Cake!

[Bryantiza]

Well, i don't understand why its not already there. You have all the ingredients there, eggs, milk, flour, and what not.
Could just have different cakes...like...nut cake, jam cake.. that sort of thing. Not sure ifcakes has already been suggested as an idea, its just a nice thing i think would be pretty nice to be able to make. Erm well...just post your opinions and tell me what you think....

[steverimmer]

Well we already have an abundance of fruit cakes on the server

[Bryantiza]

oo really? I never saw them on the baking oven...

[Falreign]

Lol not in the oven, look all over Hlint!

I like the cake idea, sweets are the best.

Pie is SOOOOOO much better than cake, and you know it.

[Bryantiza]

pie..cake..*fails to make up his mind* there both SO nice!!

Yeah but back onto a serious matter. Don't you think cakes as an option would be nice.

I mean theres enough ingredients to make loads of different types of cake and it would allow for abit more variety for chefs to cook.

acually my brother chose pie over cake for his birthday...

which is right after christmass (in short, his birthdays kinda suck since most of his freinds are away... so i feel sorry for him)

I happen to think cake is better than pies. Plus, cakes have a nice formal connotation with them. They are at weddings, most birthday parties, as well as various other occasions.

Anyway, they could make roleplaying special occasions easier.

Cake at a wedding?  Who are you people?

Why do you have a cake at a wedding?  Because it's tradition.  And what's tradition, exactly?  It's when a lot of people do something for no other reason than a lot of other people have done it.  I guess you want to get dressed in some fancy-pants clothing you'll never ever wear again, huh?  Oh, and there will be bouquet tossing and such, no doubt, because it's tradition.  "O, cruel Fate!  Wherefore didst I demand mine own kindred to peltest me with rice and/or birdseed?"

If you do something that has no meaning to you personally, then, in the end, what you've done is meaningless.  Why do you insist on cake?  Really think about it.

Personally, I could really go for some wedding doughnuts.  I like the ones filled with that Bavarian goo.  They even come individually sized.  It's automatically one serving.  No need for any cake-cutting silliness.  And didn't you hire a caterer, anyway?  You really ought to let him do the work you paid him to do.

Thinking more about it, I could really go for any doughnuts.  They don't have to come from a wedding.

If you don't want doughnuts, maybe you could try wedding muffins.  They're kind of cakey.  Might help you if you want to take the whole "make your own meaning" thing slowly.  They share the single-serving bonus, too.

And, obviously, you could go with wedding pie.  Since there's more than one serving in a pie (so it's rumored), it can help you with that knife fetish you've got going.  Just don't forget about the caterer; he gets paid whether he works or not.  The best part about wedding pie is it's not covered with that sugary paste like a wedding cake has.  You know, that stuff that causes diabetic comas and tastes awful.  The same stuff people nibble and pretend to enjoy because it's tradition.

But this isn't my wedding.  You can come up with your own wedding goodness.  Or not.  But, for your own safety, avoid the cake paste.

When it comes right down to it, Jennara wouldn't mind whipping up some cake.  I'm sure no one has a problem with expanding the possibilities in the kitchen.  It's good RP.

He, I think we are all missing the most important thing here. Cake is awesome! It tastes good, and has a connation with presents and celebrations. What's not to like?

I can assure you I am wearing pants.

Cake is awesome!

Well, let's agree that it's better than not bad.

It tastes good

No doubt.  Not with that cake paste, though.

has a connation with presents

Honestly, I don't feel that deep in my bones.  If you say "presents," "cake" does not pop into my head.

celebrations.

*cough* Tradition *cough*

[Bryantiza]

Okay people. my original suggestion was for 'cakes' to be added, not so it can be added to 'traditional' events and ceremonies but to offer a wider range of things for the chef to make. After it is made it is down to the person that has the cake to decide what to do with it (I’m sure 99.99% of people will eat it). Try to get away from cakes being traditional and try to think of the possibilities in role-playing it could open up. A sword and shield is 'traditional' for what a knight wears doesn't stop people from going out and using a dagger instead does it?

All foods are traditional in one way or another, pies are traditional to me, as I have it every Sunday with a roast dinner, it happens every week.
Gulnyr, please get your head around your hatred of cakes. As I have already stated although we find it traditional, its not to say that everyone in the world of Layonara will find cakes to be the 'traditional' food at a wedding or other events, it is all down to the in-game characters personal choice and what type of food they love the most. In Layonara, you could currently say that pies are the traditional food for any type of celebration, and all that I was originally suggesting was for more choice for the chef as to what to cook which could open up more role-playing possibilities. We have a wide range of weapons stores and shops that trade things like weapons which are all player made, BUT other than at Leilon arms, there isn't really a stall or specific person who has set up shop who sells food to people for reasonable prices. With more food possibilities that sort of thing would be possible, and cake just happened to be the first thing I realised could be made in the world of Layonara.

Now please, get yourselves away from the idea that if a food is 'traditional' that it is bad and open your eyes to a world of possibilities!

How do these comments help or have to do with anything this topic is trying to acheive?

[Filatus]

I agree. I think we should look at the basics here. First of all, what is cake? Where does pie end and cake start?

To understand this I've been doing a bit of searching around on the topic of cake. One of the interesting things I found is this description of Wikepedia.

A cake is a form of food, usually sweet, often baked. Cakes normally combine some kind of flour, a sweetening agent (commonly sugar), a binding agent (generally egg, though gluten or starch are often used by vegetarians and vegans), fats (usually butter or margarine, although a fruit puree can be substituted to avoid using fat), a liquid (milk, water or fruit juice), flavours and some form of leavening agent (such as yeast or baking powder).

Cake is often the dessert of choice for meals at ceremonial occasions, particularly weddings or birthday parties. In some traditions the bride and bridegroom are the first to eat their wedding cake, often serving each other a piece in their fingers. For birthdays, a frosted (iced) cake, often with inscriptions in frosting and figural decorations, is covered with candles, which are blown out after the celebrant makes a wish.

Now indeed, the latter part describes the ceremonial appliance which as Gulnyr stated, is just a boring tradition.

I concur with him, no need for that on Layo, let's not slice the cake but break the keg, people!

But still, for those interested I have here a list of a couple of different types of cake.

Now when you read "fruitcake", I can imagine some people will think we already have plenty of fruitcakes on Layo. But, I ask you all...

Can you serve Doc Holiday with a cup of coffee? I think not. So more fruitcakes are required.
