WIBU to kick this dog?

[MarmaladeShatkins]

Sorry, I didn't kick a dog. I need some baking suggestions but no-one ever replies to threads asking for boring stuff, do they?

DS's school is doing a bake off and for those of you who remember, baking comes with much angst at our school. I won't be doing a lemon drizzle or cornflake cakes, though.

I am going to try and do something like this as the theme is nature. But I want to do a relevant flavour of cake, but I am having a brain drain and can't think what to do.

Any suggestions gratefully received and I am sorry for tricking you into reading my thread. I can make up a story about kicking a dog if you like?

Apple and cinnamon?

Nutella flavour.

Something with hazelnuts in it mybe

Apple and cinnamon is good!

But so is Nutella...

Nuts are banned. I was going to do carrot with hazelnuts until I read that nuts were out. :(

Nutella has nuts in !!!!
I was going to say carrot

When I look at that cake I think mint chocolate because of the colours of the grass and the earth. Or carrot cake would fit with the rabbit and the natural theme.

Squirrel?

Marmalade I remember the lemon drizzle! I am not sure I am emotionally prepared for round two.

Please can I hear your made up dog story? I kicked a dog once because it looked at me funny. this is not true

Can't you do a sarcastic lemon orchard cake

I was going to say walnut but as nuts are out it has to be carrot for the rabbits!

Nutella and banana. A marriage made in heaven!

Carrot cake is much nicer with sultanas instead of nuts, I think

How do you incorporate Nutella into sponge? Just stir it into the mix, is it?

LOL at Lemon Orchard cake.

No suggestions but your thread title worked on me

Sorry but sultanas give me the boak. I won't be able to eat any of the cake mixture if there's sultanas in it.

OK, dog story...

Was getting onto the bus this morning and there was a disabled dog sitting in the pushchair area. I asked it to move and he tried to give me paw so I kicked it. WIBU?

Do you have Nigella's how to be a domestic goddess (or can you borrow a copy?). The rosemary loaf cake is divine (and quite unusual as you don't normally associate rosemary with sweet things).

Marmalade!!

What a cunning stunt (try saying that as a tongue twister)

I was about to shout that it's NEVER OK to kick a dog!

Yes I do have that book, Weekend! I'll have a look in a sec. :)

Oh come on. Sometimes it is OK to kick a dog. Does anyone remember when a dog shat on my picnic?!

If nuts are banned , the wouldn't nutella also be banned?

You could do carrot cake with a cream-cheese based snowy scene atop it.

Marmalade , you know you have to beat her don't you? No pressure!!

How about vanilla and orange?

Bastard. YANBU.

I NEED to know what sort of cake Lemon Drizzle mother turns up with.

I would be tempted to give it multiple layers in the colours of various soil substrates. You could then cut a slice out to show and include a stand next to it explaining the geology. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Lemon Drizzle woman!

But otherwise I love mint choc too or carrot cake.

It's only ok to kick if it sits in a P&C parking space without a puppy and refuses to move. Bastard.
