[ Sorry for the spoiler, but there is a little urgency on his part if only so she might get to glimpse at his hard work before it fizzles out into a mess of pastel colours. He'd worked hard on getting the colour gradients right, and while they are nowhere near champion chef levels, he's certain his mom would have given him a solid B- for a moderately okay icing job.
He even managed to scrawl a real messy 'Happy Bday' over its small surface area. Unfortunately 'Annabeth' and 'Sorry for being so weird since we got back, I still love you I swear, but like the right healthy amount' didn't quite make the cut. ]
