Birthday Brigade

Meeting Eight - Birthday Brigade

Date: 10th December 2009

Place: Cake Brigade Member Faulkner's Unit Base

Members: Polson, Faulkner, Bradley


The primary reason for this Brigade Meeting was to help Linzi make birthday cakes for her Nan and her wand-maker boyfriend, Gregorovitch.

For her Nan, she made a simple sponge, sandwiched with butter cream and decorated with writing icing and a dusting of icing sugar. Plain and simple, because old people like familiarity.


However, with Greg's cake, we were able to go more to town. True to form, we made a Stripe cake. Linzi, knowing her Greggy Boy liked jelly tots, had brought some to decorate the cake with, so Zoe and I convinced her to mix some in with the butter cream, which was much more yummy than we expected. Linzi then decorated the cake with more jelly tots and silver balls spelling out the birthday greeting. While Linzi was showing her creation to her mother, Zoe and I promptly had a contest to see who could eat the most of the remaining jelly tots, resulting in a near vomit fest and aching jaws. Lots of jelly tots are ridiculously hard on the jaws.


By this point, we had made two very delicious looking cakes that we were not able to eat, and so, feeling very sorry for ourselves, we made some flapjack. This made us feel better, along with being able to finish off the jelly tot butter cream.
