but chickened out and squashed a finger in a breadcake instead. That is all (for now)

Did it deserve it? By being coffee cake, for example. Or having that shitty shaving foam icing?

onestepbeyond · 12/09/2014 19:30

Definitely wouldn't punch a coffee cake - a banana cake on the other hand!!

MrsTerryPratchett · 12/09/2014 19:31

If it was chocolate, YABU.

SanityClause · 12/09/2014 19:33

Yes, build up to it.

Keep going, and soon you'll be karate chopping Black Forest gateaux!

Every time you punch a cake, Mary Berry dies a little inside.

It was a miserable looking victoria sponge however fate paid me back when I dropped (and broke) my eggs at the checkout.

The plastic was too thick to squish :-(

How about Sacher Torte, Mrs Terry?

SanityClause · 12/09/2014 19:44

Or Swedish Princess Cake?

If I had to punch a cake if definitely choose Christmas cake. Love Christmas, hate Christmas cake.

HannerHet · 12/09/2014 19:46

So you squashed a cake in the supermarket but didn't buy it?

MrsTerryPratchett · 12/09/2014 19:46

Nothing with chocolate. Does Swedish Princess Cake have fondant? I think it does, so punch away.

Terrierterror · 12/09/2014 19:47

Mary bloody Berry is the reason Ocado were out of Princess cake for my last delivery. Bastard Bake Off.

Terrierterror · 12/09/2014 19:47

It has marzipan Sad

ILovePud · 12/09/2014 19:48

Cuntcake? I miss The Thick Of It.

Did you eat some grapes without paying for them afterwards?

SpaceInvaders · 12/09/2014 19:52

Punch a cake as in actually punching one in a shop? Hmm
Bit pathetic really if so.

Hassled · 12/09/2014 19:55

Punching bread I can see - it has a bit of resistance to it. A bit of fight. But punching a cake is like punching a unicorn - I couldn't bring myself to do it.

PiggyPlumPie · 12/09/2014 19:56

I'm too scared to punch a cake - I did rearrange the spices to spell POO though!

DD1 (15) gave me a withering look Smile

SanityClause · 12/09/2014 19:57

No, you squeeze bread. You punch cakes.

It's the MN way.

Marlinspike · 12/09/2014 19:58

Was it lemon Drizzle?

SecretNutellaFix · 12/09/2014 19:59

Princess cake has Marzipan.

Foul stuff.
