mrbadexample's birthday: cake challenge thread.

:hello: All you lovely OSers!
Today is my birthday, as some of you have noticed already. :j
I would like you to celebrate with me, by baking a cake.
HOWEVER, THERE ARE RULES!
The cake must be home made (goes without saying really :rolleyes: )
The cake must not be for you. :eek:
It can be for anyone that you think needs a cake: your mum, a helpful neighbour, that little old lady down the road that looks like she's short of cake, the postman, anyone (but try to avoid your immediate household, unless DH/DW has been working his/her little socks off and needs a reward
).
It must not be their birthday or any other special occasion. It must be out of the blue, coz that's more fun.
If at all possible, I would like to see a picture of the cake on this thread, with details of who you've given it to, and why. I understand not everyone can post pictures, but you can all write descriptions!
Anyone on a budget, or having a bit of a tight month is, of course, automatically excused - but there is no time limit on this challenge. It can be done anytime, as the thread'll still be here!
Off you go then...... :whistle:
Oh yeah...and double points for blokes who successfully complete the challenge.
Parkin
Chocolate yoghurt cake
Carrot cake

If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

What a brilliant idea. A sort of mass random act of kindness.
However, what was that sneaky little comment about us blokes? All great chefs are men, I'll have you know. OK, that doesn't mean that all men are great chefs!The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life.0 -
My better half (male) is the best cook I know!

What a great idea!
Mr P is going to have to be chief cake maker as I am not gifted in that department!
Will try to post pics and will try to do tomorrow night!Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet...0 -
Awwh, what a lovely idea for a thread. I did this one last night (for a friend at work who keeps fish), so I hope it can still count (I was still icing it this morning at 2.30 am!)... The icing slipped a bit because I had to bring it in on the bus this morning and it's a really heavy squishy chocolate cake - so it's a bit squint! It's four layers high and filled with thick chocolate fudge sauce and chocolate chunks between the layers. There are more fish on the other side Happy birthday Mrbadexample, hope you have a great day!
