oooh, is that a new Dixie Chicks Album.. bah to not getting to keep track of releases...

will await an ozziview

Rather new (two months?), produced by no other than Rick Rubin (who did the Cash albums on American). He really has a knack for getting everything out of an artist.

I just remembered seeing a scotch egg made with an ostritch egg for the middle. The net is great :)

And I was thinking he'd want something like this...

Remember the Death Star cake I posted a while ago? ;o)

That would be too obvious but with the meat cake, you can hide the meat inside the cake and make the mash look like sugar frosting. ;o)
Also, you could pipe the Alliance and Empire symbols on top instead of the steak. ;o)

Is there anything else that could be used for "icing" instead of Mash? I hate mash.

[diasporal-waves.livejournal.com]

How about real icing? Keep the traditionalists AND the revolutionaries happy.

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Ewwww!

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Mash has the right consistency and texture.
I could imagine you could rig some icing with seasoned cream and gelatine. maybe add some cornflour to hold it together better?

[whiskeylover.livejournal.com]

Mash is going to be the best option, but you can vary the kind of mash...

If you don't like potatoe, you could try mashed parsnips, swedes, sweet potatoes, turnip, etc.- you could even experiment with things like artichoke mousse or houmous- although that might not have the required consistency.

Generally though, the whiter the better- then you can do wonders with a bit of food colouring & (for example) have three tiers in baby blue, pastel pink & lime green, with wonderful 'traditional' decorations on top... much more of a surprise than the T-bone steak on top...

[twentypence.livejournal.com]

Good point, I normally don't like mashed things because of the texture, but I am quite partial to mashed parsnips.

[twentypence.livejournal.com]

I want... but I don't know if I could ever bring myself to eat it. :o)

[zenmeisterin.livejournal.com]

Mmmm... meat...

Making my tummy rumble now. Curses!

[nina321.livejournal.com]

oh my god that looks yummy!

Mmmmm meat cake :D

[twentypence.livejournal.com]

"horribly traditional"?
You do realise you're going to suffer the wrath of autumn_storm for that comment don't you?

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

She already knows that I hate it so I really can't make it worse. ;o)

[twentypence.livejournal.com]

You might think that to be the case, but you've just reminded her, which means you have to suffer all over again.

I have quickly learnt that reminding women of past insults / mistakes is a bad idea, as such the phrase "yes dear" has come to my aid many a time already, and we're not even married yet...

[whiskeylover.livejournal.com]

I shall show you pictures of our wedding cake tomorrow, if you're coming to the pub...

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

I should be there for a while. It's the Avery this week, Bun Shop from next week.

Having been on the receiving end of that culinary treat that is meatloaf, I can, with some authority, say that this sounds absolutely gross.

Now if they'd made a cake out of a steak, that would be something.

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

If you're referring to your average school cantine meatloaf, I'd agree but it's possible to make really nice meatloaf, believe me.
