Ok this is for my Friend Cloud and I would like to ask all my Friends here to come and visit me in Hospital please after I have been caught on this one and please bring some Fruit as the Hospital Food is not that nice but my Friend loves me really
But actually it wasn't my Friend it was her Partner
Ok here we go
Cloud as you know in Darkwings Discussion there was a flying Cake mentioned now please let me tell you I was innocent in this one I was the Victim on the receiving Side actually oh but it was so funny it really was I could not stop laughing just as bad as my Flying Pancake
While Darkwing was here we went to visit a lovely, caring Sweet and so special friend of mine ( I do mean that she is all of that) anyway I am a great lover of Carrot Cake and just for me she baked one and it was lovely. She was a bit upset as it had not turned out the way she wanted it to but that made no difference it was lovely and I was enjoying
Anyway her Hubby pipes up in the Background that he did not want any and had said so lol
Well me who was enjoying the Cake said to him ' Stop complaining and if you don't want it pass it over as I will eat it no probs. Well my Friend had not heard any of this and I was glad about that. Anyway Darkwing and me Where sitting on the Settee and Gissi was lying next to me, next thing he passes me the Cake and it just came flying towards me of his Plate, Gissi moved and my Friends Hubbies Face was a Picture, I started to laugh but then he shouts through, the Cake might be rough round the Edges but it flies well. Well that was it I just creased up laughing it was the way he said it
There was nothing wrong with the Cake it was lovely and I was enjoying it
I just could not stop laughing and of course my poor Friend was trying to find out why I was laughing so much and all I was trying to say and could not say through laughing was that I have never had a flying Cake before of course I set everyone else of laughing again as I just could not stop laughing
Gissi just sat there and looked at me I don't think he was impressed with the flying Cake and then today he got a flying Pancake from me
It was just the way he said it and the look on his Face that did it
I managed to eat the cake eventually when I had calmed down
But I would like to say thank you to my Friend for not putting any cream on it as I would have not stopped laughing at all and probably not been able to clean the cream of me for laughing
So dearest Cloud that is the story behind the Flying Cake
Fruit wise I like Grapes and Cherries please so bring them to the Hospital with you Thank you everyone as I really do not like Hospital Food lolololol

You already have the recipe, Marlyse, you just take a cake, a very distracting house guest, a harrassed other member of the family and away goes the cake! lol.

I can imagine the laughter as I respond to your discussion. I remember the time when my pancakes used to fly when I had try to toss them before catching them back into the frying pan. As long as the floor is clean they still taste as good as the ones I caught.
Have a good catch from Deeeky.

Hmmm. Now, what do do with Gabs, hmmmm.
Firstly, cancel the fruit and flowers, she does sooooooooooooo exaggarate and anyways a) I don't have the energy to thump her, b) it wouldn't work if I did as she is totally fearless and has a short memory and the next day there would be an even funnier story and c) no, gabs you don't get out of writing the book by getting yourself put into hospital.
Right, now we have cleared that up. You are right. You have just dropped Other Half firmly into the mire and he is going to sulk next time he sees you, so don't complain!
Since I am virtually deaf it is nice to know what all that kerfuffle was actually about. Poor darkwing must think she came to a lunatic asylum but everyone did have a lot of laughs that day, didn't they.
I was disappointed with the cake though, it normally rises to about 3 inches depth and this one was as flat as your pancake! It did taste OK though and that I suppose is more important than a nicely risen but horrid cake.
I suppose if I want to sulk about all this flying cake nonsense I could say, next time, bring your own!
lol.

If you are so innocent and loved the cake etc, why are you asking everyone to bring you flowers and fruit when you are in hospital????

Gabs... you're always the innocent one!!! I know THAT time you were, but ohhhhhhhh, his face and his quick comments were sooooooo funny. I had tears rolling down my face. I tried to drink my coffee, but every time I got a mouthful of it and thought about the flying cake, I was off again. How I didn't spray everybody in the room, I'll never know. That would have been crash-landed cake and coffee fire hose. ha ha ha.
Well, as the lady who baked the cake was in the kitchen, and a too far away to hear, I think he got away with that... poor woman... we all kept trying to talk to her amidst feverish laughter, and she was baffled as to what was so funny. She was the only one with a straight face... I'll swear even the birds and Gissi were laughing! ha ha ha.
Good luck, my dear friend... I'll bring grapes, as there don't seem to be an abundance of cherries about yet. I'll leave the bananas... I don't fancy trying to catch one of those in flight, when you unzip it!!! ha ha ha. Love and hugs.

hmmm, the way you are going, knocking yourself out with cupboard doors, slipping and sliding, and you with a banana skin . . .
Get those bananas ready dark wing, you might get that fantasy fulfilled yet!

Hahahaha! I can just see you with the cake flying toward you. I'm sure Gissi now thinks everyone around is absolutely nuts, except for him of course. What with that and the flying pancake, I'm surprised he isn't constantly taking cover under anything possible by this point. I'll make sure to bring a great big basket of your favorites while you are in the hospital. LOL

Don't worry about Gissi, he has excellent reactions and can duck to perfection. He also enjoys sampling all these curious unidentified flying objects lol.
Gabs isn't going into hospital, she is going to finish writing her book, if it kills me!

All I can say is "Thank Goodness it wasn't a Chocolate Cake!" ha ha ha
Just imagine what would have happened if a chocolate cake had flown at you... all that chocolate butter icing everywhere! ha ha ha It's a good job too that Shelagh didn't put any cream on the carrot cake, or there could have been a right mess! ha ha ha

Gabs, now you know what it is like to be on the receiving end for once!
There is no doubt about it: spending time with you would be a ball. OK so this wasn't your doing, but wherever you are, things happen! It must be your contagious happy nature which makes everyone a little more enthusiastic and "out"going, and if it is the cake that flies instead of the laughter, well, that only leads to more laughter.
Thanks for abating my curiosity, but now you have re-aroused my jealousy! How I wish I had been there. Our dream of a garden party is starting to dominate my thoughts every time I talk with you.
And Gabs, I'm not sending fruit, because you won't be in hospital. NO ONE could be angry with you: they are all too busy laughing and being ever so thankful for knowing you and having you for a friend.

Well, actually, Cloud, I am FURIOUS with her for casting nasturtiums as to my possible reaction to her story! She doesn't get away from finishing writing her book so easily, as I can see right through her cunning little plan lol.
And please do not encourage her. I can only imagine the fun and games possible at a barbecue and now she will pester Other Half to have one, and he is a typical man, anything to do with gadgets, fire, burning food, he is there.
Sigh. What have you done?!!!

OK Gabs. The book! Get to it!!! No more excuses! You hear me? Is that better Shelagh?
You get that book written and we'll launch it at the garden party. Did I say "launch"? NO! We'll change that. Only the SALES for your book will fly, NOT THE BOOK!

Oh yes dear me Gissi will wonder what is going to fly next seeing that he is watching everything that normally does not fly start flying around.

Good Grief! This is some new kind of supernatural thing - flying food. You've gone from being a danger to yourself, to being a danger to the ones around you. LOL Flying food! LOL Gissi is going to get fat from eating the flying food, or learn to keep away from you when you are in the kitchen. LOL

Don't you believe a word of it! The Angel has supernatural telekinetic powers! Innocent indeed!
She can do it in any room too, nowhere is safe, so be afraid, be very afraid . . .

You got a point there, raydene, I better go get some paper stuff. The cake flying was an accident, but so could the plate have been. Woe is me, what a worry it is sometimes! Darkwing is lovely but she is powerless in the face of the gabs effect. She laughs so much she is incapable of doing anything at all lol.
I think you can gather we all enjoyed our day immensely :-)

LOL I do like flying cakes also.
I have a story for you. Growing up we had a Brintey Spaniel named Ivan. He was such a great dog, he loved table food and love to swin in the Merced river where we use to live by. One day my mom got a bunch of short ribs out of the freezer to thaw for dinner. We left for the day and left Ivan in the house. When we came home Ivan had eaten all the short ribs.Ivan had never gotten up on the counter and gotten any food off before. We found bones all over the kitchen. We had lots of company coming that night and had to figure out what we where going to serve for dinner.
When everyone left and I went to bed, I did not make my bed, I crawled into bed and touched something cold under my blankets and screemed. We lived in the country so I thought it was a snake. Guess what I found it was a few ribs that Ivan had hidden for later. We started looking and we had short ribs hiddened all over the house. Ivan did not eat all the ribs he saved some for later.
