Meeting up somewhere in London, on a date near the 10th August.
I propose 16th August - does that work for others?

Birthday Custard Sponge
https://www.nigella...hday-custard-sponge
Uses imitation custard powder, and is a bit complex [notexactly, Aug 10 2019]
Daddy's custard birthday cake!
http://www.tobyandr...e-recipe-kids-join/
Same as the first one [notexactly, Aug 10 2019]
BIRTHDAY CUSTARD SPONGE GATEAU
http://riascollecti...nge-gateau-for.html
Same as the first one. Came with the capital letters [notexactly, Aug 10 2019]
Vanilla custard layer cake, or, "Othello' cake
https://gourmandine...custard-layer-cake/
Finally real custard, but only because powder wasn't available. Lots of ingredients and takes two days, so won't be ready in time. Came with the unbalanced quotation marks [notexactly, Aug 10 2019]
Birthday cake croissant by chef Thiago Silva
https://www.instagram.com/p/BGRq_ZcEH2A/
I don't know if he's released the recipe, and croissants are tricky to make [notexactly, Aug 10 2019]
An unusual and insanely delicious Birthday cake
https://thestonesou...ious-birthday-cake/
This one has (premade) croissants AND real custard in it! And it's simple. Looks like this is the one. [notexactly, Aug 10 2019]

I was thinking of going to Madagascar for a trip.
Could we move the event there? |
|
| |
That would be much more convenient for the Aussie
contingent. |
|
| |
It would be the HB way, to choose a time/location
which is equally inconvenient for everyone |
|
| |
Could do squire, if I haven't fleed the country. |
|
| |
Very generous of you, to get the first round in. |
|
| |
Madagascar. Hmmm...A destination I've always wanted to visit
This would be perfect. (Wake me up when I'm done
dreaming). |
|
| |
If I win the lotto I'll be there. |
|
| |
Perhaps the Canadian contingent can club together to charter a dirigible. |
|
| |
DIY option: summer 'sled' setup--I have a kayak, and can borrow the neighbours' Malamutes. |
|
| |
I'm in for lotto/dirigible. |
|
| |
If we build it... the lotto will come... |
|
| |
I have no training, but I'm willing to pilot it. I also went to school for aeronautical and mechanical engineering (though appropriately only got halfway through the program), so could help a bit to design it. |
|
| |
This is a great idea but I'm not coming, can't let people know I'm a dog. |
|
| |
Instead of Madagascar, I now find myself strangely
attracted to Panama. |
|
| |
_calum- Wow. You went and told em. I'm so disappointed in
you. |
|
| |
This is only a few weeks away. I should be available - any suggestions for a location? |
|
| |
I joined the halfbakery 10 years ago yesterday, so I have been a member for almost but not quite exactly half of its life. Does that count? |
|
| |
As [nmrm] said, video-conferencing |
|
| |
Not until it's certain I won't show up unexpectedly. |
|
| |
There's an unclaimed lotto winner and an unchecked ticket in my wallet
it could happen... |
|
| |
//That would be much more convenient for the

|
| |
But then it wouldn’t be a Summer Halfcon |
|

Marquess of Anglesey (Covent Garden)
Windmill Pub (Clapham Common)
The Colonies (near buckingham palace)
OXO Tower bar
Shakespeare's Head (oxford circus)
King's Head Pub (Tooting)
Ye Olde Mitre (Farringdon)
The Nag's Head (knightsbridge)
The Speaker (st james's park) |
|
| |
Eliminating those narrows it down a bit, but not lot. |
|
| |
Today's the day (by my clock, and the server's)! Here are
some custard- and croissant-themed birthday cake recipes:
[links] |
|
| |
News reports on those suggested areas being
evacuated in
preparation. |
|
| |
Friday then? I suggest The Speaker or The Colonies. |
|
| |
What? This Friday?! I haven't even found my tie or my spats, never mind the hat. |
|
| |
Free play on the lotto ticket... |
|

" the weather’s crap now " |
|
| |
I only spent two weeks in London, so I could be mistaken, but isn't that the default there? |
|
| |
That's the great thing about London weather - you
can schedule a "summer drink" (as the idea title says)
at any time of year |
