According to a new study, eating a piece of cake makes you more productive.
The poll shows that eating a piece of cake helps one in two Brits get more done in a day.
Nearly two-thirds (59 per cent) of those polled gained a genuine sense of happiness when physically baking a cake, and more than three in four (79 per cent) said the feeling of achievement was a confidence boost and strengthened family bonds.
But it’s not a boost for everyone, apparently.
Only 36 per cent of the Northern Irish said they were happy when baking cakes, compared to a massive 70 per cent in Scotland and 57 per cent in England.
How about you, bitches?
1st! C*KE!
ReplyDeleteMistress, I just baked you a c*ke. Now I can't find my ear.
ReplyDelete2nd!!!!
ReplyDeleteHai XL.
I like cake. What do I win?
XL: Mistress, I just baked you a c*ke. Now I can't find my ear.
ReplyDeleteAre you trying to get out of your pillow fluffing duties?
BOXER: I like cake. What do I win?
This is not a contest.
For misinterpreting the post, you will assist XL in pillow fluffing.
how many layers we talking about?
ReplyDeleteHow about a lovely chocolate hazelnut gateau ganache?
ReplyDeleteNORMADESMOND: how many layers we talking about?
ReplyDeleteThis is no time to think about counting calories.
PONITA: How about a lovely chocolate hazelnut gateau ganache?
Well don’t look at ME!
Get baking!
calories were the last thing on my mind darling.... ....layers, as in, "hell-o, is this the buttercream whorehouse? i want to get laid, how many layers do you have?"
ReplyDeleteNORMADESMOND: But Ms. Desmond...
ReplyDeleteWe simply couldn't suggest you're THAT kind of girl.
Is "baking a cake" a euphemism for your usual ghastly cake related activities ????
ReplyDeleteI don't believe I've ever baked a cake--I've made muffins, brownies, and pies, but I've never baked a cake.
ReplyDeleteBut my fave cake is carrot cake, followed by rum cake, then of course, fruitcake!

ReplyDeleteDid someone mention cake?

It's time you served duty as kitchen bitch.
We have a lacy apron that would suit you.

I can cook without killing the eaters, even a menue ... but always failed on cake, Kuchen, Torte - desaster after desaster ...
ReplyDeleteI baked yesterday, and it did make me happy. The smell and actually gettng something done.
ReplyDeleteIt was a massive failure and I ended up throwing it all in the bin. Still, I felt better. Absolutely.
YOU THREW THE CAKE IN THE BIN!!!! Are you insane?
ReplyDeleteYou could have made a nice trifle.
Sx
100% of norn irish waiters said they were fucking delighted when shovelling cake doon their pieholes.....true story
ReplyDeleteLife is too short to bake a cake.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing is the anticipation before eating a cake baked by someone else.
Cake...Man...Cake...Man...
ReplyDeleteWaaaah! Can't decide!
Recent research unveils that nearly 89 % of Franconian bakers develpoed a cake disorder. Faced with an shockingly increasing cake demand the poor lads turn to substance abuse, alcohol and indecent behaviour. Cake is the ruin of many good hard working people.
ReplyDeleteCake is bad.
I am going to bake a cake and see if that gets me off my ass.
ReplyDeleteI'm more of a Hi-there Hi-there, how's y'er Pie-there Guy.
ReplyDeleteMAGO: I can cook without killing the eaters, even a menue ... but always failed on cake, Kuchen, Torte - desaster after desaster ...
ReplyDeleteThis is where tort, er, torte reform is needed.

SCARLET: YOU THREW THE CAKE IN THE BIN!!!! Are you insane?

I doubt the Danes know anything about trifle.
Now if you’d suggested a nice smoked herring appetizer?
MANUEL: 100% of norn irish waiters said they were fucking delighted when shovelling cake doon their pieholes.....true story
No doubt shovelling the leftover cake off the plates of diners with full bellies.
Have you, I mean, have THEY no shame?
KAZ: Life is too short to bake a cake.

I’ve often said the same thing whilst the houseboys are busy stirring their batter in the kitchen.
KAPI: Cake...Man...Cake...Man...
Waaaah! Can't decide!
You can have your cake (and your man) and eat them too!

Cake is bad.
I blame society.
First, we must eliminate birthday cakes. Children are exposed to them from their birthday and repeatedly at friends’ birthday parties.
Can you suggest a replacement for the birthday cake?
LEAH: I am going to bake a cake and see if that gets me off my ass.
You DO realize we’re expecting photos?
DONN: I'm more of a Hi-there Hi-there, how's y'er Pie-there Guy.
Why this sudden interest in the well-being of my pie?
How about pan cakes? Do they count - and hash cakes? they always make me feel gooooooodddddddd......
ReplyDeleteMessers Marks & Spencer see to my cake needs...and clothing needs...and shoe needs.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, they don't provide good looking Robert Downey Jr look-a-likes...but I'm used to the disappointment.
Speaking of which, where's Ginro? Is he hogging Bob in the Oubliette again?
MUTLEY: How about pan cakes? Do they count - and hash cakes? they always make me feel gooooooodddddddd......
ReplyDeleteI had you down as more of a Fray Bentos pie man.

Ginro is firmly ensconced in a room you haven’t seen yet.
All will be revealed later this week.
I’ll say no more until that time.
I made a cake on Friday afternoon and felt really good about it as I couldn't wait to eat it. Then I went out forgetting to take it out of the oven...
ReplyDeleteLuckily, SP returned 30mins later and, noticing the burning smell, took it out of the oven before the house caught fire.
I need to make another one now to feel happy again.
What about cake farting ?
ReplyDeleteAll thet cake - and nobody throws one! What about the epic cake battles of the silent era? And the modern throw-ups - is that right? The great German cultural nation of course produced a "Kleine Geschichte des Tortenwurfs".
ReplyDeleteI learned that it's called "Pieing". But the "patissiers sans frontiers" seem to have disbanded.
ReplyDeleteSad.
I know about trifle!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm
I hate cake. I like gooey.
ReplyDeleteI have hash cakes..... mmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnn
ReplyDeleteI often read baking books in bed when I'm alone, drooling over the recipes, especially the one for Bakewell Tart, it's the shiny cherries that does it and it's a good substitute for a shag. There is nothing more fulfilling than being up to the apricots in Mississippi Mud Pie.
ReplyDeleteCake?
ReplyDeleteThose Brits have such clever euphemisms for genitalia.
The land that birthed Shakespeare!

Was it one of your famous Victoria Sponge cakes so beloved by queens everywhere?
You may want to invest in an egg timer.
HEFF: What about cake farting ?
Yes, what about it?
MAGO: All thet cake - and nobody throws one! What about the epic cake battles of the silent era? And the modern throw-ups - is that right? The great German cultural nation of course produced a "Kleine Geschichte des Tortenwurfs".
“Torten-Terroristen”…teehee.

Sad.
Pieing is a popular pastime here in Canada.
No politician is exempt from a pie in the face.
And rightly so.
CYBERPOOF: I know about trifle!
Mmmmmm
Yummy.
JILL: I hate cake. I like gooey.
Would you care to jello wrestle?
MUTLEY: I have hash cakes..... mmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnn
It’s not possible that you got those from Ms. Nations as she is obsessed by tomatoes at the moment.

I should like to address you as the Bakewell Tart.

You won’t catch me ordering their “spotted dick”.
Norn Iron bakers must be skinny as fat people are always jolly.
ReplyDeleteKNUDSEN: Should I have used the tag, “Fenian Cakebaking”?
ReplyDeleteDiva will eat any cake as long as some bored and nasty ho doesn't fart on it first!!!
ReplyDeleteLA DIVA CUCINA: Diva will eat any cake as long as some bored and nasty ho doesn't fart on it first!!!
ReplyDeleteWho are you calling a ho, Miss Cucina?
MJ, was that YOU doing that cake fart video?! If so, I apologize, Mistress HO! tee hee!
ReplyDeleteLA DIVA CUCINA: It wasn’t me but I haven’t ruled it out as a career choice.
ReplyDeleteLOL! You is one rude bee-yotch, Mistress! As I sit here with my broke-ass I am constantly amazed at what people come up with as a way to make a bit of dosh!
ReplyDeleteLA DIVA CUCINA: We know you’re a pretty good cook so let Joni Mitchell sing a money-making suggestion to you…
ReplyDeleteI'm a pretty good cook
I'm sitting on my groceries
Come up to my kitchen
I'll show you my best recipe
I try and I try but I can't save a cent
I'm up after midnight cooking
Trying to make my rent
I'm rough but I'm pleasin'
I was raised on robbery
...let's make it pudding instead of jello and only if it's butterscotch
ReplyDeleteJILL: ...let's make it pudding instead of jello and only if it's butterscotch
ReplyDeleteOh Jill, you really shouldn’t have mentioned pudding.
