B...I don't know if it counts as a cake as such. But we had a truly excellent confectionary experience with the construction of a double-decker toffee crisp. It was 40cm long with two layers of crisp, caramel and chocolate. And by god it was calory filled. Some may argue that it wasn't a cake as a small toffee crisp is a biscuit or chocolate bar. But for sheer size, I believe it qualifies. Unfortunately, all the amazing experience was in the construction, as it needed to cool for 2 days in a fridge before it could be enjoyed and my co-chef abandoned my contribution for other people and I never got to taste our monstrosity.<br /><br />Thankfully, a few weeks later, I reconstructed a bigger one and sampled it's delights. Nevertheless, the original cooking of our toffee crisp cake was the best experience of the saga. And it taught me two important lessons: don't make a giant cake in somebody else's fridge; and don't exercise on a chcolate-filled stomach.Dan Baileynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273652815577465353.post-58722907877767331132009-09-16T15:26:03.872+01:002009-09-16T15:26:03.872+01:00The best cake I ever had was my sister’s wedding c...The best cake I ever had was my sister’s wedding cake. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “What a cliché!”, but it is actually the most amazing cake I have ever had.<br /><br />Right, so, imagine this: Chocolate cake with a ‘dulce de leche’ filling, along with a coconut layer in the middle. Not only does this make your taste bunds tingle from all the sugar, but add vanilla icing and strawberry sauce surrounding the slice to the mix. If that doesn’t make you drool (and I know your were writing down the ingredients as you read this), I don’t know what will!Mariahttp://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=505079831&ref=profilenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273652815577465353.post-60807760892185108342009-09-16T15:25:43.398+01:002009-09-16T15:25:43.398+01:00I had a cake for something that doesn't usuall...I had a cake for something that doesn't usually require a cake - however i have a family who literally use any situation out of the norm as an oppurtunity to buy or make cakes. <br /><br />This one was from a lady who used to be my babysitter about 10 years a go and has now opened a little shop called Bake a Boo, small pink flowery mis-matched living room type shop - and the cakes match the cosey yummy sunday afternoon feeling of the shop. W<br />e all sat around my kitchen table, the families of me and my friend who was leaving with me for 9 months and the cake managaed to silence 14 people as the moist yet perfectly flakey cake melted in our mouths, it went beautifully with a cup of tea - and evan my nan who never induldges had a second helping.<br />I regretted how much i ate of that cake on the plane the next day!

He was like a Miss Crafty in a cake shop!<br /><br />I got out my map to a recommended bakers and we set off in the scorching heat - jetlag be damned! I had the New York cheesecake and he had Canoli(?)(purely because they eat it in The Sopranos - such a boy!).<br /><br />It was an amazing holiday and amazing cakes.

We only had 70 guests but provided enough cake for probably 3 times that number. The guests tucked in and many yummy noises were made.<br /><br />But I was wearing a corseted dress. And by the time I'd had my starter I couldn't eat anymore. So I didn't eat my cake.<br /><br />The next day we discovered we still had vast quantities of cake left. What do you do with half a massive chocolate cake? It doesn't keep like fruitcake. It needs to be eaten. We were off on honeymoon, it would spoil.<br /><br />Someone at the venue worked for Meals on Wheels. Suggested she could cut it up and take it to her customers. Spread a little happiness with our delicious chocolatey wedding cake.<br /><br />So that's what we did. The beautiful cake went out with Meals on Wheels and was apparently a massive hit. <br /><br />But I didn't get any. Not a taste of my wedding cake. Not a morsel. I'm told it was delicious. It certainly looked good.Ceonanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273652815577465353.post-78443805496902719722009-09-16T12:16:53.024+01:002009-09-16T12:16:53.024+01:00The best cake I ever had was my sister's weddi...The best cake I ever had was my sister's wedding cake - it was a classic fruit cake, tasted great and looked lovely.
