Ah..No need.  The cake can be taken pre-sliced and laid out on a platter. 
There's no one to tell that a slice is missing.


So now we know that all the cakes you donate have a slice missing!!!

Good idea serving it sliced.  Makes it easier to serve.  Better than taking a 
cake that isn't quite right.

I don't seem to be getting any notes from lace-chat. 
Has everyone gotten busy un decorating from Halloween?

Lace and Chat both seem to be very slow arriving these days.  

We had a very quiet halloween, only 10 kids this year.  I am doing my best to 
eat up all the candy as fast as I can to get it out of the house!  This year I 
bought half as much as last year and it was still too much.

Does anyone have a recipe for a cake that will keep for over a week.  I have to 
take a dessert to an event but will be away for most of the week prior to it, 
arriving home in time to go straight out to the party.  I was thinking a Dundee 
fruit cake but the two recipes I have both include mixed peel which I dislike. 
 Any ideas apart from just leaving it out?

Bake a cake and freeze it? Most of my recipes seem to freeze with no 
difficulty, but maybe not fruit cake (which I don't like and so don't make!)

Malt loaf is better for keeping, as is a sticky ginger cake.  Both benefit 
from being made a week in advance.

Mmm, malt loaf sound good, but so does David's Tomato soup cake.  Looking at 
the 
first recipe for malt loaf, I can't remember ever seeing Ovaltine in the 
supermarket over here, but then I don't think I have ever looked for it.  The 
second recipe to me is a bran loaf, but the third recipe might work as I think 
I 
have the golden syrup and malt already.  Maybe I should make malt loaf and 
David's cake to see which looks the best to take, although the one Alice sent 
sounds good too.  Thanks for the recipes.

Janice, Of course you need to make two of each cake so you can taste them 
both before deciding which to take :-D

Alice in Oregon.where gravel is being spread with a bulldozer right now.  
Concrete is to be here Friday.  It's possible that I may get a driveway this 
month.  It will have to set up before being used, so...maybe next month we can 
use it.
