To ask if you could punch a cake, which cake would you punch?

[littlemissbunny]

Inspired by Marmalades thread, I have been thinking about how much fun cake punching would be!

I would like to punch a Victoria sponge, all that jam and cream splattering would be very satisfying :o

So what cake would you punch?

One of those comedy bum cakes.

One of those hideous giant cakes from Costco with Anerucan 'frosting'. SIL wheels them out for her kids birthdays. Vile.

American

Fruit cake. For happily ruining Christmases, weddings, Easters and other special occasions with its soggy, gritty disappointment.

Those big frosted tray bakes look vile. You would need to run at full tilt and hurl the thing SLAP against a big window rather than punch it, I think.

A big OTT American tiered wedding cake, in all it's over sweet butter creamed glory. It would make such a fantastic mess.

Battenburg! UGH!! All pink and yellow and fake and almondy!! UGH again!!

Not technically cake but how brilliant would it be to punch a trifle?

SPLAT

i love trifle.

One of those many-tiered cakes from Big Fat Gypsy weddings, I could go at it like Mike Tyson. And be there all afternoon.

Fruit cake's a good call. I'd love to give someone's miserable, long-lasting wedding cake a really good one-two. A cake prized for its ability to keep for a long time is essentially missing the point of cake.

Second thoughts one of the willy cakes on the other fred

But the gypsy cakes wouldn't be satisfying to punch as they are made of polystyrene. You would have to catch them on fire

Have you looked at www.cakewrecks.com for wonderfully revolting looking squishy cake madness? I love that site.

I'm with Badvoc - cakes with vegetables = wrong. The words carrot and cake do not belong in the same sentence.

Unless it's to say "euurrgghh carrot cake is rank".

With you all on the fruit cake, with a special mention for the ones with dirty marzipan lurking under the icing

I'd say fruit cake but I know the correct answer is Lemon Drizzle.

I'd drop kick Colin the Caterpillar.

Eccles cake, teabags are not a cake ingredient.

a rum baba. I once chose one (not knowing what it was) in a cafe aged about 14 and have never got over the disappointment of it. I'd like to punch that doughnut impersonator right where it hurts.

also surely all gateaux need a punch

Fruit cake needs trashing but is too hard and gritty to punch so a baseball bat would be required.
Agree Victoria Sponge would be very satisfying and cupcakes need jumping up and down on, in wellies.

Anything with cherries, marzipan or fruit on is the cake equivalent of the antichrist.
So wedding cake is pretty much the most evil cake in existence and must be destroyed.

Anything with bastard buttercream. Especially if it's a warm day and it's sliding limply down the sides of the cake - that would deserve a really good twatting.

where's the orginal thread BTW? I need to catch up with Marmalade and thunderthighs LDC lady...

I would slam that slimy sneaky Jamaican Ginger cake against the wall and then would probably have to burn it to ensure its demise. That effer made me SICK when I was expecting DS and I will never forgive it. Couldn't effectively punch it because its the slimy nasty skin.

A light, fluffy Victoria sponge.
