Noel Edmonds: What is Cake? Well, it has an active ingredient which is a dangerous psychoactive compound known as dimesmeric andersonphosphate. It stimulates the part of the brain called Shatner's Bassoon. And that's the bit of the brain that deals with time perception. So, a second feels like a month. Well, it almost sounds like fun...unless you're the Prague schoolboy who walked out into the street straight in front of a tram. He thought he'd got a month to cross the street.

Vaguely OT the God CM on the danger drug Cake

S'not bad, considering I messed up the temperature/cooking time (new fan oven so still experimenting) & used artifically coloured cherries.

I know you won't believe it is an amateur attempt but I made this giraffe cake (was just a bit short on colours) myself! Amazingly it tasted even better than it looked! 🙂
A sophisticated blend of sponge, buttercream icing, jam and ready coloured icing, as well as my obvious talent...

Baked this last night in anticipation of B&B guests this weekend - five minutes later they phone to cancel their stay due to tooth ache! There is now only half the cake left...and my bet is it won't last another night....

Is Trifle allowed in on a cake thread? Mama Moonter made this with home made sponges, home made egg custard, pears, candied ginger and syrup, sherry, ground almonds, apricot jam, topped with whipped cream, toasted almonds and glace cherries.

Good job she only makes it once a year! Calorietastic.

Of course trifle is allowed. A teeny bit of trifle can make a person's day.

Many thanks to Dominio for suggesting this, it's awesome! You might spy some almond squares hiding in the corner (uncut).

Not gunna last long, as it gotta be eaten up, as the icing has double cream in it.

Finally got to the Inshriach cake shop today. It fully lived up the expectations that this thread had set, in fact it exceeded expectations as nobody had mentioned the array of birdfeeders outside - we had a wonderful cake while watching hundreds of birds including bramblings and woodpeckers. you may not care but I thought it was wonderful.

forgot to mention there was about 20cm of snow on the road and still people managed to get to the cafe!
