They didn't bake it themselves? What kind of frightful people do you have to deal with Bravissimo? Are they the lower orders?

A quarter done in 7 minutes so the lot should be gone inside half an hour, good work!

It is a small cake cheesy, yes. But it's also a massive knife. I'm going to cut the next slice by tossing the cake in the air and trying to get a piece before it drops.

In an ideal world, she should come home and find you asleep on the sofa, dressed in her nightie, with jam and cream smeared all around your mouth and a trail of cake crumbs crushed into the soft furnishing.

You started on it 45 minutes ago and there's still cake left?

By now I'd be well into feeling shame and guilt having eaten the whole thing , I'd have got rid of the [s]evidence[/s] wrapping and and would be working out how to live off tap water for 3 days

The internerd tells me that this cake contains a mere 1366 calories.

Man up and finish it I say.

i think you should have just stabbed it through the packaging and left the knife in at an angle. . .that would have really freaked them out

You should NOT have eaten more than 15 minutes.

(does anyone else use the Minutes System for dividing cakes and pies?)

Then he'd have had less cake, and the crime would still be completed by the husband.

Get the plate and box and lay a trail of the remaining crumbs to wherever the husband is sitting (probably best to wait until he leaves the room to avoid arousing suspicion).

I actually got to just under 45 minutes (yes, me too Shibboleth) before hubby came home. When I get there on Monday morning, I'll blame him for eating 45 minutes worth. 🙂

It's started again. Different cake. This one's from a farm shop. Much nicer. 🙂

EDIT: Thats how much I've been left!! I haven't already polished off half of it.

Paper plate because she doesn't trust you not to lick her crockery, and pre-cut because she doesn't trust you with a big knife.

She doesn't trust you, chubby. 😆

No, there's a knife there crikey...but smaller than Friday's bear-killer. To be fair, it came on a paper plate I think. I also noted that the slices have been pre-cut. 🙂 There's probably an unwritten message in that.

Hmm, am I supposed to be leaving cake for my builders?

Got bathroom fitters in, they've been here for 2 and half weeks, and hope to be finished this week.

So far I've been attempting to drown them in tea, but I haven't given them any cake?

Am I a bad customer?

DD - if you're only having 2 slices of that(*), have the ones on each end.

(*) who am I kidding? Start with the 2 ends, then one of the middle bits, then leave the last bit for hubby so you can blame him again.

Where I'd have had to nip to the shop to buy an identical cake to make it look like I'd not eaten the whole thing.....
And of course
I'd have had to start eating the second cake to make it look like I'd actually eaten some of of course......

I had something similar to that last year when clients went on holiday PP! Took "help yourself to anything" a bit literally and ended up doing a big shop in sainsburys to replace everything on my last day before they came home. 🙂
