat. people feel happy.It can be used as a dessert after a meal, or as a reward for children.

Uriah loves to eat cakes.

But his understanding of cakes does not stop there. The most recent contact with this object was that Uriah wanted to share a piece of cake with him, and let him take a bite while feeding it. Under pressure, he had to take a small sip.Of course he won’t feel anything, human food is not good for him, even his sense of taste has lost its effect, the final destination of that cake is the trash can in the bathroom.

What made him feel sweet was Uriah's smile after seeing him actually eat it, which was lively and cute, making the strange food that slipped down the throat less difficult to swallow.After eating, he tried to raise the corners of his lips, and returned a smile to Uriah.

Before that, for Elphins, the only function of cake was probably to make children happy.As for how this kind of thing is made, it has nothing to do with him.

But now the search results show that if you make cakes for your relatives/friends yourself, it will make them happier.He thought of Uriah's smile when she ate the cake, and suddenly felt that it would be good to have a relationship.

His Royal Highness is not a person who does not do it without preparation. He first searched for some cake-making information, and after confirming that the job does not seem too difficult, he decided to make a cake himself and give it to Ulea.For this reason, I also gave up the trip to school in the morning.

After learning of this decision, it took his loyal servant 30 seconds to realize that this was not a cold joke made by His Highness on a whim, but the truth.

Elphons told old Evan what he had found, and emphasized the phrase "a cake made by oneself will make the other party happy".

Old Evan was silent for a while, then raised his smiling face again: "Your Highness is right, I'll go get ready."

But this skill is not as simple as he imagined after all.After ruining the eighth cake in a row and messing up the room and clothes, Elphons held the crystal bowl and watched the video that was playing, but still couldn't understand why he failed.

In order to make the cake, he asked old Evan to purchase a batch of materials and utensils needed.Lockwood Manor originally didn't have a kitchen, but there were many spare rooms. He picked one at random and started his own cake making project.

However, the imagination was beautiful, but the reality was far more than that. As soon as he took a step, he was ruthlessly pinned in place, without even a chance to struggle.

The super learning ability of the ancestor of the blood race seemed to be taken back at this moment. He clearly followed the video in the data every step. Both the butter and the cream are perfectly made, and he even learned to spell a bunny with fruit without a teacher, but the final product is always unsatisfactory.

Without him, the project of milking the cream is really difficult.Ulea likes flowers, he wants to make a beautiful little flower like in the video, but he always fails, the things in his hands are dead objects, and he can't be controlled without spirit, so naturally he can't do things according to his ideas. Watch out, you ruined the whole cake.

The crooked texture in front of him really challenged Elphin's aesthetics. He pushed it aside out of sight and out of mind, and it was reprocessed by the old Evan as an "afternoon tea" for receiving visitors.

"Don't worry, Your Highness," said old Evan, standing one meter behind him, and said, "You are just a beginner, it's normal if you can't handle it well, and you still have a few days for you to practice, I believe you will OK."

Elphons glanced at him, and old Evan closed his mouth wisely.

Withdrawing his gaze, Elphin cut another plate of baked bread embryos into circles, put one piece on the plate, then spread a layer of cream and thinly sliced ​​fruit, and then placed the second layer of bread.

Ulea likes sweet food, and the types are not very fine, so it gives him a lot of room to play.He used two layers of bread, and then spread butter on the bread embryo, a thick layer, and smoothed it out according to the steps, and then placed fruit and curdled chocolate.Chocolate is what he learned from the video. The purchased finished product is first melted and then put into a mold to solidify into the desired shape. Various shapes are available.He made Uriah's name out of chocolate and stuck it upright next to the fruit.

Up to this point, everything went smoothly. Elphin slammed the cream into the piping bag, raised his hand to make a rough gesture, watched the video again, and then started with difficulty.

Carefully extruding a small ball, without causing displacement due to excessive force, he heaved a sigh of relief, changed to a piping bag, and started to make petals.

Having learned from previous experiences, he was no longer so impatient this time, calmed down, and made petals one by one. When the last piece appeared on the cake completely, Elphons really felt a full sense of accomplishment.

Old Evan watched from the sidelines, and at this time, he also praised sincerely: "Your Highness has done a good job, Ulea will be very happy to see it."

A soft look appeared in Elphins' eyes, and he squeezed two more balls next to the flowers, learned how to pick and choose with things in the video, and made a dumb little white rabbit.

He wrote "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" in pretty cursive on top of the cake with melted unused chocolate and it was finally done.

My own work is always different from others, Elphinsi looked at the cake he made by himself, and nodded with satisfaction.He has already mastered the technique, and on Ulea's birthday, he can make one that is exactly the same or even better.

Then he left the makeshift kitchen with half of the cream.

In the past few days, when His Highness the Prince appeared, he always had a sweet and creamy taste. Many visiting vampires thought that His Highness had suddenly changed his diet, became interested in human food, and had a soft spot for sweets.They knew little about the daily life and physiological structure of their ancestors, and they thought that the other party had already overcome the biggest difference between humans and blood races and realized food sharing.So in order to please His Highness, all kinds of desserts were sent one after another.

Elphins responded by offering them afternoon tea of ​​his failure.

In the past, when I came to Lockwood Manor, I stood the whole time and did not dare to raise my head and said nothing. I also had to endure the pain of watching His Royal Highness eat but could not drink anything. Finally, I was allowed to sit down and provided afternoon tea. The visitors were grateful and thanked His Royal Highness. My highest respect for your wisdom.

This respect instantly turned back to awe when he saw the cake in front of him.

They were bleeding in their hearts, but they still kept smiling on the surface. They ate the afternoon tea generously presented by His Royal Highness the Prince one bite at a time.Sweet torture is also torture.

Since Lockwood Manor began to provide afternoon tea, the number of visiting guests has dropped by at least [-]%.

Elphons was quite satisfied with the result, and announced two days in advance that he would not accept visitors on the [-]th, and then closed the gate of the manor, and began formal preparations for Uriah's birthday.
