Daleks, dear heart, are villains in the longest running sci-fi show in the world, Dr Who.
In the series they are not made of cake, but metal, so they look a lot more threatening.
Had they been made of cake they might have been less invincible.
Or maybe not - think Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.
Many people I know make standard cakes. And some are lovely.
And they make their way into the staffroom to muted approval.
I like the unusual and the decorative.
I like being accosted in the corridors by people being amazed at my cakes.
I am a cake whore.
My next cake will be another Bacardi cake (the last I made was in a Bundt ring). I'm going to make it in a bat mould for Halloween.
The staffroom are suckers for chocolate, but they aren't averse to rum either
