Inside the bakery

Not since the halcyon days of Jono ‘the Master’ Marcus has there been such a fervour for table tennis at Cake Towers. However, after a few days of eyeing up the redundant table in the corner of reception, a small but perfectly formed squad of Cakers have reignited the flame (see action shot from last night’s session above).

Yes, that’s right, Table Tennis Tuesday - or Tx3 as the cool kids are calling it - has been born. The concept is simple: Tuesday nights are no longer for slinking off home to check in with University Challenge or Mock the Week..Again (just me then?), but instead scores* of enthusiastic Cakers can be found huddled around the table tennis table in reception honing their skills.

Entry standards are fairly flexible at the moment though to be eligible to join, you must own a garish Pat Cash-style headband. Current plans include an ongoing round-robin league, and a Wimbledon-themed week in June. Applications to: The Sports Secretary, The Basement, Stephen Mews. Don’t be shy now.

This week, Cake has mostly been watching Pot Noodle’s brand new viral - a grittier, more entertaining version of the billion pound (or thereabouts) Guinness ad. You know, the one with the dominoes.

Take a look and let us know what you think.

There are many people out there who think that food is not worth eating unless it comes in a can. After all, could there possibly be a more hygienic, secure and easily stackable way of storing food?

However, the line has to be drawn somewhere and I think it should probably be drawn at cheeseburgers. German campers are being asked to forego the traditional can of beans over a mini gas stove, in favour of this bizarre canned burger, complete with bun, pickles, ketchup and congealed slice of cheese.

Early reports of this culinary experiment are not good, however I am struggling to find any feedback from the German camping population.

Watch this space for the introduction of canned kebabs set to dominate the UK’s post-pub market in the near future.

So, Cake fans, it is my great pleasure to announce a new occasional log to appear on our totally bodacious blog!
