Planetary Donuts
Valentine's Day doughnuts from Erice Utsumi (Avenger).
A prize for passing an archaeology pop quiz, rewarding her Master's excellent score. Erice pored over a dessert cookbook while making these. She insists that this is a perfectly valid Valentine's Day gift, since it includes chocolate-frosted doughnuts.
"I'm sure you can tell... I think it's clear enough... The motif is stars and planets. And a life preserver, obviously. Oh, I'm really proud of this one, though the jelly filling spilled out a little. Voyager discovered volcanic activity on a type of satellite during a flyby. That's why I tried to make the frosting look like lava. Yeah."
