Cake Appreciation Society

[Deo]

I am a connoisseur of fine cakes.

Some of mine are (and you may find a pattern):
Chocolate - Almond cake, chocolate ganache and mocha buttercream
Chocolate devil’s food cake, chocolate ganache and praline buttercream Chocolate devil’s food cake and vanilla buttercream
Banoffi Pie with a crunchy ginger base.

What would you say your favourite cake is??

[art_bohemia]

I own the original recipe for Waldorf Astoria's famed "Red Velvet" cake. It's damned fine. I think I might like pies better, though.

[SportGuy]

My favorite cake easily is cheesecake, all the way.

[JazzyCat]

My favorite cakes are German Chocolate and Pineapple upside down. They both bring back happy memories.

[DrWolf]

Much like art, I enjoy pie as well...*cough*
But as far as cake is concerned, cheesecake pwns all.

[ElljaeT]

I am a MASSIVE fan of pretty much every cake I have ever encountered. The only limit is I wont touch anything that has marzipan involved. For the ultra indulgent I would always recommend a good Mars Bar cake / ganache but for everyday eating you just can't go past a good cheesecake baked or otherwise.

Now I can't think of anything other than cake. mmmmmm sweet cake.

[soaK]

At the moment my favorit recipe is raspberry buttermilk cake. Oh the moist, soft, white deliciousness... and the delicious, red, juicy raspberries.... *drools*

[Gobberwart]

I'm really not a massive cake fan, but I always enjoy a cheesecake, I'm partial to a black forest jobbie and who could forget the classic Australian pavlova (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavlova_%28food%29) which I suppose is technically not a cake, but it looks like one.

[DrWolf]

Pavlova? It doesn't ring a bell...*hopes someone gets it*

[Gobberwart]

You dog!

[Grokly]

/me drools

[Impalix]

Homemade chocolate chocolate-chip bundt cake with a thin drizzle of vanilla frosting (also homemade).

I love making my family beg me for it

[Reenix]

White-chocolate cake with white chocolate sauce and white chocolate drops. Well, except the cake IS a lie, so...

[stroby]

Just thought I'd chip in about a pavlova-esq thing we have its soft meringue layered with cream then with strawberries and raspberries and then lazily rolled so you can cut slices yummm

[Gobberwart]

Interesting factette about pavlovas: Did you know, they're named after Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova, and not, as would have been much more entertaining, after the dude with the slobbering dogs.

[Reenix]

I doubt a Russian dessert would be named after 'One Man and his Dog', but yes, that is true. And Baked Alaska looks like the Alaskan Sunrise, only without the insane pro-lifer governing it.

[DrWolf]

Insane AND HOT pro-lifer.
Er...crap, now I've gotta think of something to say about cake. Hm...I still say cheesecake rules all.
And Gobb, anyone who would actually name a kind of dessert after Pavlov has more serious issues than I do. I mean, do you realize how freakin' tasty the cake would have to really be in order to envoke the Pavlovian response on a consistent enough scale? I don't think any cake could pull that off.

[Reenix]

Having issues is no barrier to us Paradoxians.
And Sarah Palin is NOT hot >_>
Cheesecake is nom, if it's white chocolate

[ElljaeT]

Wolf you have obviously never had Pavlova otherwise you would know that the very mention of said tasty treat is enough to illicit a drooling response.

[stroby]

/me has never had cheese cake

and I agree with reenix palin not hot never was and never will be

[SportGuy]

/me has never had cheese cake

and I agree with reenix palin not hot never was and never will be

No cheesecake?!?!?! My god man, what kind of depraved life have you had?!?! Go have it now, unless you have some kind of allergy to dairy, then don't.

As for Palin by the twelfth time or so that Wolf spammed us with a link to her pictures, i could sort of see it.

[Gobberwart]

My god man, what kind of depraved life have you had?!?!

You know, I think you mean deprived... Or maybe not

And yes, Stroby, go have some cheesecake, it's tastier than it sounds.

[Reenix]

It's so amazing that it had to posted twice!

*noms some cake, which isn't a lie for once*

[Gobberwart]

*deletes extra post*

Sorry about that. I'm stuck with Internet Explorer 6 on this PC, and it.. well, it just doesn't work right.

[Impalix]

Gobb's depraved on account of he's deprived

[Spiff]

hmm these saltine crackers im eating on taste like chocolate cake to me.... could be the cold i have.. or could it be something else??? hmmmmmm

[Reenix]

Maybe that's a good thing? I wish colds would make stuff taste nice.

[Spiff]

they were the best crackers i ever ate.. but ate lunch i did have chocolate cheesecake. So that made it all better

[pw079]

Agreed, I love cheesecake as well. But I am a big guy and will eat just about any sweet thang.

Also, I thinkg Gov. Palin is quite attractive at her age, having as many kids as she has, and for being a politician. Face it how many weapon in politics are as a attractive as Palin=Not many lol

[ElljaeT]

/me apologises to pw in advance for making fun of his typo and thinks that Palin is less of a politcal weapon and more of a tool

[jimmyBUFFET]

/me would to terrible things to governor palin...and some of them may involve cake.

just picture it.

-jB

[Gobberwart]

You know, if I went to Russia, I could probably watch. If someone would get all the moose out of the way.

[DrWolf]

See that? Sarah Palin's fine ass revived this thread.=op And Jimmy, I don't wanna picture you doing things with her that involve cake. I'd much rather it be ME who's doing those things with her.

[Right2Wrong2000]

Sarah Palin = Flyest politician in history. Me, Her, and an Oreo Cake. Fantastic.

[jimmyBUFFET]

so what kind of cake goes best with Palin, is the new question?

It would have to involve lots of mousse.

-jB

[stroby]

Really Palin is not hot, just not. Never will be either. Maybe could have been in the past.

[Right2Wrong2000]

So then who is a hot politician Strobes?

[SportGuy]

Well gob I don't know if you knew this but at the time I have heard she did have a palin effect on some lads, and yes I hereby christen it the palin effect

[DrWolf]

But she looks like Bill Parcells with a wig...and lipstick...and she appears to have carnie-hands.

[Grokly]

Carey Torrice = PILF

Now.. let's see if we can get this topic back on topic, shall we? How about some PILF Cake?

[SportGuy]
