Inga...Allie Oop said...: It looks like a cracked marble slab, with filled with gem stones. I thought they were soft, but then read they were rock candy. Interesting, but seems like a waste of cake, with that huge gash in it. I bet that buttercream frosting is good. I just discovered another frosting, called Ermine frosting. It’s a type of a butter cream, but based on a cooked pudding and whipped butter. One of the best butter creams I’ve tasted and not difficult to make.; 2/6/18, 4:06 PM
Saint Croix said...: None of the ones I've seen has teeth like that.

It's like a cross between LIttle Shop of Horrors and American Pie.; 2/6/18, 4:06 PM

southcentralpa said...: Okay, Millenials, if your parents had dragged you kicking and screaming to the Museum for your edification instead of caving when you said 'no' and pouted, you would've seen a geode before ...
(I mean, seriously, I looked at the picture before I read the headline and immediately thought "geode". Seriously, people ...); 2/6/18, 4:12 PM

"Why can't a cake with rock candy be refrigerated?"

Sugar is hygroscopic. I'm guessing the rock candy will quickly degenerate into a sticky mess in the humid environment of a refrigerator.; 2/6/18, 4:51 PM
MaxedOutMama said...: What was that Freudian thing? Castration anxiety? Not exactly red velvet, is it? As a vagina, it's a toothed monstrosity. Without being told of that theory, it would never have occurred to me.; 2/6/18, 4:56 PM
Mary Beth said...: I started noticing geode cake photos being posted to the baking subreddit about a year ago. They're pretty and don't look too difficult to do, but I think I'd enjoy making it more than eating it.

When I do a search of reddit for "geode cake" I see that this isn't the first to be posted to r/mildlyvagina.

As for refrigeration, I think they might be concerned that it would be wrapped and moisture would condense as it cools and that would make the rock candy start to dissolve.; 2/6/18, 4:57 PM
Francisco D said...: A patient goes to see a psychoanalyst who gives him the Rorschach test.

The psychoanalyst pointed out that all the patient's answers were sexual in nature. He told the patient that he was over sexed.

The patient replied, "What are you talking about Doc? You were the one with the dirty pictures."; 2/6/18, 5:00 PM
Rick said...: I'm guessing the rock candy will quickly degenerate into a sticky mess

I think making the representation work on multiple levels does make this art.; 2/6/18, 5:04 PM
I Have Misplaced My Pants said...: Inga - I didn't know that was called ermine icing (googled the term and found what you're referring too). I've made it for years and it was always called vanilla boiled frosting in my family. I agree that it's delicious and has a wonderful texture, although it can be a little fussy if it's warm out.; 2/6/18, 5:20 PM

Freeman Hunt said...: The people who mistook it for a body part must have a low opinion of that body part, thinking it's gravel-y.; 2/6/18, 6:39 PM
Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this son of New York said...: For some reason that reminded me of a joke, Freeman, cover your eyes.

A young boy went to a bordello and asked for service, the proprietor tells him:
“Son, you’re too young, go practice on trees and come back in a few years.”
So the kid goes away, and comes back when he is 18.
Proprietor says: “OK take your pick and head upstairs”
A few minutes later he starts hearing a lot of noise coming from the room, moans, grunts, shouts, he says “Wow, this kid must really know what he is doing,” He goes to the peephole and sees the kid using a broomhandle on her. He busts in and says “Kid What are you doing?”
“Checking for squirrels.”; 2/6/18, 7:20 PM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: I agree with Inga. I thought I'd put that out there because it won't ever happen again.
;-)

Cake looks like a geode. with vaginal undertones.; 2/6/18, 7:37 PM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: "Checking for squirrels" - that's perfect and probably something I'll repeat later.; 2/6/18, 7:42 PM

Inga...Allie Oop said...: Pants, yes I’ve heard it called boiled milk frosting too. I’ve made it in chocolate, coffee, vanilla, orange, rum, almond. My family loves this frosting as my mother used to make it when all the grandkids were little. She passed away and none of us girls in the family actually paid attention to how she made it. The now grown granddaughters were reminiscing about Oma’s frosting and I started trying to find a frosting similar to hers and I happened upon the ermine frosting. Voila! It was the same frosting! I’ve made her torte with six layers and the ermine frosting. The cake is a chiffon, which was another learning experience for me.

Now that I’m retired I’ve rediscovered baking, so much fun!; 2/6/18, 8:37 PM
