SECRET SANTA 2010: DICKS, DICKS EVERYWHERE
Papersatan:
Zebra cake story time:
I used to work at a supermarket. One day a man in his thirties and a young girl, about 7 or 8, were in the store and approached me to ask for help. With a strong Indian accent the man said, "excuse me, do you have something called... Zebra cakes?" The girl held his hand tight and looked at me with anticipation.
"Sure thing!" I said, and led the way to the prepared snake cake section of the commercial bakery aisle. I pointed to the Zebra cakes and the girl lit up and grabbed a box.
The man, looking somewhat incredulous, and possibly disgusted said "This? this is the thing you wanted?"
"YES!" the girl I love these!
He bought them for her.

--- Quote from: Eris on 16 Mar 2011, 14:54 ---The technique is to just alternate putting dollops of the light and dark batter into the tin. I made it once with a marble cake box mix and it turned out perfectly. I don't know what special utensils would be needed, to be honest, because it's pretty simple.

I dunno, the one time I tried to do it they sort of mushed together most places and didn't actually make stripes, so I figured there was a better way to do it.
Lunchbox:
You probably needed to use a thicker batter.

okay, is this correct? I'm working on making up some consolation gifts to send out now that I've got some free time. If you've sent out your gift or recieved it, just edit it in a quote, it'll be easier for me to keep track of. If you are a santee who has received a gift and you are in the have not list, just cross your name out please.
EDIT: updated the list
