I love the for-sale list on campus. The amount of weird and wonderful shit that people routinely buy and sell is simply fantabulous. Just today, this came up for sale:
Beautiful Hand Made 4 Tier Celebration Cake for Sale
The cake is here on campus.
Freshly baked, chocolate and baileys flavour.
Basically, it was for sale because the chef is going to make a wedding cake for a family member and this is the practice run.
So I bought a cake that would normally be sold for £180 for a fraction of the price :D
EDIT: Oh, and as a side-note, I’m told that the topmost tier would give 8 large portions. We might have cake for a while…
EDIT:
[14:33:24] Joe Foster: heheawesome [14:33:40] Joe Foster: looks like its about to topple over, or is that the design? [14:33:49] Richard Cote: by design, doofus [14:34:23] Joe Foster: i have no idea about wonky cake design [14:34:44] Joe Foster: i am a victoria sponge man, anything more is voodoo to me. [14:36:18] Richard Cote: I should have Katy give you a course in the proper nuances of cake :) [14:37:37] Joe Foster: nuance schmuance, its victoria sponge or gtfo. [14:41:19] Richard Cote: what about lemon? chocolate? chocolate and orange? [14:41:42] Richard Cote: there's a whole world of cake out there to be explored [14:41:43] Richard Cote: philistine!
EDIT: Crap, it has marzipan in it. I was specifically told that it didn’t contain any nuts :(
EDIT: Well, ok. After some cake surgery, I was able to remove the marzipan and shave off the outside layers of the cake. It was a hell of a job and took all of our tupperware to store the results. Jaysus, that’s about 30 pounds of cake!!!
