    how the hell did they do that?

    I can think of at least two ways.

    I'm assuming the pan used for each layer had some sort of dividers put in for when the batter was poured, or something.

    I can't see the entire inside of the cake from that photo but I'm guessing the upper layer is red in the middle, then a ring around that of yellow, then a bigger ring around that of red, etc.

    Then the dividers could be removed afterwards and the different colors would bake into a single layer.

    Then each layer was alternated, thus a checkerboard pattern.

    seems pretty easy to me!

    two flat, round cakes of each colour cut into three circular rings and nestled into eachother

  • GoatmonGoatmon Companion of Kess Registered User regular
    That sounds much simpler than what I was thinking.

    That's cool. That's not even one of the methods that i thought of. I just was curious how it was done.

    I don't think I'd make it past step 2.
    It'd just be "I now have cake, do I want to eat cake or make them pretty?". At that point, I'm pretty sure my decision would not include prettifying cakes.

    They took something square and made it round.

    No, because if you a properly baking cakes, by the time they come out of the oven you are so full from 'cleaning the bowls' you used to mix them that you have no desire to eat cake.

    You assume there is ever not room for cake.

    You are gravely mistaken.

    I am currently operating under the assumption that "I am too full for <awesome thing>" is just code for "I will not allow myself to eat this through sheer force of will because I don't think it's good for me to do so"

    My wife keeps telling me she can't eat any more because the food is "too rich", and I am still trying to piece together what that could possibly mean. Because all I hear is "This food is too good, so I need to stop eating it", which is the opposite of everything I stand for in this life.

    Yeah, if there's ever a time I'm too full for cake, all that means is I need to reevaluate my eating habits to make room for more cake.

    I'll one up you and toss in two peppermint discs.

    So mad when the stupid customers eat all the mints, leaving me with none to make my mint mocha with.

    I really want to eat, like, an entire battenberg right now.

    Sadly/fortunately I'm at work and won't be finished until after the shops shut. If I'm lucky the urge will be gone by tomorrow.

    Cut two slices of Battenburg, spread nuttela on one side and put together to make a sandwich.

    I can't stand yellow cake, which is of course what makes up 90% of birthday cakes. eh I guess I don't need the sugar anyway

  • VeldrinVeldrin Sham bam bamina Registered User regular
    Yeah I can't stand it either.

    Every single time, everyone is like "just try it, you'll be fine, you'll love it!" and I'm like ugh fine ok and then the next morning without fail I have to deal with the the extra limb growing out of my temple again.

    I'm actually not really a fan of Nutella. I used to like it but I find it sickly these days.

    Also it's battenberg not battenburg, you philistines.

    He leaves the room and shakes his head sadly at the Royal Steward, who nods sympathetically and sends him to The Tower for punishment, then gestures at the next hapless servant. The camera pans around and reveals a lengthy line of hundreds waiting for their turn to try and talk Her Majesty into accepting this limitation, as it continues panning we see a desolate queue of weeping ex-servants awaiting their punishment, the line stretching from the Tower all the way back to the gates of the Palace.

    At the office it became kind of tradition to bring cake on your birthday. That started when we were about 35 people. We are now closing on 90. While not everybody brings something, we have cake at least once a week and when there is some its mostly not one but often 2, 3 or 4 different cakes. In addition to that one of the teams I’m part of comes together for homemade cake every thursday. This week it was a strawberry, cream, almond buiscuit layer cake.
