Thank you for calling. Unfortunately, I am unable to answer your call at this moment. Please, leave your name and a message and I shall reach out promptly.
I would, yes! If that's alright. I have a feeling you'll be making it by hand, knowing you. And, this will perhaps be a strange request, but when it comes to the flavor of the cake... my I ask for ube? It's something I've never had the chance to taste before dying, but it's quickly soared to the spot of my favorite. My favorite anything. I'll even eat it roasted and plain.
[Honestly, you could literally bribe him with ube sweets, and he's guaranteed to say yes nearly every time.]
At the very least, the purple color will lend nicely to the theme, I feel. Perhaps a black icing with red and gold details? With the bright violet inside of it as almost something of a surprise.
Of course it is and I will make it myself. And yes. It can be ube flavored. Purple yams, if I remember correctly. And it would go quite well with the theme.
And I will remember your favoritism for ubes. For future use.
Not quite yams, I've learned. The taste is similar enough, I will happily accept yams if ube's in short supply, of course. But from what I've learned, they're actually a relative of things such as taro. Something else I've grown to enjoy, but not quite as much as ube; taro's a bit nuttier, while ube's flavor leans toward something more custard-like.
[Jokes on Lycaon, Louis's botanical knowledge mostly covers flowers - To him, "yam" and "sweet potato" are the same thing. And, y'know. Ubes aren't sweet potatoes. So they must not be yams either, right?
...
Right? (They are, in fact, yams.)]
Future surprises. Hmmm. In that case, I suppose, for no reason at all, I'll mention that I enjoy it most in ice cream and cake rolls. And that it makes a wonderful flavoring for a sweet congee when one's under the weather.
