to think that very few men really want a heart shaped cake for Valentines Day?

Keep seeing recipies for red velvet valentines cakes & wondering who exactly these are for? The recipes are on sites mostly visited by women. Do we really think that our men want a cake on V Day? Really?

Dp is a chef, and I'd quite like a heart shaped cake, linky?

TroublesomeEx · 07/02/2012 17:06

I make the cakes in our house. DH is great at other stuff, but cakes are my department.

Anyway, last year he bought me a heart shaped silicone cake tin from Sainsbury's with large hints about valentines day.

So YABU, my DH most definitely does want a heart shaped cake on valentines day!

Deeply amused at Lenin Meringue Pie :) :)

My DH will eat and enjoy any shape of cake. Not sure about the Lenin meringue pie though :o

I think DH would love a Lenin Meringue Pie

Do you use one of the eggshells as decoration to get the "baldy head" look?

BalloonSlayer · 07/02/2012 18:44

Or one of <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=lenin+cake&hl=en&sa=X&biw=1024&bih=649&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=B-SxwLAw8o_1mM:&imgrefurl=k1k1chan.com/post/1168953796/littleboneslou-lenin-cake-d&docid=xilef-mjCEt4vM&imgurl=30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l95czyTZ471qapyy7o1_500.jpg&w=500&h=335&ei=3nAxT6uDAovY8gOx8tDqBg&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=480&sig=105455802990068611101&page=1&tbnh=139&tbnw=198&start=0&ndsp=12&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0&tx=111&ty=65" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">these!

An actual Dead Lenin Cake!

I want a red velvet cake right now and I don't care what shape it is. Red velvet is my favourite kind.

ClothesOfSand · 07/02/2012 18:48

I know a few people who would love a lenin cake. The eggshell idea is genius.

I think heart shaped valentine's cake is for children, who no doubt love it with drinks in cocktail glasses. I may sort out a valentine's day party for DD next year.

Minty82 · 07/02/2012 18:53

I've been made increasingly aware of DH's liking for cake since I went freelance. If I admit to having a slow day I get texts saying "you could always bake a cake..." and in fact when I was working FT and would occasionally bake cakes to take into the office he would sulk. He doesn't believe in Valentine's Day though, so not sure about heart shaped...

Anonymumous · 07/02/2012 19:18

I've got a 'naughty cake' book that I picked up in a charity shop. DH likes any kind of cake, but I think a heart-shaped one would be easier to explain to the children than the edible boobies or the three-in-a-bed variety! Shock Grin

ReduceRecycleRegift · 07/02/2012 19:19

cake is cake Grin

cakewench · 07/02/2012 19:45

yep reckon my husband would love a heart-shaped cake. Cake. cakecakecake. My love of baking is the main reason he married me, I reckon.

Actually I think I'll be doing heart-shaped cookies. My son's birthday is soon after so I'll be doing cake then.

cakewench · 07/02/2012 19:46

Also, so glad I clicked on this thread because Lenin Meringue Pie is the best thing I've read today. Grin

EdlessAllenPoe · 07/02/2012 19:47

My DH would like a cake in any shape.

preference chocolate cake though.

JasperJohns · 07/02/2012 20:00

I've got a heart shaped cake tin.

It's the only time of year I remember to use it.

KatieScarlett2833 · 07/02/2012 20:03

DH and DC's don't really like cake

Freaks, the lot of them

We don't do V Day here, but would def do "Lenin Meringue Pie Day"

Contender for "Typo of the Year" IMO

We will have heart shaped cake.

And I will get cunnilingus.

KittyFane · 07/02/2012 21:06

itsallgonetitsup - No most men would probably prefer a blow job.

Bake a cake to share or give him a BJ.

I know what I would prefer In my mouth...

Hmm, tough one that.
