CAKE-love it!
Trav, you really are the one with all the ideas. Tiny Speck should hire you. It would be fun to make a cake as per your directions above. THEN, we could maybe
1) learn decorating skill to personalize it like with the notes
2) gift it to others for special occasions
3) donate it to get favor from giants
4) smush it in others faces for decrease in mood for them
5) eat it to give ourselves increase in mood
Nah... I'm the type of office worker who gradually swaps the coffee with decaf, then changes it back when everyone is fully weaned off the caffeine. I also rearrange road signs and steal left shoes.
Not sure if I like sugar as something to grow in the garden or as a tree in a special tropical area. I really like the potential sugar has for expanding the world without making too many changes. Could lead to a whole new set of cooking (Baking skill anyone?) and a whole fun dynamic... cookies and cakes for a friend who is feeling blue, or for a party! Oh the birthday parties we'll have :D
... course I'd actually like tables to set stuff ON too... the the shelves in the Tower give me hope those will be along 'soon'
Maybe sugar can just be added as a converted spice. When I think of tropical fruits I think of pineapple, mango, papaya, etc. which are already in the conversion charts of cherries. They could be grown but it already seems weird to have piggies plop out seeds. Would you really want to make a birthday cake with that?
Dunno.... coffee processed by a small mongoose type animal seems to sell for a pretty penny :D
Converted spice seems like a good solution too, the big detractor for wanting a cane tree/plant is the fear of kicking off yet another tree-testing cycle.
With sugar we could also make confectionary, (a new skill)
For example mints for curing that garlic breath lol.
Love the idea of making party cakes and cookies too.
