It's odd, but some desserts are just so much better ooey gooey and warm,


Like bread pudding with vanilla-booze sauce!

Recipe?

Unfortunately, I don't have a recipe because I ate that at some restaurant that is no longer in business. But the sauce was like a liquid glaze/icing made from powdered sugar, bourbon, and vanilla.
Sorry.  :sad:

No problem. I'm sure I can experiment and figure it out :) Will post results if I do.

THIS THREAD IS ABOUT CAKE  :argh!:

Yeah well the whole game is about cake.

No, the game is about logic and problem-solving, the cake was just Valve being witty.


That's like saying Sokoban is not about pushing wooden crates.

IN SOME SENSE

YOU'RE BOTH RIGHT WRONG

Definitely easy to improvise--it sounds a lot like my delicious Bailey's glaze, which is powdered sugar, Irish cream, and sometimes some vanilla or a little chocolate.

ANYWAYS:



CAKE! It was beautiful and rainbow. I got a little too excited to serve it, so I frosted it before it cooled all the way and the frosting kinda started slipping off the side and so it was something of a short bus cake, but it was still delicious.

I used Amy Sedaris' vanilla cupcake recipe and adjusted the bake time to about 40-45 minutes to account for it being a cake instead of cupcakes. I also used her buttercream frosting recipe.

I now want Amy Sedaris' cookbook. Like... NEED it. SO GOOD.

Love the look of the frosting, DC!  Much better than my spagarific rendition.  I also lose points because I used boxed/canned stuff because I ran out of fucking time! 

Did you feel like you were eating muppets?  :D

Silly putty, actually. Or play dough, as you said. It was a bizarre experience, and yet lovely. I do so love colored things!

I have half of the cake left...and now because of this fread...I have to have some for lunch.  AND I put some in my kids' lunches!  :lol:

BADGE OF HONOR

The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".

You were more than half-way through by the time GlaDOS mentions that you will be baked and then there will be cake, and in fact, I had that whole quote on my AIM profile for a solid MONTH before it became a meme. I'm such teh trendsetter.  :roll:

That's what they want you to think. But at the end it is revealed that the game was in fact all about cake. Cake beats logic and problem solving any day.
Nature is the great teacher. Who is the principal?
