A little bit of cake with your frosting?

I LOVE cream cheese icing, it’s my favourite kind. I don’t know about you, but for me, cake is just the holder..the icing is the best bit!

Had a craving for cream cheese icing a few weeks ago, and thought I would make manpet his favourite..carrot cake. Never made it before, so put a call out on twitter for an idiot proof recipe. The lovely Lisa from Spicy Icecream came to the rescue with her favourite carrot cake recipe. Check out her recipe, very noice!

Carrot Cake

Much to my disgust, manpet doesn’t like real carrot cake with proper icing..pfft what does he know. We loved it!

The urge came again this week for more cream cheese icing. So thought I would give banana cake a go this time. Found this recipe on Taste, that site is awesome for the domestically challenged like me. Surprisingly, he didn’t like this one either. Same that..more for me!

Mmm Banana cake

Liquid filled camel balls

Liquid filled camel balls o.ONow doesn’t that just get your mouth watering with delicious anticipation!

Went to pay for my petrol, and spotted these. The display box with this huge picture of a camels balls. I stood stunned for a bit, you cannot be serious? Then I came to my sense and grabbed some..I must blog these!

Every part of these is just so very VERY wrong. The packet for a start, that is one badass camel, with his nose ring and…big balls. But why is he looking so happy? If his balls have been lopped to package up for kiddies to chew on.

You know it’s bad when even the kids are disgusted and after cutting one open refuse to taste it.

V Pocket Rocket

vpocket

Not to be out done by Red Bull, V too has released a new energy shot drink, the V Pocket Rocket.

It sure packs a punch, in this little 60ml bottle there is 160mg of caffine. That is equal to a large 500ml can of V or 2 cups of coffee. Not sure about the dietary supplement claim though?

It appears you are suppose to drink them at room temp, but I put mine in the fridge for a bit.

Now V, you know I love you and I hate to bag you, but..its bloody awful! It tastes like cough medicine.

On checking out their website, the FAQ state “V Pocket Rocket has been specifically formulated for adult consumption which is why we’ve made it taste the way it does.” In other words they made it taste like crap so kids won’t drink it. Umm, ok then.

Certainly does give you a buzz, if that is what your after and you can slam it down quickly to avoid the taste.
