truth bombs

icing is a thing that is actually disgusting

some icing is really good tho

I like homemade sheet cake (we call them tray bakes here in the UK) because it seems that people are more likely to be experimental with them, as opposed to regular cakes where generally people don't want to move outside the Victoria/chocolate/coffee & walnut area.

Wow the UK is fucked up

tray bakes

can we googleproof this, the poster is in this thread for gods sake

I love you like a fat kid love the grey slow death of office lyfe

instead of supporting the regime of office cakes we should aim to tear down the office structure and rebuild it from nothing, with cooler cubicles and shit i guess

and better cake

I love coffee cake. They used to have coffee cake at the 24 hour Embers in Midway in St. Paul before it closed. Used to always go there after playing or seeing a show at the Turf Club. Great steak & eggs, or at least great to a drunk 20 something at 2:30 in the morning. One time I was so drunk I didn't realize the cap was off my A1 sauce and I shook the bottle up and sprayed my friends and the booth in back of me.

coffee cake is classic

and rum cakes

imho low qual coffee cake is better than low qual sheet cake

Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting

Brownies are a kind of cake... if you think about it

once had red velvet sheet cake with normal (non-cream cheese) vanilla frosting and it was disgusting and hellish

still had three pieces, sugar is so great

haha

cream cheese frosting generally is so much better than butter frosting

Outside of the sheet cake the Chinatown bakery fruit cake is probably the lowest form of cake

that looks p good tho

Go for the swiss roll instead. You will not be disappoint

i like those sesame bean curd bun things as far as chinese pastries go

they got a nice chew to them

The thing with the Chinatown bakery fruit cake is the frosting is light and airy and also minimally sweetened. The fruit comes from a can usually. I guess it's alright

Maybe you mean these things. One of my favs

my parents always collab'd on a birthday cake for me, chocolate with vanilla buttercream frosting. best cake ever. most cakes get the icing all wrong, whipped cream frosting is savagery imo. cream cheese frosting comes closest to the best, probably. Right consistency and sweetness.

Yah I think those are the same thing more or less. Yours have what appears to be lotus seed paste and mine have bean paste (adzuki bean)

restaurant at the end of the universe shurely

yeah, but especially on red velvet. imo "cream cheese frosting" is an essential element to red velvet and it ceases to be a real red velvet cake without it

The key is the glutinous rice flour, it makes it nice and chewy

You guys know that for cheap red velvet cake they just die the insides of the cake with hair dye. Fucked up

exactly xp

homemade buttercream frosting is delicious on yellow/angel's food cake

so have we decided to like cake again?

mmmmmm hair dye

u get angel's food cake at the restaurant at the end of the universe....depending

I will agree that office cake is disgusting nine times out of ten. preferable to pint sized office cupcakes tho.

Glutinous rice flour is used to make this Chinese cake which is really good. It's more or less the same ingredient as in Korean tteok and Japanese mochi and stuff.

Fucked up and weird how this same ingredient is used in both sweet and savory dishes.

Imagine if they made a sheet cake with glutinous rice flour. You could probably kill someone with it. Or it'd probably get stuck in your digestive tract. Dangerous!!

omg those noodle type units in the middle there are prob the most filling food on earth so heavy

Yah man. If you order Guinness to have with it you may not live to see the sun rise tomorrow.

the thing about sweets is the more bored you are the lower your standards become, so at the office it's pretty much anything goes. A dude brought in greying mallomars and I still ate like five of them.

xxxp look no office cake isnt disgusting just the overemphasised culture around it is

that reminds me i bet blood orange is rly nice on a cake

seems like the 'culture around it' would only really get to you if you hate yr coworkers and yr job

entertainment consuming low quality sweets, gazing into the abyss

In my experience, Mr Kipling makes exceedingly good office cakes.

What the hell is that
