Entry: Cooking for dummies part 3: Gayer Cake Sunday, March 09, 2008



I promised myself I wouldn't do anymore Cooking for dummies for a while as it seems every other post is about this. However there are special circumstances beyond my control. It seems I have inadvertently triggered the magic sentence making me the *ahem* proud *coughs* winner *coughs* of the Freakin' Green Elf Shorts from Tatas. This feat should be celebrated in some way, and since I'm fresh out of alcohol I decided to make a gayer cake. So here goes..

1. Ingredients

Photobucket

3 Chocolate cake layers
1 bag of cake custard powder
˝ liter of milk
˝ liter of cream
Raspberry jam as the strawberry topping wasn't all that fabulous
Red fruit colouring
Green and red sugar cherries
Red cake decoration syrup
Silver sugar balls

Step 1 - make cake custard

1. Put ˝ liter of milk in a bowl with cake custard powder

Photobucket

2. Stir for 4 minutes

Photobucket

3. Put in fridge for 15 minutes

Step 2 - make whipped cream

1. Take half of the cream and put it in one bowl and add a bit of fruit colouring

Photobucket

2. Stir until you've got whipped cream

Photobucket

3. Make whipped cream out of the rest of the cream but this time don't add fruit colouring

Photobucket

4. The 15 minutes are almost up so take the custard out of the fridge and stir it for 1 minute

Photobucket

Step 3 - make cake

1. Put 1 chocolate cake layer on a plate or special cake tray

Photobucket

2. Put half of the custard on the cake and apply half of the white whipped cream on top

Photobucket

3. Put raspberry jam on top of whipped cream

Photobucket

4. Put layer of chocolate cake on top and apply a little pressure

Photobucket

5. Repeat step 2

Photobucket

6. Put top layer of chocolate cake on top and apply pressure

Photobucket

7. Neatly apply pink whipped cream on top in a thin layer

Photobucket

8. Apply pink whipped cream around the sides to make it look fabulous

Photobucket

9. Decorate cake with sugar cherries, silver sugar balls and red cake syrup for that extra gay look and voilá

Photobucket

ONE FABULOUS GAYER CAKE with the green sugar cherries marking the winning of the Freakin' Green Elf Short Competiton.

Bon appetit

Tatas: I'm sure you are right, but for some reason I don't care to know

Sparkly Tim: Us more than you I bet.

T-Birdy: I should have taken a picture of that. Shoot. I have a feeling the stuff in the freezer won't look as yummy though.

Dinah: That would be awesome. Why are there no kind souls like that?!?

T-Birdy: Look at comment to Dinah.

Tatas: Could be fun to smash your face into the cake. I could never do that though. I don't know why.

That'd be so awesome, Dinah! Like a random act of kindness fairy - dropping off eats for people who are in need. Either that or stalkers who know what we are short on in the pantry.

Either would be ace.

Now I have a craving for cake AND bacardi. Of which I have neither in my house. I wish someone would just show up at my house and be like, "here! This is for you!" and then run off again so I could enjoy my rum and cake.

It would be my pleasure to visit back! A slice of cake would be lovely too... I was wondering what it looked like in the cross sectiony-part.

Creamy and jammy. Mmmmm.

Thanks, sugar balls.

IDV: I can, it would be fun to see what you'd do to them next.

It was bacardi limon and sprite. Very little sprite and much bacardi.

KAZ: Why thank you deary!

We should get into business and make a glass that is *always* filled with vodka.

KAZ: Glad you cleared that up as we wouldn't want you being confused with Tatas (the tramp)

Congratulations Pete daahling on the Elf shorts win and the wondrous cake.
Now for God's sake get some vodka in that bloody glass.

Oog! I hope I don't win them again. Imagine the palaver...

Anyway, I came back because I forgot to ask: What were you drinking (very quickly)? That glass in picture 2 emptied considerably by picture 3 and was completely empty by 6! Neat gin?

Tatas: That's a little more information than I bargained for. Thanks for scaring

Sparkly Tim: Wow you are really adamant about the whole straight thing. How sad for us.

IDV: that's what I was going for. The gayest cake, not the shorts. I didn't expect to win the shorts at all.

Lucky you, well you might win them again...

MJ: sometimes it's a good thing not leaving your name. Your comment may get a better reception.

Dear "Nameless":

Consider giving yourself a name here. Like perhaps, oh I don't know... Tatas?

Unless that's somebody else who Connie's munching on?

That is one of the gayest cakes I have ever seen! Well done!

And a big YAY! for winning those diabolical 'Shorts.

Um, no. He could call his balls 'blank cheques' and I still wouldn't go near them.

I don't need cake to sit on. I have plenty of sweetness for Connie to munch on.

Bingowings: Why thank you. I tried my best. I will need a list from you of all the stains you left on them.

The same goes for everyone who wore them. Would it be wise to get hepatitis shots etc.

Sparkly Tim: Well it's no secret that I'm not overly excited about winning them. We'll see. Maybe you'll get them next.

I'm not entirely sure, that balls and tits are the same thing. Not even kind of. If we called IDVs balls tits would you like them more?

Tatas: You really did me in there. There will be retribution, teeheee.

T-Birdy: It does taste good. A bit heavy but it is good. I put some in the freezer so feel free to pop on over for a slice whenever..

Oh and welcome. please stick around

Sugar tits, sugar balls - it's all the same thing.

Kind of.

Anyway! Congrats on winning the shorts … or maybe that should be commiserations?

Hence - gayer cake not layer cake

I thought he'd shout someting anti semetic
Tim

That's very … pink!

I'm making no comment whatsoever about silver sugar balls. Aside from the fact it sounds like something Mel Gibson might shout while drunk.

You could do that MJ, as long as you are not wearing the shorts - so Tatas should be adviced not sitting on the cake

Apply pressure with what?

Do I sit on it?
