Baking with Angela and Lauren: Cowboy Suprise Cake
So yeah, last night me and Lauren decided to go on a sugar run to the garage. We spent about £8.50 on nothing but chocolate and marshamallows. Oh yes >:)
Of course we weren't going to just eat £8.50 worth of sugar. That would be silly. Instead we put £8.50 worth of sugar into a cake.
First we made the batter with the usual: eggs, flour, sugar and butter. Then we added marshmallows, fudge, mini chocolate digestives, mini choc chip cookies, a packet of revels and a single aero bubble in the middle.
Here's the top of the cake after we cut the post-baked cake in half. The weird looking bits are cooked marshmallow.
Then came the filling for the middle. First we melted dairy milk and dairy milk caramel and spread it (um, sort of...) on the base. Then we melted marshmallows which we did not spread on top of the chocolate. Believe me, we tried, but if you've ever melted flumps before then you know what the consistency is like. If you've ever seen the Donald Duck cartoon where he tries to make pancake but uses rubber cement, you're on the right track.
Here's some sample photos of our spreading attempts.
And here's how it looked when we eventually finished.
There's actually another aero bubble under all that aswell...
We put the top back on and proceeded in our quest to give ourselves diabetes.
We melted more dairy milk, dairy milk caramel, fudge and threw in the rest of the aero bubbles and spread it over the top. For finishing touches we wedged in fudge and mini cookies as well as crumbling cookie on it.
The finished product.
Some blurred photos of the inside.
Why yes, we were terrified it was going to come after us in the night and demand that we kill it, the abomination that it is ^_^;;
But there was not just culinary crack, oh no. Afterwards we ventured into the interweb and saw some disturbing things in the Rule 34 folders.
And then... there was... Charlie the Unicorn goes to Candy Mountain! Which you should all go watch. We came to the conclusion that the unicorns are me, coffee_boffit and _jeebus_ XD
Oh, and incase anyone was wondering, it's called Cowboy Suprise Cake because everyone knows how much Cowboys love fudge ^_~
EDIT becuase it doesnt warrent a whole new post: laylah is writing some unexpected Tristan/Nickolai. This makes me happy. Sort of. I feel so bad for Tristan! And Nikolai's a bastard. But I can't help but want it anyway because I'm a big peadophilic perve ;_;
