Entry tags:frosting, icing, it is not a waste of butter and sugar, uk

If I knew you were wanking, I'd have iced a cake
Over in [info]hp_britglish, schemingreader makes the mistake of asking what the stuff you spread on top of a cake is called. Hint: It ain't "frosting".

[info]oncelikeshari thinks that butter icing is evil and wrong and should be stopped, or that it doesn't exist. I'm not entirely sure.

Either way, I want cake. :(

Short, but sweet.

I believe, in terms of betting, it is only officially a White Christmas in the UK if snow falls on the roof of the Met Office in London. Since London is in the south, and has its own micro-climate, an official 'bookies must pay out on all the people who bet we would have bet we would have a White Christmas this year' White Christmas is very rare - and often accompanied by three feet up snow 'up north' ;-)

That was hedging towards the serious wasn't it. Sorry. Have cake. *passes over slice of lemon drizzle cake*

London doesn't exist as far as we Up North are concerned ;-)

Yeah, but as far as London is concerned, everything north of the Watford gap is a vague, unsettling nightmare. We're not actually certain of the existence of things outside the M25, unless we need somewhere to commute from.

*misses Newcastle*

*wants a Bakewell tart with a Cherry on top, or possibly a slice of victoria sponge*

But Victoria sponge only has cream and jam, no icing!! Perhaps a little sprinkle of icing sugar counts as a type of minimalist, post-modern icing.

And then you get people like my husband who, as I merrily belted up the M1 away from London, looked up from his map and said: "I had no idea that the Watford Gap was up here. I thought it was at Watford!"

Of course, he'm be a Wurzel and everyone's a damn vurriner to him.

Bakewell tarts with icing are for southern sissies; Bakwell pudding is the real thing!

<Goes off to pine for proper Bakewell pudding.>

For London it's the met. Each city has it's own building, apparently.
