Woman Baked her Icecream Cake (hey, that rhymes)

[flutes_and_fabric]

Cupcakes aren't flat and smooth. I use a piping bag with a big, usually star, tip for them. Just do a spiral and throw some sprinkles on.

And actually, you did spell "kryptonite" correctly!

I'll have to work on my piping technique. I can do pretty nice flowers and edgings, but for some reason can't do a spiral, but one day I will have cupcake cuteness!...I'm really good at piping frosting into my mouth. Sugar shock ftw! (Don't worry, would never do that with a client's cake.) And yay, I cans spewlses!

She destroyed a perfectly good and tasty Ice Cream cake..there should be a jail for people like her.

Jail seems like a bit much, maybe a good slap in the face.

Nah! Ice Cream Cake destroyer jail should be perfectly accepted in these cases. Where they scrub dried cake goo out of kitchen carpets from here to apocalypse.

It was ICE CREAM CAKE...in its cold, chocolate crunchy goodness. That cake did nothing wrong.

(this is a joke, in case youre wondering)

I can vouch for the fact that this cake is not a lie.

When I was working in an IT training centre for teenagers, I got very excited when I saw that on the menu we had BAKED ALASKA!! Yay, ice cream and meringue, a dream come true for a guy with a sweet tooth.

Then the canteen lady removed the large metal tray from the oven with an oven glove, sloshed the pink and white sludge to and fro, then said "This doesn't look right, does it? Shall I give it another ten minutes?" I was crying inside...

Well, that said, Baked Alaska, like it's name implies, is meant to be baked after assembled. That said, successful ones has two major traits to make it work:

1. REALLY cold ice cream in the center which will soften while it's baked, but will still be solid enough.
2. Insulation all around. Cake on the bottom and a thick layer of meringue around all the rest of it with no dips.

Clearly, it was not made right, which is a crime against ice cream AND meringue.

Right about now I'd be saying something smart-assed about the idiocy of the thought processes behind the decision to bake anything with ice cream in it in an oven.

But I can't. I just can't.

Upon reading this, my brain grabbed it's hat and coat, walked over to the time clock, punched itself out and went outside to hail a taxi.

Someone left the cake out in the oven.
Oh it took so long to freeze it.
NOw I don't think I can make it
Because I wont have the recipe again....


Oh nooooo!!!!

I suspect that the Baked Alaska was not baked correctly. The assembly could have been perfect, but a person who thinks that slushy Baked Alaska needs to go in for longer, doesn't understand how to bake it. She probably put them in at 350 F, because that's what you bake everything at, right? 500 can't possibly be correct, who would bake something at that temperature?

It loses something in the translation. :-) And it's funny to think that the original singer also Played Prof. Dumbledore in the first 2 HP movies.

One of our newbies at my restaurant warmed up a cobbler in the microwave today WITH the ice cream already on it. Mind you I work with adults...........

[Crossbow]

I told a co-worker about this one. His response: "Tell her that she has to bring the entire cake into the store with the box and receipt in order to get her refund. After all, the store needs to make sure she didn't eat 3/4 of it and is just trying to scam them. If she shows up with a sludge filled box and a chunk of carpet, give her the money back. No carpet, no refund."

Damn, now I'm going to have to go find my "T.S.T.L." stamp.....

[MoonCat]

She...BAKED....an ice cream cake.

As a species, we are doomed, my friends. Doomed.

Old people. My grandma got her kitchen carpeted for some ungodly reason.

Being married to a career military man, I've lived in a LOT of rented houses over the years. One actually did have carpet in the kitchen, my first thought was WTF, but actually it was some type of indoor/outdoor carpet, looked pretty decent, cleaned up quite easily, and was actually nicer to stand on for long periods than bare floor. I still prefer bare floor with a rug at the sink or counter, but would rather have the carpet we had there in the kitchen than the shag carpet we've had in the bathroom a few times - one stopped up toilet and you want to just rip it out and throw it away, ick.

So she stood around for a while telling people that we had sold her a frozen ice cream cake. Everyone that came in was laughing about the nut job outside.

And quite right too! She brought it onto herself. Sorry, what part of "ice cream cake" is so difficult to understand?!

The next day the woman who did a lot of wonderful art for the creamery (she likes to use old barn doors and farm equipment as canvas, it's so cool) brought in a new sign to hang over the freezer that says "caution, do not bake ice cream. Will result in carpet destroying soup."

I have a feeling they'll be talking about this for years to come!

F&F, you need to write a book. Seriously, your stories are just hilarious, and you write so well.
