When does a cake begin?

 

[NJBob]

Yes to all of the above.

 

[BabaVoss]

Clearly you have to have the ingredients first, but it’s not a cake until it comes out of the oven.

When does a cake begin?

After you have baked it approximately 9 months

I just want ice cream.

 

[BabaVoss]

I just want ice cream.

Congrats! Cake is not for everyone.
And it’s no one else’s business.

 

[Allan]

This is not a cake...

 

[Gordy327]

Indeed. Sometimes someone is on a diet anyway.

I like pie.

 

[Gordy327]

I like pie.

Everyone like pie. When I say "I like...," you say "pie."

I would say when it gets to the point you can put a toothpick in it and nothing gooey comes out.

I love this thread

I love this thread

It's gone off the rails. I've reported all the ice cream and pie off-topic posts.

Bingo. Give this man a cookie...(report that, Allan!)

In keeping with my vote on a related subject, I'm going to reject all these options and say when it starts to rise. A cake isn't a cake if you're tasting a mix of raw egg, sugar, and baking powder. But a cake with the little bubbles in it is a cake, even if it's an underdone cake.

 

[btthegreat]

It depends on the temperature inside the oven and whether there is hot air blowing inside while it cooks .

You know what sucks? When the cake comes out stupid and you gotta just throw it in the trash and start over.

Some bakers just spread more frosting on it and serve anyway. That's exactly how my parents handled things, and thus I have a brother!

This should get me in trouble.

The best thing about women is you can have your cake....

But only if they agree to bake it.

I think when the egg and the milk combine the cake is conceived.

 

[soylentgreen]

Cakes begin at conception. It should be up to the state to decide whether it is legal to abort the process once begun and biscuits should be rounded up and deported.

you've never had pudding?

That's an unbaked cake!

Buy a mix, chocolate. Add some chocolate chips, add milk, mix until smooth, refrigerate and eat.
