The Torkie Cake : The Pit and
the Pendulum Halloween madness
Step 1 :
Gather ingredients.
I used 1 box of Devil's Food Cake and 1 tub of chocolate frosting.
The cake is sandwiched together with cream - I added some strong
coffee and chocolate liquor to it.
Step 2:
Enlarge a suitable photo, and draw over main lines.
Cut out lines to make a stencil which will be the guide for
piping the icing.
Place stencil on cake, dust with icing sugar.
Remove stencil carefully, discover that icing has slid off stencil
and is all over the cake, obscuring all guidelines.
Dust off excess icing sugar from cake and throw stencil in the
bin, cursing the damn thing to hell.
Step 3:
Pipe icing onto cake freehand, cursing as you go.
Start getting carried away and add in the Hood and a few lines you
had not originally planned on.
Curse again because it looks worse for it.
Step 4:
Mix up some runny red icing and spoon over the cake edges to cover
up the really shoddy icing on the side of the cake.
Make loads of mess in the kitchen.
Step 5:
Add blue cachous for eyeballs.
Laugh at how stupid this looks.
Get carried away and stud Torkie's name into the cake as well, cursing as the little silver balls slide all over place and you have to carefully pick them up without disturbing the icing too much.
Viola! The perfect Halloween cake that even a Grand Inquisitor would be proud
of. ;-)
Lance's Filmography
A comprehensive filmography is available at
the IMDB. Click here
for a direct link.
This is a list of the films I have seen so far.
The rating is for Lance's performance, which can often be distinct
from the film's rating. I will not rate the films as it is highly
subjective and most of them would be under 5 anyway. :P
If it's got a " - " it means I can't
remember the details. They do tend to blur together after a while.
Lance
is referred to by those in the know as ' the man '. He is a strong,
unique actor with the lowest gravelliest voice you will ever hear.
For
Christmas I treated myself to my very first pieces of pottery by
Lance. The Man is so talented it's scary.
