  • Use a bread knife and slowly and gently using a back and forth motion, letting the knife do the work instead of forcing the blade down - simples :wink:

    + 1 for light sawing action to start off with with a serrated edged knife.

    +10 for sawing it down the middle smearing half pack of butter on each half and stuffing it down your face though.

    mmmmmmmmm yum yum yum! A welsh lad at work always brings loads in for me to munch lol

    I do like malt loaf too tho.

    Freeze it, then slice it and let it defrost maybe? lol

    I always squish it. All goes down the same way lol.


    But don't even get me started on Battenburg.

    Sorry but have to disagree, and based on your other posts, along with mine over yet another Naveed post, i have come to the conclusion that you are infact a Marzipan Racist. Its it because its yellow? Eh eh eh!

    Yes youll take the soft spongy goodness but shun the yellow taste sensation.

    I suppose you support Mr Kipling too what with all his cake'ist views?

    Im reporting you to my mum.

    Geordie had it, way back there somewhere.

    Never tried a cheesewire though (probably as I've never owned one), might just do it.

    Alternatively, the Soreen I found open at the back of the cupboard from a few weeks ago sliced just fine without any discernable squish...

    ~ Adolf Hitler on Battenburg Cakes

    Battenburg.png

    Battenburg is a town somewhere in Germany in Hessianland which is, oh, right about the middle. It is divided into the yellow quarter, the pink quarter, the yellow quarter and the pink quarter. The few people that live there are employed by Battenburg Ltd., a large scale bakery operation that produces all sorts of fancy namby-pamby tea cakes. These cakes are exported all over the world and are best enjoyed by wimps drinking tea. Naturally the very best tea is stolen from East India Trading Company ships by pirates. However if supplies of jacked tea are limited, then it may also be enjoyed with unjacked tea but with far less satisfaction to the wimps, and the pirates... but I digress
