What the?!

[blamebrampton]

Watching a documentary in which a person mentions cake.
Mr Brammers: Ooh, cake! Would you like a cake tomorrow? I might bake one. I really enjoy baking cake, and I haven't made one for ages.

…

Mr Brammers: Why are you looking at me like that?
Me: We have been together for OVER SIXTEEN YEARS and this is the first I have heard of this!

Seriously, he has made out that producing toast is something of a trial. If I come home tomorrow and there is a perfect Victoria sponge, I may weep – equal parts delight and frustration.

Sixteen years is a VERY LONG TIME to hide cake-making skillz. I feel he should make one every week for the next sixteen years to compensate.

Oh, I'll not be able to cycle enough to work that off! One every few months ought to do it :-)

[snegurochka_lee]

Ahahaha! I love this post. ♥

Mr Brammers finds VERY SPECIAL ways to keep our relationship fresh and surprising ...

Clearly it's not just women who are meant to be mysterious and hold things back :)

At least the story ended happily with cake!

[waterbird.livejournal.com]

Oh, I hope you get cake!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

It is in the oven even now!

[la-mariane.livejournal.com]

Sixteen years is pretty long time to go without baking if you enjoy it... I hope you get an edible cake out of this :)

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

He has made toast over the time ;-) There is cake in the oven, the batter was good, all bodes well, save that it is hideously late at night!

[jolinar-rosha.livejournal.com]

Hope you do get the cake! Love it! :D

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

He is baking now (sure it's the middle of the night, but we're night people here ;-))

[jolinar-rosha.livejournal.com]

YAY! :D

OMG, men are so annoying!!!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I have to say that it's a lot better than a friend whose husband took 18 years to mention he was gay, but yes ...

Caaaaaaaaaaaaake

It just came out of the oven, at 1.20am, so I'm not up to eating any, but Mr B has not only knocked off a slice, but blamed me for the absence of cream, custard and ice-cream (guess who ate all of the above?)

[mrsquizzical.livejournal.com]

hee!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

He's a terrible man, but I like him :-)

I'm not sure what to hope for here, there will be weeping either way it seems. ;)

Cake! I want some now!

Am reminded of my aunt's trials with 3 teenage boys, each with 2 teenage male best friends who would come over after school; she still claims 9 teenage boys are collectively known as a locust plague. Microwaveable packet cake was her friend; I distinctly remember them having one pantry cupboard full of food and a second stocked only with packets of cake mix, which would be restocked weekly.

I am reminded of this because my cousins still boast of their cake making skills, based on 8 years of this.

I hope you get cake!

[being-here.livejournal.com]

Was there cake?

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

It is 12.51am, there is cake in the oven! I can't envision eating any of it, at least until after I've had some sleep, but still, CAKE!

[being-here.livejournal.com]

At least there's cake though? You could have it with jam for breakfast?

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I was thinking jam, double cream and morning tea ;-)

[karinmollberg.livejournal.com]

Some coming-out!

[chantefable.livejournal.com]

OUTRAGEOUS. Demand cake.

[grey-hunter.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you ought to think about the possibility that he's been switched with an alternate-dimension counterpart without anyone noticing?

[shantismurf.livejournal.com]

I am blessed with a husband who makes a fabulous cake every year for my birthday. I hope yours was good!

[jekni.livejournal.com]

Having a husband who's a professional chef, I get to make the cake! He 'likes a rest now and then' so baked goods (with the exception of his knockout mince pies and sausage rolls) are my purview.

My man baked us chocolate chip cookies this week - except I don't like nuts in my CC cookies, and he likes them soft and cakey while I like them crisp. I smiled and thanked him and gobbled them up (they're COOKIES, after all!!!).
