cake

A year after being handed a 20-year ban on filmmaking he dispatched a documentary with the title "This is Not a Film" to the Cannes Festival on a flash drive stashed in a cake.

I actually struggle to think of a business that would see an employee buzz off to a rival and let them stick around for the afternoon, much less cake and ice cream.

She said festive items were required this year, such as Christmas cake, cranberry sauce, gravy, and chocolate coins for stockings, as well as essentials such as toilet roll, toothbrushes and deodorant.

She had made money from running kids’ camps, creating balloon installations and baking cookie cakes, and was worried the earnings would be lost.

For me, trifles sit in the same category as icebox cakes—slightly chaotic, unexpectedly good and suspiciously easy.
