It has been a month of absences and missed birthdays, the crew that set out 5 weeks ago for Costa Rica were stranded in Madrid on the return journey so a filming trip in Spain was scrambled earlier than originally planned now everyone is late and has missed events and each other.
Back together in the production office we know several ways to celebrate – but it always starts with cake. Whiplash set the ball rolling yesterday with a classic carrot cake topped with her Ultimate Frosting Experience. Today I responded with a sticky ginger and lemon cake*. Tomorrow belongs to Cake Boy who has promised us his famous strawberry cream sponge ...
*follow the link and add ginger wine, more lemon juice/zest and chopped walnuts (worked fine without the apple)

yeah- more cake is always good....and not too far from us either..
ReplyDeleteoh my god, i only just followed that link, to sticky thingy ginger cake thingy...it looks incredible. i cannnot believe that normal humans can make these things...
ReplyDeleteI just passed out cold in lust reading that. Ginger lemon cake. Oh my God.
ReplyDeleteSeeing c*ke mentioned so many times in one place is going to send MJ into an apoplectic fit!
ReplyDeletePS: I hope for an update pix of Cake Boy's creation. Oui?
Are there any openings at the Production Company. It is widely known that I will work for cake.
ReplyDeleteMrs Dilo has developed an addiction to ginger wine the Christmass before last, so I'd better keep her as far away as possible from that recipe.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gutted I'm missing it!
ReplyDeleteI've suddenly got to go and find something sweet.
ReplyDeleteScreamish - Humans can make such things - give it a go, it's dead easy peasy
ReplyDeleteVeggie - as for Screamish - go on you have to do it.
xl - I have my camera poised
Alphawoman - we are too fat to fit any more people in the premises at the moment. Will call you when we've been on a salad diet.
Zena - we will make more next time to come here
Gadj - spoilsport!
Synchy - and a cuppa tea natch!
I noticed that lemon ginger cake is preceded by the word "squidgy"
ReplyDeleteI want squidgy cake and I want it now!
If I ever get to realise this secret plan* of mine to open a cafe, I might need to talk you into working for me.
ReplyDelete*Well, not so secret anymore, I guess.
I am now overcome with the desire to get my pinny on and cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
ReplyDeleteThe next time I make a cake - which doesn't happen often now due to WW - I will do the ginger and lemon one. I've never had them together and it sounds lovely
ReplyDeleteArghhh - just when I thought I couldn't be tempted... My diet is RUINED (again!). May as well pour my self a glass of ginger wine to go with the cake then ;-)
ReplyDeleteNursey - "squidgy" cake is the best sort
ReplyDeleteMet Mum - sounds good to me
Eryl - irresistible isn't it?
Frenchie - it lasted exactly half an hour outside the oven.
Ange - give in - you need the calories
I'm a whore for anything involving cake. Dudes aren't meant to have sweet tooths (sweet teeth just doesn't seem right) but hell, cake is a whole other thing. And you made me salivate like a pervert with that description. And cake's an all purpose delight. You can eat it with some coffee or tea or you can spread it on the ripe bazoombas of a ladyfriend and eat it off.
ReplyDeleteI heard. Not that I'd ever do that.
OMG!!!
ReplyDeleteCAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKE!!!!
Everything MUST begin with cake - It is the law!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to you Tony - always good to have a new cake fan around
ReplyDeleteMJ - do you need me to pass the medication?
ED - It is the law - we made it so!
