Bought Dad a classic cream sponge cake yesterday in Morrisons.
£1 Carried it through town as if it was John the Baptist's head on a platter - I didn't trust it to a bag. If you want to attract attention and smiles either carry flowers (as a man) a baby (as a young woman) or a cake (as a... well, as me.) Iced Happy Birthday on it this morning before he got up. And have 7 and 3 as candles. Just means if anyone drops by - and Mum's friends will - they can have a niiice slice-a caaake. And the remainder can go in the food bin tonight because it's fresh cream and won't last and I won't be offended. Breathe. Sorry to bring a non-baking post to a baking thread!

Well done for finding a less-stress-all-round solution

choco, I made a cake like that with merangue on top, but mine had a lemon filling. It was for Mav's birthday if I recall correctly.
It's a yummy way to have a cake. My step mum makes a pie filling with pineapple which I assume is similar to what you've done with your cake. I love cake. lol Today I made a banana cake and iced it with philly cheese chocolate frosting.

WTF, bake anyway. If they don't like it, tough shit. If they won't eat it, give it to a shelter.

Actually, baking some biscuits or scones for the local foodbank probably isn't a bad idea...
... not the same as cooking for someone who will eat it right there and tell you what they thought though.

Even better because positive feedback is almost guaranteed.

Come visit me in Yorkshire. I absolutely would not mind you cooking *grins*
Actually, you are very welcome to come for a visit if you get the chance. I'm sure Ma wouldn't mind carrotchops staying at hers for the nighttime so he isn't tramping about and jumping on the campbed :P

You nearly got me, babbalou.
Had a horrid row with Mum Saturday lunch. Cried til I retched. We made up it, but not until I'd checked out how to get to Halifax. If I wasn't waiting for payday I'd have been there by Sunday morning (Sundae mourning.) Went for silent worship with the Quakers instead. Probably best.

Question for all the bakers. I want to make my mom some almond cupcakes with raspberry filling and vanilla frosting. I have all the recipes, but I have no idea about storage. I want to take them into work and use my co-workers as guinea pigs, but I don't want to give them food poisoning.
After I fill and frost, do I have to refrigerate it or can I keep it on the counter?

If there's real cream in the frosting, refrigerate! Dairy products, left out at room temperature, will grow staph.
It's always safer to refrigerate if you have any doubts.

What kind of frosting is it? As Ortho said, if there's real cream in the frosting, refrigerate. I had once decorated with real buttercream frosting(homemade not the Duncan Hines) and left the cake outside for 3, 4 hours. Still edible.
But I did put it in the fridge later. You can leave Duncan Hines and Pillsbury frosting outside without any problem.

You can actually leave the premade frosting out for days. The raspberry filling though, definitely not. Jars of jelly don't usually have a ton of preservatives in them, not like the processed frosting anyway. Standard picnic times only, 3-4 hours.
