All I did was state an opinion that’s apparently unacceptable to a lot of you. There’s no rule that anyone who posts in a thread has to agree with the OP. It’s not my fault that a bunch of people decided to read something into what I said that was not there and rail against me for saying things I didn’t actually say.

But there are rules of behavior in MPSIMS. And you’ve already told MsWhatsit to “grow the fuck up”. Here in MPSIMS. Do you consider that appropriate?

You’re right. I shouldn’t have said that. MsWhatsit, I apologize. I retract that statement, and instead I recommend that, if you feel compelled to castigate me for my opinions, please focus on things I actually said rather than things you might imagine I said.
That is a really cool cake, truly a labor of love! I wonder what the gender of the person who made the cake is, male or female? Chronos, the page said the elephants had wire frames, and dowel rods which went into the turtle to support the disc. Look again, the dowels would have had to go down into the cake itself, they weren’t sticking up out of the elephant’s backs, and you can see the little wire bit meant to be the tails on the frames. It was structurally sound.
Ah, I see the person who made the cake is apparently female. I was wondering if it was a doting father, or doting mother. They went all out when the made that cake, I wonder if they have reached that level of work again?

Yes, actually, you will either start a Pit thread or stay out of this one. You’re right in that there’s no rule requiring you to agree with the OP, but there is a rule against not being a jerk–one with which you seem to find it difficult to comply. Your thread-shitting and nearly your entire last post in response to MsWhatsit was out-of-line for this forum; this isn’t the Pit and your ridiculous personal insults are not welcome.
I’d like to know what was used for the coloring. There are of course a wide range of food-grade coloring pastes. These can be blended into fondant, icing, or marzipan. There are also powdered colors that I suppose could be blended with water and painted on.
I am envious of the talent that produced that cake.
I showed the OP’s liked page to my friends who had just made a beautiful birthday cake with modeled grapes and vinery… I think they’re having ideas now.

If she isn’t married, she should be planning one of these cakes now. If she is married, she should get married all over again so she can have one of these cakes.

That cake is cool. Now, all I have to do is persuade Bonzer that a) we have to get married, and b) we have to have one of those cakes. Point b might me a touch more difficult than point a, after all, this is the man who looked at me funny as I started giggling as he described a former co-worker’s wife as a “seamstress” (in the mushroom and socks sense, not the other one).

I<m sorry, Angua, I simply don’t understand that reference. But I admit that I’ve slipped up on reading the latest Pratchett.

I’m not sure which book it comes from, but “seamstress” is used as a euphemism for the ladies of negotiable affection. Further in Night Watch, we find out that there is at least one woman who sews, and uses a wooden mushroom to aid in the darning of socks.

Ah. That explains it. I haven’t read “Night Watch”.
I can hardly avoid coming in to add my “wow” to the roster. I only wish I had the talent to make something that artistic, Civil Guy
I don’t know if I’d try to make one for a wedding cake, being generally opposed to weddings (not marriage, which I like just fine what with the regular sex without having to date and all that), but I’ve long wanted to have a blow-out Discworld party and you could really get talked about having a cake that cool at the center of the table.

It’s so far my favorite Discworld novel. I read it before any of the other watch novels and it made me run out and get the rest of them.
