I made my Dalek cake this week.
As told in the Post Whore Thread, I had no camera luck in taking a picture of it whole.

So first picture below is NOT my Dalek cake. But it gives you an idea.
Second pictire IS my Dalek cake - it is what was left next day. Everyone expressed regret at having to dismantle it, so I think saving the head was an attempt not to sully a work of art (snort).

Mrs G had no such compunction - she'd enjoyed a slice the day before and just scoffed the remaining portion at break time. A woman after my own heart. Although I ate none of it. It was all about the fun of making it for me.

I'd like to point out that Daleks have an eye-stalk on their heads. You can't see because of the angle, but there is an eye-stalk on mine. And I chopped the glace cherry in half to make the "plunger" whereas they left theirs whole. Mine looked like a little mouse's heart though...

Great fun, very little effort.
May Fayre, yes. Maybe even two as the leftover decorations would suffice, rather than being scoffed by the 'rents.

Sundae, you know I love you. You know I love and admire you. I think you're swell.

Now. What the HELL is a Dalek cake and why would you make a cake that looks like a caterpillar standing upright and what is it with you English and your cakes?

You have castle cakes and fairy cakes and now this! You should have cakes like we have in 'merica. Proper cakes - cakes that include and are named after CANDY BARS!

Daleks, dear heart, are villains in the longest running sci-fi show in the world, Dr Who.
In the series they are not made of cake, but metal, so they look a lot more threatening.
Had they been made of cake they might have been less invincible.
Or maybe not - think Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.

Many people I know make standard cakes. And some are lovely.
And they make their way into the staffroom to muted approval.

I like the unusual and the decorative.
I like being accosted in the corridors by people being amazed at my cakes.
I am a cake whore.

My next cake will be another Bacardi cake (the last I made was in a Bundt ring). I'm going to make it in a bat mould for Halloween.
The staffroom are suckers for chocolate, but they aren't averse to rum either

Wait, what?
Which part is the penis?

To Bri, I could get some free stickers from Vistaprint which confirm Approved By Brianna for my next cake.
But by the time they arrive they might already be out of date!

I was just reading an article in Salon about The History of Dessert.

from that article:

"...Put another way, the making of sweet things reflects the impulse to achieve the sublime, the spectacular, the inimitable, and the nonsensical."

I think that says it nicely.

don't worry about the stickers. I approve of everything you do.

I'm making beer bread this weekend.
Does that count?

And also, if I can have carte blanche, can I seduce your ginger son?



















































Joke. Promise.
