Cakes

[Dr Nowt]

Lyons chocolate cup cakes. Spectacular.

 

They did a lemon one for a while as well.

How big is this cake???

 

Rum and sherry, eh? I've only ever used brandy. I'm feeling a bit mean here only ever using a few tablespoons

 

It's massive.  I'm using one of Nigella's recipes - I decided to stop looking at the pictures and actually try something from her book.  I replaced the cocaine with icing sugar though.  And the marzipan can fuck off as well - I'm just going to keep battering it with alcohol every time it looks like getting a bit dry.  It's the sort of cake that will prevent you from driving after eating it.

Had some Arab cakes yesterday. Like a sweet vermicelli. Disgusting

I love fruit cake but can no longer deny that I like Simnel cake more than Christmas cake. And I love the marzipan; its the icing I'm thinking of ditching

I never thought I'd use the word eewwww but you made me do it.  Marzipan is the devil's mattress protector.

I'm not talking about that bright yellow, oversweet, stuff. I'm talking proper home-made almond paste

Think you're missing a trick there, Stringy

Looking forward to that German stuff over Christmas. What was it called again Cath?

Haha. Stollen. Funny, I'd just been thinking of a trip to Lidl to see if they're doing the little squares again

Top drunk food, is cake.

 

Seriously?

 

Savoury food only when drinking, I didn't even have a bit of my own Wedding cake due to this rule.

 

I do like a big fuck off cake though, like the one in Under Siege, tits coming out of it & everything.

No, no, no. After you've finished, you come home and there's a big cake with loads of icing. It's better than curry and kebabs. Though, it's not better than cheese burgers.

There's a reason that cake shops aren't open after the pub shuts & the reason is because you're mental.

I'm with Mook. I like my sweet things but it's always savouries I go for if I'm drinking drinking.

Although, to be clear, I'd never turn down a glass of something fizzy with cake

I wouldn't brag about being taken advantage of by people selling 'meat' kebabs to piss heads at the only time they'll eat them.

I never eat anything when I go home drunk, can't be bothered queuing & if I did it would be a chicken kebab, not that sweaty shit you mean.

Christmas cake baking with my daughter over the weekend.  So far, including steeping the fruit, the cake has drunk a full bottle of rum and half a bottle of madeira sherry.  It's sitting in a cupboard with fumes coming off it.  I'm terrified of it.

Been slowly eating a large home made tarte tatin throughout the day. Half way there.

My mouth is watering.

[Champ]

They have been opened

If you want to go German for Christmas, Baumkuchen should definitely be in your plans.

 

[stringvest]

Bum cake, as it's known in English.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, I know it's tree.

[setreal]

Bum tree? That's just stupid.
