Miraculous Confections II

[soc_puppet]

For our Zodiac Miraculous Users!

Vipereon: He's had a lot of suggestions so far!
ghostlyhamburger's husband suggests lime and blueberry; she herself linked me to honeyberries, which I'm absolutely stealing for a Chloe ice cream flavor
chanter1944 said, "Honey pistachio cookies, more the latter flavor than the former, possibly with a hint of cocoa mixed into the dough. Subtle rather than overpowering."
norakwami said "Cornflowers for Viperion somehow; mildly grassy flavor, mostly for color; might work with matcha"
I thought pear, because Vipeareon, but still want something blue in there, and feel like pear alone isn't quite enough. I certainly have a good number of suggestions to work with!

Ryuuko:
ghostlyhamburger suggests: Red velvet flavor with black cream cheese and edible gold dust, then went on to say that Ryuuko might need dragonfruit (Me: YES)
norakwami suggested adzuki as a Ladybug alternative, and I'm thinking maybe for Ryuuko instead; they went on to suggest prickly pear as a possibility

Roi Singe:
ghostlyhamburger says: Roi Singe would be perfect for milk chocolate and banana
I was thinking cinnamon, since it's nice and spicy and brown
Banana is also a common egg replacer in baking, which would make it a good alternative for folks who have allergies/intolerances
sweetmeatdale suggested coffeecake, which I feel is fairly similar to cinnamon already, or to snickerdoodles (which has an extra element of accuracy, since traditionally snickerdoodle cookies have been made with "whatever leftover cookie dough we have after everything else has been baked", IIRC, and Roi Singe's powers are all about unpredictability)

Multimouse:
Sakura (cherry blossom) flavor dough (per norakwami) with oreo pieces and crumbs (per ghostlyhamburger); made for Cat Noir after he pestered Marinette for some in the middle of the night (fic forthcoming) by request
EDIT: incredibleflan has pointed out that plum blossoms are also used in cooking, and are the national flower of China to boot, so I've switched over to them instead. norakwami keeps credit for inspiring the use of tree/fruit flowers in the cookies.

Bunnyx:
Heirloom blue carrotcake cookies with cream cheese icing

Pegase:
ghostlyhamburger says, "Oats because horse?"
Possibly oatmeal and shredded coconut with a dark cocoa dough and maybe chocolate chips

Forthcoming tiger hero:
norakwami suggests prickly pear would also work for this one, on account of coloring
I was thinking blackberry or mulberry

Forthcoming boar hero:
Something with truffle pieces

Forthcoming ox hero:
Something with emphasis on dairy?

Forthcoming rooster hero:
Egg custard cookies; maybe a thumbprint of some variety?

Forthcoming dog hero:
Gotta have peanut butter or some other nut butter; no chocolate
chanter1944 reminded me: No grapes or raisins, either

Forthcoming ram/goat/sheep hero:
I have absolutely no clue what-so-ever; maybe some sort of "junk" cookie, with a lot of random elements thrown in, as a reference to goats being "browsers"? Like monster cookies, but other ingredients

potentially useless trivia time: honeysuckle = goat leaf

Re forthcoming canon dog hero: No raisins/grapes in their cookie either, please? You may already know this, but those are a known toxicity for dogs.

Re Pegase: My mind went to Max Kanté as much as his alter ego here, jumped to things like ginger, sorrel and lavender, and then I realized I was getting into tea blend territory. Whoops! :P I also wonder if a little edible gold dust might not suit his cookies as well, both to nod to the bright splashes of color in his costume and to the fact that he really is brilliant.

Re forthcoming ox hero: Candied violets, maybe? Someone said the ox kwami is purple in canon, which is where this idea came from.

Re forthcoming goat hero: Cream cheese as an element, maybe, as a nod to goat cheese? I know that's a reach.

[soc_puppet]

Oh right, thanks for the reminder re: grapes! I'll get it in immediately.

Re gold dust: Gold luster dust might work well for both him and Ryuuko; I'm shying away from adding actual gold to anything, but you just reminded me that there are substitute options 😉

I see the ox as kinda blue-periwinkle? We don't exactly have a lot of image references to go on with a lot of these kwamis, though. I wonder if periwinkle flowers are edible...

Cream cheese is definitely worth contemplating, thank you!

Re kwami colorations: I'm going entirely off of what people have said in comments or fics, so may be entirely wrong. Add my alterna-kwami series in here, and you just bet I've confused myself at least once! Edible silver dust for the ox what now? XD I keep forgetting that the canon dragon is not bronze, and that the canon monkey is not [fic spoiler!] :P

Re the canon ox, specifically: Candied violets?

Re Bunnyx: Her specific cookies sound *fabulous*. It's a good thing I'm not hungry just now! XD

I've got a recipe for scraggly breakfast muffins I make with oats, shredded carrot, mashed banana, dried cranberries, et cetera. Looks craggly, tastes good but healthy. Those goat thoughts brought it to mind...

[alexseanchai]

oooo

I also have a recipe for breakfast cookies. It involves cheddar, wheat germ, and crumbled bacon. (From pig if the entire batch is going to vanish or be refrigerated in the first couple hours; otherwise shelf-stable bacon substitute, which probably means soy.)

—oh hey I didn't see the "monster cookies" bit earlier. I have Mom's recipe for those, too. Peanut butter, M&Ms, oats, et cetera; not flour, though, if the ingredients and equipment are gluten-free then the cookies will be. She ain't kidding about doing one-third of a recipe at a time.

of course now I want those breakfast cookies
