I used to kind of like Ian because he promoted animal rescue, but now I just find him annoying and smarmy.
Yeah that cake is pretty lame looking. Looks like a box cake that she threw some strawberries and chocolate chips on. If I'm making a cake for my guy, I'm putting a little more effort into it than that and I'm definitely putting some frigging frosting on it.
I have two words for you auntliddy ~ Butter Cream! (Or Creme Cheese).
I'm the girl who actually eats all the frosting off my slice of wedding cake. Just give me a cup of black coffee to chase it with and I'm happy in my sugar coma.
His droning speech is just one of the many reasons I hate Twitter. If celebs aren't posting annoying selfies, they're posting self congratulatory speeches about their fabulous achievements. Ssssssssnore!
As the resident baker here, I don't have a problem w/it--it looks as if it might be an angel food cake baked in a square pan rather than a tube pan, in which case chocolate chips and strawberries are a perfectly good decoration/accompaniment. She probably used a mix, but then so have I when I've made angel food, since separating a dozen eggs is a major pain in the butt (not to mention figuring out WTF to do w/a dozen egg yolks, although I'll accept any suggestions...), so no shade thrown there. If my experience feeding starving musicians is any indication, most guys are just so damn happy you baked something specially for them that they really don't care if it's fancy or not, just as long as it tastes good.
(Having said that, I personally prefer frosting, but to each their own, although pound and angel food cakes usually work better w/a dusting of confectioners' sugar, and you can always sift a tablespoon or two of sugar on top of most cakes' batter to give it a nice crunchy/crackly look and taste before slipping it into the oven. For God's sake, though, use butter for the frosting (or butter AND cream cheese, nomnomnom!), because the stuff made with shortening is just plain vile!
That looks tasty.
ReplyDeleteNot really but it's the thought that counts, right?
Where's the frosting on that cake?? How can you possibly eat cake without frosting??
ReplyDeleteThat is not cake. That is just bread with some fruit on top.
ReplyDeleteWhy the hell is it so gouged up?? Looks like someone/thing was nibbling on it. Does she have any rodent pets?
ReplyDeleteI imagine its yeasty... we r talking Nikki....
ReplyDeleteWTF is that! Clearly she's not a cake artisan.

Wow. If that's what impresses him, imagine how bad previous girlfriends were. The mind reels.
ReplyDeleteI think its sweet, and i could totally eat a cake without frosting. Thats where all the flaver is.

LOL that is a pretty janky looking cake
ReplyDeleteWhy does he sound like he's accepting a Nobel Prize? lol You're directing one episode of a CW TV show that is probably on its last legs.
