Haha, this was so cute and sweet, balanced with just the perfect amount of humor. I loved everyone's characterizations, and being a fan of Austria's, I can honestly say that you did him justice. Awesome job with this!

Thank you so much! I'm always leery about writing for characters I'm not as fond of as other, so I always work myself into a tizzy over it. The fact that an honest-to-goodness Austria fan has given me the OK does my weary soul good. <3~

Oh man, a croquembouche is just so hard to make, I can't blame Roderich for causing explosions in his kitchen if this was his first attempt ever. This was a cute story, I thought your characterization of Prussia was spot-on; I totally think he can bake, because if he can't, then who taught little Ludwig? 8D;;;

I was lucky when I learned to make it that my chef allowed us a partner. The tower itself is the easy part, but making the base and what-not is just pure FFFFFFFFFFFF!

And thank you so much!;o; I'm always worried about my characterization because there are so many authors who write Prussia better and I'm always all, "I'M NOT WORTHY!" But he's such a fun character and I fear he's taking my Hetalia FF section.

And he so totally did teach him. xD

Oh my, you're a chef? ; 3; Or a chef-in-training? c: I don't cook that often but I live on the Food Network channel /shot 8D;

I've never written Prussia before either, but I'm slowly but surely working on a piece :Db It'll probably take forever because I keep going back and changing Prussia's dialogue /orz

OF COURSE :D

[the_almighty_ro]

I am indeed. Well, a pastry chef-in-training, anyway. Lol, oh FNC...how you make me rage at the cupcake shows.

Prussia is slipery little bugger; just when you think you got his personality down pat, BOOM! You see one you like better either cause it's crackier or cockier.

France is the only icon I got so.... Ah, croquembouche~ >_< reading this made my mouth crave some cream puff action XDDDDD I find this really nice--a breath of fresh air from all those fics that portray Gilbert as a violence-loving ex-nation-tan. I love how he's secretly as multitalented as the other popular nation-tans. We need to see more of these fics!

Also, I could relate with the croquembouche experience... it really could be a bitch to build the first time around! How youtube tutorials make it look so easy is beyond me ORZ i'll stick to profiteroles in a messy heap of Chantilly cream and fruit preserves and headed for my stomach!

[the_almighty_ro]

I think France is VERY appropriate given the theme of the fic. ;D

But yes, I'm so happy you liked it. And that you enjoyed Gilbert's secret talent. Truth be told, I was thinking of doing a few follow-up's where various other nations discover his other talents, but I'm not quite sure how to go about it. All I know is, if I do, dancing is next. :D

Mm, chantilly...I make the best you will ever taste. My chefs are always impressed when I use it in a dish for class.
