BTW I am ldging a protest vote.  This thread is totally unfair to untalented, khaki handed cake makers, particularly the ones who leave half of the cake stuck to the sides of the bakinig tin. STOP THE THREAD!

Jean if a mere male can create a chocoholic's delight, surely a superior being of the fairer gender should be able to run rings around them 🙂

Give it a whirl Jean, you might surprise yourself and everyone else too 🙂

Thanks Poddy. That really would be a surprise. Every time I mention to my Husband that I am cooking he looks decidly green around the gills.  Poor man nearly 50 years he has survived. Fortunately our DIL is an amazing cook and she feeds him up when we go to Sydney.

If he has survived for that long you must be doinjg something right 🙂

And cooking is not the be all and end all of a relationship..............but it is a bonus if that is an attribute as well 🙂

"That's not fair Amber. Surely someone here can whip you up one, even a digital one. Everyone has to have a birthday cake."

Thank you Jean 🙂

That's a very kind thought...appreciate it

I have had fun voting. There are some stupendous cakes.





(And I do now have a birthday cake, as a result of this thread, for the first time ever)

"I have had fun voting. There are some stupendous cakes."

But are they stupendous photos? Are we judging photos or cakes?

[amber-eyed-girl]

Well

As they cannot be judged on taste, I have been voting based on how attractive/interesting the cake is.

Taking the thought "birthday cake" as having a priority over the composition of the photo.

But a truly bad photo, would not show off the cake well...so it is related for me that way.

A nice photo and a good looking cake.

Fair enough. I think I've seem a tremendous amount of creativity in the cakes but not terribly much in the photography (and I'm guilty of the same. My contributions are just happy snaps)

Either/or this week is doing nothing to curb my sugar cravings 🙂

And here is one for Joz and others who may not have had one in a while..

While it is not strictly a cake as such it is a pancake

I present Mákos palacsinta (pancake with poppy seed filling)

Enjoy 🙂

Lurk, when you win you can specify the topic stretch the challenge to extract some creativity from the entrants, I'm game 🙂
