Off to make a cake!

[Rhythm Thief]

It's Ms RT's birthday today, so I've just been shopping and bought all the ingredients for a chocolate and cherry cake, which I'm now off to make. We won't eat it all ... does anyone have any ideas as to what to do with the leftover pieces, or should I just bin it?

You don't have to eat it all today surely? It should keep for a week in a Tupperware box? Or feed it to the birds or your neighbours etc. I often make a cake for myself and give away half of it. Or it should freeze.............

Birthday cake food fight - if only to prove that Mrs RT is not as old her birth certificate certifies!

You know it makes sense!

Chocolate and Cherry? MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm

I'll help you eat the left overs.

Coincidentally, I operate a Cake Disposal Service. Since it's you, I will waive my usual fee and take care of it free of charge - just stick it in the post to me.

Won't eat it all? No... Not a concept I understand... It's there, it should be eaten!!

 

[Arch]

Well, if you really can't finish it before it goes a bit dry, why not make trifle? Probably want a cherry jelly, soak the cake in some suitable liquer (sp?), and you could even make chocolate custard.

Oh my god, I want that now! Topped with cream and chocolate sprinkles of course.

I don't generally like trifle, but my Mum makes it with minimal jelly, just enough to soak the sponge, and I love that. Plus, she's not mean with the sherry.

It does not compute.... left over cake? I have never encountered a situation where home made cake has not been consumed in its entirety. Even a baked cheesecake that didn't set was eaten up with spoons

If you are really stuck - ping Ab Chandler and me. We can travel up to Herefordshire quite easily on the back of his motorbike. (Checks validity of passport).

If there is still too much left over, we can start a cake relay in Worcestershire. (We can start the relay and finish it )

Coffee cake number 2 is minutes away from being taken out of the AGA. Fun times.

That's the sort of answer I was after! Well done, you three: a bit of cake is in the post to you.

RT happy birthday to Mrs RT for yesterday.

Are you sure your OP wasn't a euphemism? Do we really have to know what you and Mrs RT get up to ?

Ooooh did you say you had spare cake??

 

[Jane Smart]

Sorry in my desperation to bag some spare cake going from SL I forgot to say, what a good man you are baking a cake for your wife like that

A belated Happy Birthday to her

I wish Mr Campfire would make a cake for me. I'm trying to give it up but yours sounds lovely, Arch has said what I was going to say, make a trifle. She's always got good ideas about cake!
