Valentine Cupcakes gone horribly wonderfully wrong

[sirhugs]

The baker decides to put a few drops of love potion in the batch intended for his/her objet d'amour, being too shy to proclaim his/her love aloud.

Unfortunately, (s)he accidentally dumps the bottle in the batch for sale to the public/intended for the school bake sale/ being brought to the family party.

the increased dosage just knocks out kids and gives them dreams of kittens, but in adults, it leads to all sorts of inappropriate sex...

I like this idea quite a bit. I would suggest making it so the person the lead is pursuing isn't there. So our baker lead leaves the cupcake out for anyone to take, thinking one of the already happy couples will take it. Our lead decides to leave whatever function they were attending when a friend invites him/her upstairs to talk. At first it's just a conversation to get them feeling better, then one about how they need to look elsewhere, then that what they really want is right in front of him/her...lead is shocked but flattered but wants a moment to freshen up. Steps out, sees the party is becoming an orgy, realizes what is happening, eats a cupcake so she/he's on even ground, and then heads back in. Maybe the lead ends up in a relationship with the friend or maybe they decide that a night of no inhibitions with a group of their friends and acquaintances was just what they needed.

Love the idea. Why don't you make it a wedding cake instead of a bake sale. That way most underage participants are cut out. You can work in a granny who doesn't eat cake but is alert enough to see something is wrong with the adults, to take any remaining children out of the story.

The object d'amour and the lead have the beginning of their convo as Strangebuddy suggests but the hero sees that s/he has had his/her cake. The second character starts coming onto the lead. And after the hero eats his/her cake discovers many things about his love. One of them being a sex scene with wanton lust, totally uninhibited. Something the protagonist isn't used to.

He feels terrible about the orgy happening and tries to separate some people who shouldn't be having sex. Perhaps the bride is riding her new father in law. He succeeds once. But the next couple won't be separated and he's in the middle of his first threesome.

Then he finds his original lover in a same sex situation, something he's very uncomfortable with, he decides the hell with it and eats more cake.

Then he has his first gay experience.

(And we can go on and on, as long as the lube lasts..... Haha)

Admittedly, the underage part is't hard to solve. A trusted teen or adult gets told to go take the kids to another room/house and babysit them. When that person shows reluctance, the adults empty out their wallets and bribe them.

Or you could make it an office mixer so everyone would be over 18

Or, even if it's a bake sale, you simply never write about any children at all. Case closed.

 

[Strangebuddy]

True. Admittedly, it should be a situation where the person knows their crush will be and, if the person is going to be there, they could just be given the pastry without questions aske. So an office mixer would be good, wedding reception, PTA meeting, etc.

Ooh! Had a fun idea: what if the crush is holding a party or business meeting at a Panera? The lead is a baker there and makes the pastries for the meeting? Only problem is, not only does the whole potion get dumped into the batch, the pastries get sold to all the customers, so the wild times aren't just limited to the VIP room

Maybe a work around to the underage situation is the kiddies grab platefuls of snacks cupcakes included and head down to the playroom in the basement. Of course they are soon knocked out and dreaming of kittens.

They adults of the family gathering soon to party and eat the food with the fancy cupcakes being one of the more popular items.

I'm uncertain why the location of the children is vital once it's established it knocks em out. I mean unless it knock knocks em out like tranquilizer darts they will likely gravitate towards some comfortable available location because that's simply what people do. The adults on the other hand will naturally gravitate away from that location with no further needed action.

Additionally the kids are unconscious. I'm fairly certain it wouldn't violate any rule even if they were in the house. Granted you can never predict with 100% certainty what will or won't cross the mods as distasteful but the children are in no way involved.

My temporary snag here is how do you accidentally dump an entire bottle into cupcakes and not at least attempt to unfuck the scenario. I mean at that stage I'd probably just abort and make a fresh batch. By contrast I think a similar setting just with someone spiking the punch is better. They get bumped, drop the bottle or spill it all and it's a party. If someone spotted them they might just shrug and if they didn't well people could be into it before he even thinks up a way to get rid of an entire bowl of punch.

Maybe someone comes down with a case of "I'M HELPING!" and messes things up. If our leadi is a baker, they have an assistant. The assistant is asked to make the rest of the cupcakes. Baker doesn't know that she saw the potion being added. Assistant figures it's a secret ingredient and adds the amount necessary for the rest of the cupcakes. Baker has no idea and thanks assistant for helping out
