it's the only way

then licking fingers to grab the last few crumbs

ChaoticintheNewYear · 03/01/2013 21:17

Agree with rubyslippers

Fingers over fork.

Sparklingbrook · 03/01/2013 21:19

What sort of cake? It makes a difference.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 03/01/2013 21:22

You know what, Sparkling, you might be right, a very moist carrot cake, I'd ecpect a good forking.

This is S&M Christmas Brick.

I have just discovered it is Marzipanless - this is NotAGoodThing.

Plain and fruit cake should be eaten with fingers

Anything with a buttercream icing should be eaten with forks.

I would only judge if you stuck your head on the plate and hoovered it up in one mouthful and then tried talking.

Forks for squidgy cakes with buttercream or cream

Fingers are fine for fruit cake

Sparklingbrook · 03/01/2013 21:24

Figners fine for that sort of cake. If moist a fork is always the daintier option, or something with cream that is likely to explode down your cleavage.

LegArmpits · 03/01/2013 21:26

Eh? A fork with cake?!

ChaosTrulyReigns · 03/01/2013 21:26

Why, tvym, etiquetteers.

Did you not see I am sans marzipan?

Send DH out for some marzipan with instructions not to return until he has some Wink

NewYearNewNagoo · 03/01/2013 23:07

Mo marzipan? I've no frigging cake! Xmas Shock

MrsTerrysChocolateOrange · 04/01/2013 04:06

You would hate my family, Chaos. I would only eat the icing, my DB only the cake and my DF would eat the marzipan, it was like Jack Sprat but with cake.

NoMoreMarbles · 04/01/2013 04:22

Forks are not for cake...SPOONS now that wouldn't be odd to my cake sensibilities Smile

But genetics sorted out 10 bad boys attached to my hands therefore negating need for further eating apparatus...

NoMoreMarbles · 04/01/2013 04:23

Oh...and marzipan? Vomit inducing demon slurry? No difference IMO
