Perhaps I should explain. Yesterday we went to a barbeque which included dessert: an impressive array of bought-in cakes. Mounds of innnominate fat and nuts, cream cheese, sugar, flour and bakers' cocoa1 masquerading as chocolate cake, pbuttion cake, cheesecake and so on, on a table set with large jugs of single cream. About 40 people had to parade to and fro in front of us as they went to get their drinks (and returned), went to get their barbeque (and returned), went to get their dessert (and returned), went to get more dessert (and so forth). Almost without exception, the returnees carried slices of cake swimming in cream. At the table I watched as one carefully poured it over every centimetre of her chocolate cake. Why do they do that? I'd never pour cream on cake -- on a pie, or a steamed pudding perhaps, but not cake. Some cakes deserve whipped cream, but surely not those already covered in icing. The only answer we could come up with was greed, but perhaps we were being uncharitable.
