Scotty surveyed his creation with a proud wag of his tail. The waffles, still humming a faint, cheerful tune, stood stacked precariously high, a wobbly tower of sugary song. He’d managed to get them to sing *just* the right note this time, a happy little hum that tickled his ears. Carefully, using a delicate drizzle spell, he coaxed the shimmering, jewel-toned Berry Burst Juice from its bottle. It flowed like liquid rubies, cascading down the sides of the waffle tower, each drop landing with a tiny *plink* that echoed the waffles’ melody.

Then came the Cloud Cream. It was the fluffiest, puffiest cream he’d ever conjured, light as a daydream and twice as white. He’d learned to whip it just so, with a gentle swirl of his paw and a whispered incantation that spoke of soft pillows and sleepy sighs.
