Pretty much any decadent, dark chocolate cake with plenty of ganache and chocolate decorations and/or a towering, lavish Black Forest Gateau will get me moist.
IDV, Wow! I'm glad I've never had that experince cracking an egg. What kind of beast does not even share a tiny sliver of Black Forest Gateau? Hrmph, At least I trust that Mr. Mago would always be willing to a small slice with me.
The lady with the glasses is me. I'll never forget when I mixed up coke instead of flour on the last cake. The whole neighborhood got high when the farts started.
That's exactly how I remember "saucy sponge", well, not exactly, my mother used a white pyrex dish with funky orange flowers on it, you know the type. I remember those tinned puddings clanking away in a pan of boiling water for half an hour or more, thank god for microwaves and tinned custard.
Named after a fishing hook called a Kirby, Bobby pins/Kirby grips were an excellent tool for getting inside of my sister's locked jewellery box and diary. I've heard of bobby socks and also of a Norwegian pop group with the same name, Look at me I'm climbing up a ladder...
It's like college all over again! I simply must try them all! Baskins 'n Robbins 31 flavors of ice cream (and men) and International House of Pancakes (and men) with syrup, and strawberrries, and whipped cream...Oh gosh, I had no idea baked goods was such a slippery slope into former debaucheries!
Yay! First!
ReplyDeleteYay! CAKE!

DeleteMR. DeVICE: And it means you’ll avoid one of your “Fairy Cake Related Disasters.”
DeleteIDV, I'll join you! Can we share? Does that make it a ménage à trois? (Do I dare to say, it wouldn't be my first?)
DeleteShare a cake?!? Are you mad, Melanie?! A man, yes (I also have some experience in such matters), but a Black Forest Gateau, absolutely not!
DeleteOh, amongst the horror of contemplating sharing a cake, I forgot to share the Terrible Fairy Cake Related Disaster link.

DeleteThese. Though I haven't had one in years... Jx
ReplyDeleteJON: Space cake? Munchies that give you the munchies!
Delete"in proud new packages"
ReplyDeleteThe only kind I like.
Yes, I think that's my favorite line of the whole advert. Why not be proud of such baked goodness?
DeleteWho doesn’t love a proud new package?
DeleteCertainly everyone here.
DeleteThe lady with the glasses is me. I'll never forget when I mixed up coke instead of flour on the last cake. The whole neighborhood got high when the farts started.
ReplyDeleteOh, how I miss cake farts. Thank you for bringing back the memories, Maddie.
DeleteLord Baltimore one for me please, the woman in the second picture has a slight underbite and she's got a kirby grip in her hair.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone remember McDougall's saucy sponge?
I don't think we ever had "saucy sponge" - but Auntie Beeb has a recipe!
DeleteWe used to love Heinz tinned steamed puddings when were were kids - they stopped making them in 2015, more's the pity. Jx
Mitzi, “kirby grip” sent me scurrying for my Brit-Canadian dictionary. Over here, they’re bobby pins.
DeleteAs for McDougall’s Saucy Sponge, I haven’t a clue. We’ll have to make due with Jon’s spotted dick.

Ah, yes '70s white pyrex casserole dishes! Everybody had them. Jx
DeleteThe Mother made rice pudding in ours!

ReplyDeleteMelanie, you missed the “cake farts” era here on Infomaniac. More’s the pity.
DeleteOh, no. Melanie doesn't get away with it that easily. Well, she does as cakefarter.com is now defunct, but there is a description here and a "before" photo here.
DeleteOh, and Delilah Smythe even cashed in in on them!
I read them! Thank you for the links! I seem to miss all the best parties, it's my lot in life to show up late and help the host/hostess clean up.
ReplyDeleteMelanie, you may have missed 'cake farts' but you haven't missed the ever-popular Vodka Fountain.
DeleteIn fact, I'm replenishing the Vodka Fountain as we speak. Stay tuned.
Damn, I'm late, and therefore missed my opportunity with a proud new package.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile - Pyrex - yes, rice pudding! Or trifle.
