The bit at the end where they gather together with their fans and w**k each other off. I'm not sure what's worse - that a Top Gear porn parody exists, or that you've watched it. Ron Jeremy as Clarkson, presumably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buchan30 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 8 hours ago, Connor1874 said: My daughter, and my partners wee boy just had their birthdays a few weeks ago, only 5 days apart. As an aside, her daughter and my other daughter are 4 days apart. Mother in law makes cakes and she makes good ones, but they sat debating about what to do regards to cakes for the birthdays there. Basically they wanted to have a cake for each of them. She makes pretty big cakes. 2 at once would've been way too much. I told them to just have one fairly generic cake for the 2 of them. Again, it's a cake. It'll be cut up, eaten and forgotten about in a couple of days. Wummin and cakes, man. Honestly. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FK1Bairn Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 On holiday in Turkey just now and been awake since just after 2am due to a Scottish couple on the same floor having a domestic, the female being the one shouting longest and loudest. This went on so long somebody else felt the need to call the cops. Even when the cops were here she was still going at it. Suspect alcohol may have played a part in it all. I dont know if I'm more annoyed at the female or my own partner and son who slept through the whole thing! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at what point does a nice wee cake turn into some ****ing art exhibition? Missus was showing me photos of some cake company's work on Facebook last night. 'How cool is that?', one of them was a huge JCB digger cake for a bairns birthday. Massive I tell you. While I have to say the craftsmanship is impressive, my mind can't help but switch to thinking 'it's a ****ing cake'. How much time and effort goes into making some of these? Let alone how much money gets spent on them? Couldn't really care what it looks like on the outside, it's still sponge with a bit of cream or jam on the inside. Got me thinking about other foods and peoples fixation on presentation. 'Ohh look at this, it's 'Food A' but it looks like 'Food B' or 'look how pristine the plating is on this'. Who actually cares? Granted I don't want my meal to look like the proverbial dogs dinner, but it's about to get demolished and mashed up in my stomach in a few minutes. Just felt I had to rant a wee bit there. Feel better now. Might go get cake. When I worked at TGI's the food had to be, and these were their very words, "Instagram ready". Fuckin boke. Anyway, I'm sure @johnnydun has some opinions on this given his boy is going for a Michelin star. My issue with the JCB type cake is how do you cut it up for the weans without creating a Barney? Bairns are absolute communists when it comes to division of cake and will start a civil war if they get less than their pal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I were to take a guess it would be that the food must look appealing to begin with, to get the mouth watering etc.. build the anticipation. As for the cakes, well it's just a novelty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) One of my ex's used to make and sell these high cost cakes and honestly, they were cool AF. The price point on them was astronomical though. I loved watching them come together though and some of the equipment she used for the edible designs etc were quite pricey. I was always more in awe of the prices she managed to regularly charged for 12/24 cupcakes. Seemed every week, twice a week, shed get an order and absolutely fleece folk for decent enough cupcakes but because they come in a nice box folk would pay about £25/£40 rather than just go to Asda and get a dozen for about £2.
