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?

Would punching a fruit cake not hurt though?

Perhaps there should be different categories?

Cake punching
Biscuit punching
Cakes that are too hard to punch therefore need hammering?

Any others [bugrin] [bubear]

No Custy you are wrong.

Jaffa cakes are not biscuits. The clue is in the name Wink

The green dome cake things in Morrisons - we call them snot bomb cakes, they look nice but don't have real cream in them.

Arctic roll... I could happily punch the crap out of that soggy, cold, gritty, sponge.

Christmas cake- pointless and traditional all at the same time, ruined by marzipan and takes fecking hours to make. I'd quite like to behead a brioche or 2, line them up and go all karate kid on them

TerraNotSoFirma · 29/03/2013 18:30

I would punch fuck out of ANY cake, with my mouth (misses point)

UserError · 29/03/2013 18:32

The 1/2 syn cake, chickpea cake or any other heinous Slimming World creation pretending to be cake. YOU ARE NOT CAKE.

FakeHotCrossLobsters · 29/03/2013 18:34

I'd punch one of those meringue type cakes with fruit on them. Or those cupcakes with hard, flat icing on them.

DH just said he'd punch a wedding cake.

DS said he wouldn't punch a cake, he'd eat one.

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 29/03/2013 18:36

Dunno about punching one but have always wanted to zit a mousse like John Belhiush did in Animal House

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 29/03/2013 18:36

Bugger! Animal House

Walking through the baked goods aisle in waitrose gave me a new frisson of excitement today after ading this thread.

Iwas temptedby their Easter offering "lucky lamb" but just couldn't do it. Motherhood has made me too sentimental.

Sorry.Blush

Emilythornesbff · 29/03/2013 18:43

And i believe jaffa cakes have been formally and legally given cake status custy

What are those horrible things people used to do, sponge casing looking like a Flan base, bits of fruit in jelly in the middle? I would punch that very hard, but I'd need gloves on so I didn't actually have to touch it.

Please tell us more about the drop-kicked cake at the barbecue johnsnow?

Loislane78 · 29/03/2013 19:44

Those chocolate profiteroles that are tiered up in plastic containers - I'd do that.

Don't get me wrong, I like an eclair/profiterole as much as the next person if the next person is a greedy choc-aholic but the splodge out of the the sides would be brilliant!!! Those plastic containers were designed for punching directly from above for maximum cream spillage.

TrollFoot · 29/03/2013 19:52

There's a lot of cake anger here.

PickledInAPearTree · 29/03/2013 20:21

You could pop profiteroles like big creamy zits. Satisfying.

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 29/03/2013 20:22

Yes, yes!!! Lets do it

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 29/03/2013 20:23

Cake and sporn all in one go!

I love it when he does that in the film!!

littlemissbunny · 29/03/2013 21:07

It's a good job I'm not working this weekend as we sell those profiterole towers and I don't know if I could resist the urge to punch them all [bugrin]

Jemma1111 · 29/03/2013 21:35

I would get one of those sponge cakes with the icing and have my ex's photo printed onto it , then I would punch fuck out of it !

I think I might find that quite therapeutic

jaffa cakes are a biscuit.

one does not dunk cake in civilized society. one doe dunk jaffa

mrsminiverscharlady · 30/03/2013 11:43

It would be a Croquenbouche for me. They're all 'ooh la la, get me, I'm French you know and very, very sophisticated.' I wouldn't punch it though, just pull out one of the bottom profiteroles then stand back and watch it crumple before my eyes. Ha.

SamuelWestsMistress · 30/03/2013 11:54

I'd love to run into a wedding just as they were about to cut the cake and absolutely smash it to bits, throwing cake at all the guests and splitting it in the mother of the brides face,nor something equally outrageous. It would need to be one of those huge 6 tiered jobs. I'd proper body slam it. Huuuuuuuuuuuh!!! SPLAT.
