      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.

      MR. DeVICE: And it means you’ll avoid one of your “Fairy Cake Related Disasters.”

      IDV, 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?)

      Share a cake?!? Are you mad, Melanie?! A man, yes (I also have some experience in such matters), but a Black Forest Gateau, absolutely not!

      Oh, amongst the horror of contemplating sharing a cake, I forgot to share the Terrible Fairy Cake Related Disaster link.

      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.

      Yes, I think that's my favorite line of the whole advert. Why not be proud of such baked goodness?

      Who doesn’t love a proud new package?

    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.

      Oh, how I miss cake farts. Thank you for bringing back the memories, Maddie.

    Lord 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.

    Does anyone remember McDougall's saucy sponge?

      I don't think we ever had "saucy sponge" - but Auntie Beeb has a recipe!

      We 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.

      As for McDougall’s Saucy Sponge, I haven’t a clue. We’ll have to make due with Jon’s spotted dick.

      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!

      Melanie, you missed the “cake farts” era here on Infomaniac. More’s the pity.

    2. Inexplicable DeVice4:58 AM, March 20, 2021

      Oh, 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.
      Oh, 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.

      Melanie, you may have missed 'cake farts' but you haven't missed the ever-popular Vodka Fountain.

      In 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.
    Meanwhile - Pyrex - yes, rice pudding! Or trifle.
    Sx
