oh you mean marble cake

Not quite. Marble cake is lots easier to do because you make the vanilla batter, pour in the chocolate batter, and swirl it a few times with a spoon or a knife. Zebra cakes depend on having the stripes, so there are like special techniques and maybe utensils for it and everything.

Eris · « **Reply #303 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.

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.

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.

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

KvP · « **Reply #310 on:** 26 Mar 2011, 00:26 »

Jens sent me a gift. A delicious gift, with words.

Metope · « **Reply #311 on:** 26 Mar 2011, 05:34 »

Sean I'm so sorry! The thing was, I have something, but didn't want to send it from Norway since it's so expensive here compared to sending from the UK, but when I got back to Glasgow I realized that I had left the present back in Norway. I'm now back in Norway, and when I leave I'll make sure to bring it with me so I can FINALLY send it! Plus with a little more things to make up for my incompetence. I'll be your not-so-secret Easter Bunny instead, how does that sound?

Oh and when I came back to Norway there was a present waiting for me, I've already said THANK YOU TANIA, but I'll do it again, THANK YOU TANIA, YOU'RE THE BEST AND THE CHOCOLATE WAS DELICIOUS EVEN THOUGH IT HAD EXPIRED WHEN I FINALLY GOT IT. Gonna take pics of all the awesomeness I got later today to show you all.

Metope · « **Reply #312 on:** 26 Mar 2011, 05:53 »

I got my gift - an awesome graphic novel from Matt/BlueKitty.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #319 on:** 27 Mar 2011, 13:47 »

I thought you would enjoy it.

Ozymandias · « **Reply #320 on:** 29 Mar 2011, 21:40 »

That's completely right!!!

Edith · « **Reply #321 on:** 07 Apr 2011, 12:36 »

Hey, I finally came and checked back on here again. It's good to know who to direct my vitriol towards!!

Sean, if you ever decide to send me some Zebra Cakes or anything, you'll need my new address. I moved last weekend.

Lines · « **Reply #322 on:** 07 Apr 2011, 13:08 »

I hope you didn't ask for Zebra cakes. Or actually, no, I hope he sends you Zebra cakes before Liz. It would be funny to watch the carnage.

sean · « **Reply #323 on:** 07 Apr 2011, 14:05 »

edith i fucking swear i am going to send you something and its going to be better than zebra cakes.

there is this cute little general store in shepherdstown that just has a bunch of locally handmade stuff, i was thinking about picking up gifts there, does that sounds good?

Liz · « **Reply #324 on:** 07 Apr 2011, 20:19 »

Sean if you send Edith any Zebra Cakes I will hunt you down.

Edith · « **Reply #325 on:** 08 Apr 2011, 12:50 »

I really just want Zebra Cakes. I've decided.

Liz · « **Reply #326 on:** 08 Apr 2011, 13:10 »

Eed I will hunt you down as well.

You do not want my wrath.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #327 on:** 08 Apr 2011, 13:32 »

No, she just wants your zebra cakes.

Lines · « **Reply #328 on:** 08 Apr 2011, 14:03 »

No zebra cakes for Liz! Long live zebra cakes of Edith!

Liz · « **Reply #329 on:** 08 Apr 2011, 14:21 »
