**Eonwe** , you’re just jealous because after TorDope 2002 _you_ were my sweet baboo, and now - as I’ve told you - I don’t think of you in that way anymore. _{{sniff}}_ You’re like a brother to me. I love you, man. \*{{sniff}} \* :rolleyes: 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Baker \* > \*_I’ve been meaning to ask, just what \* is_ Queen Elizabeth cake? \*\* It’s a lightly-spiced cake with chopped dates in it, but the main attraction is the topping, which is brown sugar, heavy cream, and coconut whipped together. Heavenly. I seem to recall reading somewhere that it was invented by a Canadian chef - what I _do_ know is that it was invented to serve to Queen Elizabeth (II) on one of her tours - maybe her silver jubilee. I’m in too much of a morning rush to Google. And Google is beginning to suck big time. ---
