The Unbearable Lightness of Being Hungry | A Sydney Food Blog

Absolutely Scrabulous

March 18th, 2008  |  Published in Uncategorized  |  2 Comments

Over cute and likeable strums on his track Hiccups, Darren Hanlon sings, “Some day without trying you’ll find something that’s rare/Like an eight-letter word with a triple-word square”. I think this Scrabble cake could well live up to the exceptional standards his lyrics outline. If only I was brainy enough describe this sugary creation with a word that includes high-scoring Scrabble letters ‘J’, ‘Q’, ‘X’ and ‘Z’. In any case, it’s an impressive co-production between Tabitha and Nathan. The colourful gateau celebrates the one year anniversary of the monthly Board Games Night that they take part in.

And the cake also happens to be vegan. Double foodie score!

P.S. More posts to come over the Easter holidays.

  1. Nathan says:

    To be entirely fair and in the interests of full disclosure, the cake tasted dreadful. And butter icing made with Nuttelex is an abomination.

    Just saying.

    (With apologies to vegans everywhere and Tabitha in particular.)

  2. No, you’re right Nathan, it was definitely not my best work. It may even have been my worst work.

    The chocolate cake was completely tasteless and just the thought of the icing makes me want to puke. Puke green.

About

Hi, I'm Lee Tran Lam. When not blogging with my mouth full, I'm usually writing, presenting Local Fidelity on FBi radio, making zines, producing podcasts or continually breaking promises about how I really am gonna get through my book pile one day.

All the good pictures on this blog are by photography ace (and patient boyfriend), Will Reichelt, (all the dodgy ones can be credited to me)!

The lovely banner is by friend and ultra-talented illustrator Grace Lee.

This site redesign was made possible by the next-level generosity and expertise of Daniel Boud, whose code-tinkering ways are only outranked by his seriously inspired way with a camera.

You can read more about my co-conspirators here.

This is a blog I do for pure fun and zero influence – there's no sponsorship, sneaky advertorial or advertising. I pay for all the food mentioned, 'cos it seems the ethical thing to do.
