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...?

Used to do cake challenge when I was a student nurse on one ward all the staff who were going to be on duty on a wednesday afternoon put a pound in a kitty and a cake request in the 'hat' (vomit bowl-disposable) and I drew one out on a monday night and made it on tuesday for work on Wednesday

They tried to be obscure as possible and we didn't have google back then
so often had to make a trip to the library to track down recipes I had a very good assessment for that ward and it was funny how the same names appeared on the off duty

I've already mentioned this in another thread today.
One of the most bizarre cakes I was asked to make for a gay male friend was one in the shape of a penis and testicles.
I used Spanish Gold (sweet tobacco) to represent his ginger pubes

Many years ago I was in Singapore on business. It was an amazing hotel with the staff very attentive and when I got to my room after work one afternoon, there was a cake on a plate for me. I started to eat it, and it was exquisite. So nice that I decided to only eat half, go to the roof pool for a swim, and come back and finish it. When I got back to my room after the swim, ever watchful staff had been in to my room and taken the plate away. : o (

[NoMercy]

That'll learn you, Grasscarp...

Are you partial to a bit of Lemon Drizzle, Cazzz?

[slinky.kate]

[cazzz1975]
