I’m a member of a lesbian message board that does something rather unique. We meet in person and socialize with each other. What is also fun about our group is that we know and call each other by our message board names. Mine is simple. SteadyCat.
Holalola thought of having a cake meet and got antsy bakers to whip up something good to share. AJ found a community center that would allow the cake baking women and their many fans to eat and chat until we were full and satisfied.
I was an official taster because as everyone knows, I can’t cook. I won’t cook. I really dislike cooking. But, I’m excellent at eating really good food. There were twenty-two bakers and three tasters expected at the Cake Meet. When I arrived, with my palate set for action, I could barely squeeze inside the room. The fifty people already there looked quite happy as they surrounded the cakes and chatted as if they hadn’t exchanged information just that morning on the boards. There must have been about thirty cakes crowning the table. There was coffee cake, lemon tarts, chocolate cake, brownies and please don’t ask me to name them all because I can’t. Just know that they looked beautiful and tasted divine. I have pictures to prove it.

Such great photos! Looks like you had a great time. Can we do one of those next time I’m in London?
Absolutely, Leka. I think everybody was surprised that the cake meet turned out so splendidly. Can you believe those cakes? I think the next one will be even more bakey fantastic and well worth your traveling over from a different country.

OOOOOOOOOOOH man looks like i missed a good afternoon any ideas when the next one will be ?
Hello, TOE. I think if enough people are nice to Hololola, she will be happy to organize another one.

Hi SteadyCat. All done with painting and moving? I’ve never baked a cake in my life. The platter of cookies look like mine. Yum.
Hi Salty. No, I’m not all done with painting and moving. It has been one disaster after another. Tomorrow I will get my boxes shifted to the new place and the following day, I’ll go. I’ll write a blog about it later but while I’m in the midst of it, I don’t want to focus on it and get too upset/depressed/angry, etc. I can’t handle it at the moment.

Wow! What amazing cakes! Looks like you all had lots of fun. I will definitely try to make the next one!
@Danger Rabbit – The next one may be even better.

I loved the photos and absolutely recoginzed my friend! Gosh…I would have loved to be there…if only to gather up the dishes as everyone was enjoying their tiime together.
I know you don’t like to cook…but I do. I would love to make a Pina Colada Cake. They are big hits anywhere I’ve had the fortune to bring one.
Looks like I missed out on all the fun
Michelle
Your cake sounds delicious. We will have to have a cake meet when I’m back in the states. *sends Michelle my address and a box to ship me her famous Pina Colada cake*
