No icing (or frosting, for that matter) on this cake.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
He is damned hot, though. I wonder how he does that. Whoops. They just blew him up.
Heh. I had the same thing! Except I do think he's goodlooking.
We had awesome apricot (?) fruitcake at my parents'. Yummers. This one [link] actually.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
They put icing on it? Ew. Never had that version.

Christmas Cake! You people don't have Christmas Cake?

My Christening Cake was the bottom layer of my parents' Wedding Cake. The hard icing (along with all the alcohol soaked into the fruit) acts as a most excellent preservation agent - you put the cake in a tin and then keep it, and then when you need it again in a few years' time you just remove the icing, put on fresh icing, and there you are with a Christening Cake.

The war is over you know, y'all can lay off the recycling quite so much.
And the blitz, the blitz is done too...

Sorry, Fay, we really don't. But we do have pumpkin pie, so I think we're okay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So what's up with the saving the top layer of the wedding cake custom here then?

That's not for a separate occasion! I mean, it's for a later date, obviously, but the same Event.

I blame the kind of "fruitcake" made by Claxton Fruit Cake [link] for most of fruit cake's bad reputation. It's bad quality candied fruit smushed together into a horrifying sticky block. I've been to Claxton, Ga., and the sign when you enter the town says: "Welcome to Claxton, the Fruit Cake Capital of the World"

Its in a freezer, you pull it out a year later, you scrape off the freezerburn and take a bite, you giggle, you throw the thing away.
You don't re-ice the thing and serve it to guests.
The Gerrys aren't a problem these days either, you know that, right?

ION, I just realized why I've thought it must be bedtime for hours already: Watching several hours of Law & Order when it's already dark out.
