Bravo! Well written and fun.

I'm glad you liked it, especially as I had my eyelids propped open with matchsticks by the end. I've promised myself I won't start on a live challenge after 2 am local time again in a hurry 
All I could think of when you described Severus' s Puffskein infestation was that scene in the original Star Trek episode "The Trouble With Tribbles" when Captain Kirk opens a storage compartment and hundreds of tribbles fall on his head, quickly burying him up past the waist.
I think I'm going to make a chocolate cake right now. I' probably will need a pair of extra hands to help me undress correctly stir the batter...

Have fun - and thanks for the review
If sorting her undies wasnt a dead give away Snape I dont know what would be! Thank goodness he finally got the hint!
Response from DawnEB (Author of Cake Mix)
I'm amazed she didn't hex him in her frustration 
Thanks for the review
How lovely and delicious! I'd never have thought of this use for cake batter ;D The puffskein invasion made me think of the Tribbles in Star Trek and the episode where a heap of them falls down on Kirk :D

Glad you liked it, and thanks 
Cake batter - use only in small quantities, and don't let it set (so I've been told)Yes, that scene from ST:TOS is the inspiration for the one in this fic - well spotted.
Oh nice job! Thanks for taking the time to post!

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it.I only just found the time to post it - at 5.30 am I was trying to locate the errant commas I needed to correct through droopping eyelids. That transatlantic time difference is a killer!
WooHoo! Love it. Adorable scenario with a hot ending.
Response from DawnEB (Author of Cake Mix)
Thank you Although Snape isn't too sure about being in anything adorable!
Hmmm I have heard of pudding, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce; but cake batter? Very cute. I wonder did she cause the puffskin breakout?
Response from DawnEB (Author of Cake Mix)
I don't see why not, if only in small amounts. I know there is usually a queue waiting to lick the residue off the bowl or spoon, and having the mess sucked off my fingers in the past would have been more... interesting if I hadn't been keeping an eye on the oven at the time Think of it as more of a one off, heat of the moment kind of thing.I didn't conciously consider how the Puffskeins came to be there but, all things considered, it would make sense if Hermione was involved in some way. Thanks for the review
Very cute. great use of the prompt. Puffskiens, how funny. Of course, being old enough to remember the first time such a thing was on TV, I remembered the tribbles falling onto Capt, Kirk's head from the overhead bin on the TV show, Star Trek. But that doesn't make this any less charming, dear. You packed a great deal of detail into a little tale. Thanks for sharing this.

I'm glad you liked it.The idea of the Puffskeins falling on Snape was, of course, inspired by that scene from 'The Trouble With Tribbles'. I mean, what else is a Puffskein?I believe I was 5 when it was first aired over here 
*wanders off singing* ♪Tribbles keep falling on my head...♪
Mmmmm, yummy cooking with Severus - not all of which takes place in the kitchen! *wiggles eyebrows*:)
Response from DawnEB (Author of Cake Mix)
Hehe, take one Snape, one Granger. Apply a little heat and a dollop or two of cake batter and see what rises...Thanks for the review
Excellently done! Poor Severus who thought that his attraction was unfounded! Did Hermione make the pests explode in his house? Might have been!
Response from DawnEB (Author of Cake Mix)
Thanks I think she just might be sneaky enough, if her mind was set on it!
That's an original use for cake batter! :)
Response from DawnEB (Author of Cake Mix)
Well, it certainly makes a change from chocolate sauce Thanks for the review
heh-heh! now why do I wonder if Hermione somehow caused that Puffskein population explosion... thank you for the laughs!
Response from DawnEB (Author of Cake Mix)
I'm glad you liked it Oh, I never considered Hermione might have had a hand in that, it almost begs another POV... almost.
zomg! From fluffy creatures to ... ohhhhh, I need to fan myself! Nice answer to the prompt. :)
Response from DawnEB (Author of Cake Mix)
Of all the things that could infest Snape's home, I felt the cute fluffy ones were the most likely to drive him out the fastest Thanks for the review
Wheeeee!
Oh, this. Is. Fantastic. I love the build up, the details about their working relationship. I gaffawed at the image of Snape drowning in fluffy creatures, and then you wound it up perfectly. Nothing like a food fight to help reveal locked away desire for both parties.
Excellent use of the prompt. *grins*
