Oh dear lord - do you see how silly you look?

THIS is a prime example of why I dropped out of hp_britglish

I mean to say, for god's sake.  ICING WANK?

There are no words.

I am also curious as to what they would make of what I would call lemon cupcakes which are topped with lemon icing. These are the main reason I do not physically shop at Sainsburys or Tesco any more.

They are worryingly addictive.

I shall call them lemon-crackcakes.

My friend from Plymouth calls them "fairy cakes" which amuses me no end.

[electricandroid.livejournal.com]

Now you want me to get a pack, tart it up with sprinkles and glitter and mail it off to my gay best friend in Manchester! Preferably on a day he's meeting up with his new beau. Poor man does not know what he's in for!

I have a feeling though that I would die a quick and horrible death if I did so.

Fairy cakes. Hee!

[logophilos.livejournal.com]

Aussies call them that too :)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Yes, fairy cakes! That's right!

[zoepaleologa.livejournal.com]

Jeez this fucking fandom. Existential wank. We wank, therefore we am. Or something like.

I'm pink, therefore I'm spam.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

i know. that comm is one of the worst.

[cruisedirector]

I'm so relieved it's not just me. Especially considering it's my fic in question!

is proud of being pretentious for eating cake with a fork

IF it's so goddamn pretentious and unBritish, I'd like to know why every place you go that serves cake, serves it with a fork!

I'm a 'fingers at home, fork for company' person myself.

[cruisedirector]

Obviously you frequent pretentious restaurants. *g*

[logophilos.livejournal.com]

Yeah, them National Trust Teahouses are the be all and end all in pretentious cake eating :)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I REALLY wanted to leave a comment about the forks, but I didn't want to get into Fork Wars.

[aunty_marion]

"Use the forks, Luke!"

[erastes.livejournal.com]

*hits you *

[catsintheattic.livejournal.com]

Fandom will never cease to amaze me...

Lol.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Nor me! What idiots!

ooo cake

[girluknow.livejournal.com]

Isn't "icing on the cake" an originally British expression?
Icing sounds prettier than frosting anyway. :)
LOL on the icing wank. The only time I eat cake with my hands is when I'm sneaking a piece out of the fridge at 2 a.m.

Re: ooo cake

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I agree - I'm a fork gel myself!

[morgan-lowri.livejournal.com]

Now I'm craving cake.

*goes to make one*

[erastes.livejournal.com]

MAKE ONE!!!?

*impressed*

[morgan-lowri.livejournal.com]

*blinks*

I never knew making cake was such a tremendous feat.

*shares a slice*

[erastes.livejournal.com]

No, seriously. Something I've never done, and will never do - am always impressed by people who can do it.

[rwday.livejournal.com]

You say potato, I say potato...

Can you believe what people will argue about?

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I think this one had me surprised.

[mysid.livejournal.com]

I'm going to glomp chocolate buttercream frosting all over my cake, eat the first piece in public with a fork, the second piece in secret with my fingers (less evidence that way), and be unembarassedly American about the whole thing!

And I'll put royal icing on my loverly cookies!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Yum.

I can't believe you have an icing icon....

[logophilos.livejournal.com]

People will wank over anything. The knitting comms are full of it! Wanking over dolls, pet fish, you name it.

But this is very very special, I have to admit. In a 'special school' kind of way.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I remember hearing someone say that icon comms were wanky, seems incredible to me.

*shakes head.*

[thistlerose.livejournal.com]

Potterdom will never run out of things to wank about. Never, never, never.

Dammit, I want cake now.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I DISAGREE U HOR, THEY WILL - THEY WILL RUN OUT OF THINGS TO WANK ABOUT AND ANYWON WHO DISAGREEZ IS A HOR TOO.

I want a cookie after seening your icon.

[thistlerose.livejournal.com]

I want a cookie too now.

U HOR.

[asphodeline.livejournal.com]

Haha, that's fun!! I saw the question but couldn't be bothered to read the answers - until just now of course.

I just like reading the questions there but can't be bothered answering, people are too precious about their own habits. I like being different and for the record, I LOVE any kind of cake topping or filling :)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I used to reply a lot, because being Ing-er-lish to the core, I like to HELP and I have a rabid loathing of faucets and graduation and gotten, but every time I did reply, some other Brit would contradict me!

grrrr!

[asphodeline.livejournal.com]

Yes, I had the same experience and gave up. SOme people fail to understand that Britain has a certain diversity to it. Gotten is a big nono for me as is toast and boysenberry jam - whatever that is!!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I love Boysenberry. I highly highly recommend it. hard to find, but

o.m. g.

I guess one might say that things have gotten ugly in the confectionary front, huh.
