I see someone drinking carrot juice when they could have had cake and think 'Feckin hell that's far too much self control' and quietly back away....Smile

Mmmm cake!

When a friend suggests we meet for coffee, I immediately think about what kind of cake the coffee shop might serve.

Ifancyashandy I am willing to test various cakes for you in the hope that one day I will find one that you like. I am sure that I will succeed, it might take me many cakes and many years, potentially a lifetime, but I am willing to make the sacrifice for you and any other MNer that hasn't found the right one yet.

I made three types of cake yesterday. Chocolate banana cake. Apple and raspberry sponge with raisins. And cherry and almond muffins.

Binky you are a bloody saint! A real live saint.

I turn down cake and think 'I'll never put that 4 stone back on'. Grin (not that cake was the cause of my old size 18 waist. That would have been the cheese. And bread. But still...)

Chocolate heartache cake, made from aubergine, almonds and a fuck load of cocoa powder. It's one of your 5 a day, honest.

NumTumDeDum · 21/06/2013 19:56

If you add pimms with cucumber, strawberries and orange slices to the heartache cake you've got your five a day right there.

I'm in charge of a cake stall next week and planning a day of baking. Will probably do mars bar cornflake cakes, Malteser tray bake, lemon dribble, and may attempt a rainbow cake. Any other ideas?

James Martin's sticky apple pudding cake with calvados caramel sauce. Best thing I ever shoved in my cake hole!

NumTumDeDum · 21/06/2013 20:20

Hugoagogo. No. I did not forget coffee cake. I deliberately ignored it for it is rank. Along with coffee revels. Bleaurgh.

Binkyridesagain · 21/06/2013 20:23

I'm sorry ifancyashandy I need to make changes to the offer I made you. It's nothing major but I would understand if you no longer wanted to take we up on the offer anymore.

No doubt this admission will also put me on some MNers spreadsheet but I have to say it, I couldn't take on a task of this scale under false pretenses.

I hate coffee cake, any and all coffee cake, I know, I know, I am hanging my head in shame.Blush

ifancyashandy · 21/06/2013 20:23

Apple cake with calvados?!? Euurrrgghh..... Nightmare come true.
