A Thread About Cake

[NoMercy]

On Tuesday afternoon Bobjugs' rang me and asked me what the chances were of a cake to take to his work the following day. I grumbled a bit bit agreed to bake one that evening for him to take to work the following day.

Within 28 minutes of his arrival, all traces of cake had mysteriously vanished.

The following day, upon his arrival, he was immediately detained, questioned and searched by the Cake Sourcing Officer who shortly released him, pending further cake.

Any cake stories, gossip or preferences for this cake-dedicated thread...?

I really like seed cake I haven't had one for ages, but I don't know where to buy caraway seeds nowadays.

Made a lovely fresh cream to take to my sister-in-law today. Got out of the car, dropped the tin and ended up with a fine mess!

I can't read this. I'm trying to diet and any mention of cake or chocolate makes my mouth water.

I think you can get caraway seeds in health food shops gran.

Years ago when one of our department managers left (well known for looking at boobs not a person's face) I made a leaving party "titty" cake - two well rounded cakes covered in pink icing and a glace cherry on top of each. It was so amusing as he was so well known for not being able to look a woman in the face!!!

NoM little story reminds me of my sole surviving auntie, Dutch by birth who is the best pastry cook I've ever known. Some years ago my cousin arrived in the local pub to help celebrate my birthday, bringing with her a huge apple strudel from my auntie. I went to the bar to get Maggie a drink, got delayed and when I got back there wasn't even a crumb left and all the company were set round with smirks on their faces talking about how good the strudel had been.
