The cake is delicious and moist!

[Voicy]

So the Real Men Wear Pink's GL had a b'day and his wife made him a birthday cake.

Everything is handmade/edible with no molds used, only the ricepaper was printed.

I think it came out quite nicely...

Apparently it didn't last very long:

Bizzmark (South African bloke) reckons his lightie took about out of the little stick-figure's shoulder piece, which was also made from chocolate. Thereby, removing his Tier set bonus. :p

[Souper]

Wow (no pun intended, no really). talk about live it, breathe it, eat it...

[Nitty]

Awesome! :D

[senorblinky]

Hierdie koek is pragtig, maar met die grootste respek, Vudu s'n was mooier.
Sonskyn het vir hom 'n 3 layer toring koek laat bak, met Vudess, VuduSA en Enrose op, hulle was perfek, perfek, perfek uitgebeeld en DELICIOUS!
Sal kyk of ek 'n fototjie kan kry.

Ek kyk nou weer, dit is nogal 'n special koek die.

[Badapple]

Gee, that is very well done!

(ps I <3 moist koek :D)

[Arbythep00nage]

Modelling chocolate does some pretty cool stuff.
Looks like pound cake with chocolate ganache filling.

[Megnut3025]

OMW... like I really needed to see that now when all I feel like is a HUGE piece of yummy chocolate cake!!!! :drool:

It is so well done! Nice find Voicy :pompom:

[Jono]

Didn't know Bizzmark had a kid. He sound's very young on Vent. :p Nice bloke, pretty cake!!

[Mugato]

Yeah bizzy is one hell of a nice guy. Nicest guy ive met in the game. One hell of guildy. He holds that ship together with glue. Ask pwincess teehee

[Voicy]

Yeah bizzy is one hell of a nice guy. Nicest guy ive met in the game. One hell of guildy. He holds that ship together with glue. Ask pwincess teehee

Oooh gossip girl time! I gotta hear this ... Out with the full story!

[GeroW4lll]

That was a triumph!

[Mugato]

Oooh gossip girl time! I gotta hear this ... Out with the full story!

lol The usual guild nonsense. Power struggles ect. Something all wow players suffer from at some point. RMWP went through a rough time just before I took my break. It all started with the first downing of the Lich King in 10man. It happened on an unorganized raid on a saturday afternoon using the "organised" weeks raid lock. That make sense? There was a specific group of handpicked "no lifers" that were chosen to down the LK. Some of those people that had spent months grinding away at it weren't online so they never got credit. Needless to say the proverbial poo hit the fan. It just spiraled from there. Factions, distrust, name calling. I wasn't involved but all the bitching just left a bitter taste in my mouth AGAIN. Anyway Bizzy held the guild together through a guild split. He worked hard on keeping moral up. I respect him for that. He keeps a cool head.

[TG]

See, it's not just us that gets affected by this crap.

[Drusky]

Ja but we don't get cake.

[Noodle]

We get icecream socks! :woot:

[Thumponius]

See, it's not just us that gets affected by this crap.

They even had a common denominator with us. I had a chat to him about it and the same name cropped up.

Mmmm, bridge, water, pee inna river.

[Mugato]

Yeah its pretty much happened in every top guild ever. RMWP is where all people from other guilds apply when they fall out. Ive heard the stories over and over.
I think it was felt deeper here because the community is very close and not just a wow clan. Some good people were lost in the fire imo.

But Hell! Its almost christmas chaps!! My lady is getting a 13th cheque!! Im so excited, ive been browsing expansys all morning sending her links. She isnt taking the bait though. Not yet anyway.

[Nitty]

I'm still here :ras:

[Mugato]

I'm still here :ras:

And a true rose amoungst the thorns. Or maybe the thorn amoungst the roses. Voicy is also a rose. A soft delicate petal with smooth muffin baking hands.. hmmm.... wait. What?

[Nitty]

:hmmm: No wonder Voicy enjoyes hanging out at Draggies! :p

[Thumponius]

Don't ask, don't tell.

[Stool]

the cake is not exploding

[TG]

I hope not, I expect the cake to be delicious and moist.

[Stool]

Ever since gypsy mentioned something about exploding cake I've only been imagining exploding cakes.

She has yet to post me the recipe for making an exploding cake.

[Gypsy]

the cake is not exploding

Sorry it doesn't explode :)

The magic in this cake comes from 2 special effects:

The dry ice in the magma chamber, and the hard candy lava streaming down the sides of the volcano.

We constructed our volcano using 3 seperate cake sections:

Bundt cake base
Dome cake middle (baked in medium bowl)
Inverted cupcake peak


We used a small juice glass to first cut out the center of the middle layer before stacking it on top of the bundt cake base. Next, insert the glass into the cavity. This is your magma chamber.

Cut a vent through the center of the cupcake peak section. Frost both the main cake and the cupcake peak, but dont put the top on just yet.



To make the candy lava you’ll need:

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup Karo syrup
1/4 cup water
Red food coloring
Combine these ingredients and bring to a boil in a saucepan. Heat to 300 deg F. Remove from heat. Pour candy lava into the desired shapes onto a foil-lined baking sheet. Allow to cool.



Just before you are ready to serve the cake, drop a chunk of dry-ice into the glass, and pour in some cold warm water. Put the top piece onto the volcano and arrange the candy lava on the sides.

If you want your cake to actually bubble over with oozing lava, then add sweetened, colored egg white to the dry ice in the magma chamber rather than water. We didn’t think that sounded very apetizing, but it sure would look cool. Here is the recipe for the oozing goo:

1 egg white
2tbsp sugar
food coloring
Dropping that into your volcano will result in a nice eruption that should last for a few minitues.

[Megnut3025]

Well as long as it doesnt explode onto the floor because then Id be very sad! ... If Im going to bake a cake, I'd at least like to get to eat it. I have to make a cake for my small penguin on thursday.... lets just say his ideas for what he wants are very .... well... interesting! :gyes:

[Thumponius]

He been talking to Flatty?

[Vortex]

Bake your cake and eat it too?

[Tresbien]

Sounds very cool Gypsy, just not sure what temperature cold warm water should be :D
Might need to do this during school holidays

[Gypsy]

Tresbien, we also thought huh? and decided they meant luke warm water:hmmm:

[Drusky]

Damn it's a cake. No wonder you didn't go for the KmnO4 and brake fluid.

[Mugato]

There is no cake. The cake is a lie.

:rofl:

[Gypsy]

I got the beedy eye from the parents when I read them the brake fluid recipe:D my brother-in-law asked me "Do I know the kids still need to eat this cake" :rolleyes:

[Gypsy]

http://www.wargeeks.org/images/attach/jpg.gif

The cake, they overdid the sparklers so you miss the smoke :) that's just like the brother-in-law always go for overkill :D

[Megnut3025]

OMW?!?! Im surprised that they didnt need a fireman on standby with that cake?!? :blink:
Im afraid my B-day cakes are no where near as exciting! :gno:

[Tresbien]

Very cool cake Gypsy

[Nitty]

:thumbsup: Gypsy and family! I have my birthday in July, so you can come over then and make me one too please :)

[Gypsy]

:eek: Nitty - will a black forest do?

[Nitty]

For sure! I love nature. Just make sure you bring the whole forest :D

[Thumponius]

With the number of candles on that cake you'd better get at least 4 fire departments on standby. Thank goodness it'll be winter so the neighbourhood could keep warm once they're lit.

[Nitty]

Listen geyser, who're you calling old? :baseballbat:

[Thumponius]

That's GEEZER! You have been served.

And it's Mr. Geezer to you.

[Nitty]

:cry: Thumpy is mean to me :cry:

[Thumponius]

Punky's not around so someone has to be,

[Stool]

Im afraid my B-day cakes are no where near as exciting! :gno:

No just deadly

Wasn't there a recipe of yours for something involving viennas/poloni and condensed milk bake?

[Nitty]

Stool has the memory of an elephant! We really have to be more careful with him around :bitenails:

[Gypsy]

No just deadly

Wasn't there a recipe of yours for something involving viennas/poloni and condensed milk bake?

That just doesn't sound good at all - turn green material :D

[Hoss]

Wow finally we've discovered something that can hold the geeks attention for longer than 2 seconds; CAKE. I mean this thread is 5 pages old are we are still discussing cake!

[Nitty]

Some of us are discussing cake. Others... well :p

[rainy]

Perhaps we should close this thread right here and now. You know, before it gets derailed...

[Megnut3025]

No No... cake talk is good talk! :gyes:

Well Im very proud to say that my little man was thrilled beyond words with his soccer cake that I made for him this past Thursday. The children in his class couldn't stop telling him nice his cake was. Sometimes its really cool being a Mom! :)
So... something really sad happened this past weekend... While I was in Jhb My lil Sis and I went and bought a delicious carrot cake from this amazing bakery... and (this is the sad part)... by the time I left on Sunday... we hadnt gotten to eat it yet :cry: Can life get any worse! :D

Come to think of it I dont think I have ever showed anyone the stuff she makes...
http://www.facebook.com/pages/East-London-South-Africa/sugarcom/105496222828431
Thats an easy one to look at, check out the photos section and feel free to "like" it. She makes everything that comes out of the shop and its all edible(except for the basses :p)

[Gypsy]

Okay I just expanded by looking at those photos - stunning wow

[Jono]

(which he didn't even recognize until I TOLD him it's a portal cake.)

RB .. :mad:

You didn't sing: "This was a triumph! (http://www.sweetslyrics.com/526302.Valve%20-%20Still%20Alive%20%28portal%29%20.html) ... " instead of: "Happy Buph day 2 U!" did you? Cause that would have been awesome, and forced the point across.

Ooh my favourite part:

Aperture Science:
We do what we must
because we can.

For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
till you run out of cake.
And the science gets done.
And you make a neat gun
for the people who are
still alive.

[Arbythep00nage]

Lol Gero that is still an awesome song I cant wait for the new one to come out.

[Drusky]

I could never eat a tsjokolate cake like that around Rubbertoy. I think it's the random bits that you see embedded in the side view that set my alarm bell ringing. He might be hiding something.

[Gypsy]

Just to keep it going :)

:lol: Drusky, you had me going back to the cake to see what rubbertoy you were referring to, because I seriously missed it. Took me a while... :gno:

[Thumponius]

So much for being the sharp pencil in the box...

Ask that Meg! Maybe it has to do with the fact that it's RB's cake and it's brown? :shrug:

[GeroW4lll]

Will you ladies play "Portal" already so you can understand the whole cake thing?

That is a Portal cake and it's a triumph!

[Voicy]

Ok, it's been EXACTLY a year now since I gave RB his portal cake and still no screenies. :mad:

Also, happy burpday RB! :console:

[Flatty]

The cake is no longer delicious because it's dry. :p

[Thumponius]

Why wasn't it eaten? Is everyone THAT scared of RB and brown things?
