The legendary mug cake

Long have men sought after the illusive god cake. Legends say that the cakes preparations are simple, take little time (5 minutes in fact) and it tastes better than their store brought counterparts. Regrettably such a cake doesn’t exist in our world; as me and 4 of my friends (Tim, Andy, Chii Shi and Peter) comprehended the hard way. This is going to be a heartbreaking tale of loss and defeat which is easily on par with any of Shakespeare’s tragic plays.

Our spirits were high as we set out on our adventure to create the “mug (god) cake”. We were so keen that we got into the car to buy the ingredients and realized that no one had made a shopping list. This didn’t faze us though as our spirits were high and we had promised our stomachs epic cake satisfaction.

However once we had obtained the ingredients we then had the arduous task of making the cake mix. Usually this would be quite a simple undertaking; except for the fact that we now had to mix it in a mug which made it that much more difficult. Soon after completing our cake mix we became quite disheveled. The realizations that our efforts were going to be in vain were slowly sinking in.

After microwaving and testing about 8 mug cakes we concluded that the effort and time (also the cleaning up) required to construct such a bake good was not worth the level of awesomeness that was derived. Consequently the option of buying a cake from Safeway will be a much more viable alternative in the future.

We then proceeded to play “Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm” on the ps3 as we ate a most unsatisfying cake that was soaked in the broken dreams and tears of young men. We also got smashed by Chii Shi in Naruto.

Moreover, Tim managed to polish off about half a tub of mint ice-cream, an impressive feat that deserves some form of accolade. That boy sure was keen for his ice-cream.
