Can you find a gayer cake?

[henene4]

A friend of mine and his boyfriend are really into baking. They found a recipe in the cookbook that came with their new Kitchenaid. A pink cake with lots of rose stuff (rose syrup, rose liquor and so much more). I even think they said the recipe was called pink cake...
Don't have the recipe, but I got a challenge I have to win: Can you find a gayer cake?

hahaha. It just needs some sparklers and then it would be 100% gay. LOL

This one comes just shy of out-gaying yours, but it's definitely in the neighborhood.

 

[frigilux]

You're right, Joe: Sparklers definitely increase the gay factor of a cake, LOL!

 

[henene4]

That unicorn one though...

But you're right: Sparklers are the cake-counterpart to glitter. Adds just the right quantity of glamor.

Im not posting the rated x gay cakes.. I have pictures of a few.... But this is not the place...Aunt Bee and Betty Lou would loose there mind.. So would Ms. Wilso

 

[henene4]

I can take a lot of stuff in my mouth, but the images of cakes going through my head right now are not on that list...

You want to win.  Oh, pa-leeze dear.  You are easy.  It's a gay cake for sure, but....

It looks like something for Valentine's Day. Wonder what it tastes like?

Why may I ask is a pink cake considered "gay"? Yes, the cakes shown are gay in the traditional sense of the word, but don't see why the cake would be considered "homosexual". That would convey the idea that a man being gay equals automatically liking pink cakes (or anything pink), which is certainly not true.

This not supporting a stereotype, but my group of closest friends and I myself loves jokes like this.
I mean, 3 gay males and straight best girlfriend they all share, having dinner partys, baking together, cakes like this, all via a whatsapp group called 'How about a KiKi?'... We know we are stereotypical, but we celebrate it... Just as we celebrate us being special at the same time.

Every guy who complained about stereotypes to me got my standard answer: 'As long as you don't feel forced into or force people into a stereotype, there is nothing wrong with them. I guess you fullfill at least one common stereotype.' And if you think about it: Could you name one straight male who would choose this decoration style over everything else he could have made? I certanly don't. However, I know some gay friends who would rather go to hell before makeing such a cake.

I further don't get the double mind some people have in our community: We embrace being gay, but as soon as someone labels something as gay, that is a bad stereotype. Again, that's not everybody, but quite a percentage in my experience.

The word or concept of GAY, is always being redefined.

In the 1950s, it was common to say things like "she's a gay one.  Always having fun." or telling your friends to have a gay time.  Nothing necessarily to do with sexuality

 

Then the southern (U.S.) baptists were, as usual, looking for people to victimize, and started to pick on "them gays and ha-ma-SEC-CHU-als."   Gay was used as a negative term (imagine that).  Baptists will of course be going straight to hell for this twisting of the meaning, amongst a large list of other things.....

 

More recently teens can be heard describing non-typical situations as gay.  "She moved to Africa.  That's just so gay". Again, n<span style="font-size: 12pt;">othing to do with sexuality.</span>

 

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">As for the cakes above, gay is being used to stress something that only an <span style="text-decoration: underline;">intricate, detailed person</span> would create.  It's actually a compliment.  </span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">No doubt a considerable percentage of gay cakes are decorated by delightful women named Peggy who are 20 pounds overweight, wear wide rim glasses, are heterosexual, and have 3 kids in school; but still, the cake is gay.</span>

 

 

 

 

This cake might be nice, but it's certainly not gay.  (shhhh, it's probably a box mix)

My comment wasn't meant as a put down to those of you who meet the stereotype of "gay male". It's just that I don't identify with so much of what is purported to be "gay". I think this is the major reason why so many men that like other men don't want to have anything to do with the term "gay".

Thank God for fruitcake!

I guess it depends on how you define gay. If the interpreation is good taste and a feeling for delicate things, that cake scores high. I love the rose petals on it. Did they use rose water perhaps?

 

[henene4]

They used rose water, syrup, liqour and the pebbels... I think...

The recipe is indeed in the cookbook. You can download the PDF files.

The German cookbook:

(Seite 238)

The British cookbook:

(Page 238)

Look at the pages in the cookbook not at the pages of the Acrobatreader.

Apparently this cookbook is not available on the American website. So only metric recipes available.

That little one layer chocolate cake must have been a Jiffy mix with a small packet of stuff that, with water added, becomes frosting. There is something about Jiffy cake mixes that reminds me of IGA Stores in sad parts of Atlanta, even though I have only heard about IGA stores from the family of a Southern Baptist pastor.
