Ask Anthea

bigbrotherbrolly asked: Unfortunately in war sacrifices must be made and good people or, in this case, cake, must suffer. Suddenly I feel as if we're going to be owing the bakery quite a lot of money after our little war. - MH

All for the greater good, of course. Perhaps I’ll push a few things around, schedule-wise. Sounds like this is going to take a bit more time than 90 minutes.

bigbrotherbrolly asked: I'd like to think that I've been sticking to my diet close enough to warrant a piece of cake. Do remember that if there is any cake-face smashing I will be forced to retaliate. - MH

Is that so? You do realise that would be two pieces of wasted cake, sir. Three, considering I will not be defeated at facecake war. How far will you go for vengeance, Mr. Holmes?

A

bigbrotherbrolly asked: Suddenly I'm worried about eating cake in front of you. - MH

Oh, I wouldn’t worry. Cake/face smashing is reserved for weddings and things like that. Besides, if you’ve got cake at all that means I’ve allowed it - I wouldn’t ruin your rare chance at baked goods, sir. That’d be just inhumane.

bigbrotherbrolly asked: Sounds perfect, I'm looking forward to it. I doubt that the reception is going to go smoothly ( or perhaps happen at all ), but it is best to be prepared in case Sherlock surprises me. Personally I don't see that happening. - MH

Well, reception or not, smooth or rocky, cake is always fundamental for celebrations. I’m hoping they’ll smash it in each others faces, like one of those awful romantic comedy films. About 5% chance of that, but a girl can dream.

A

bigbrotherbrolly asked: They aren't for me, Anthea. I am simply trying to figure out what kinds to suggest to Sherlock and Dr. Watson. Perhaps you'd like to help me decide? So as not to ruin my diet, of course. - MH

Oh, I can tease, can’t I?

Of course, sir. You’ve got an hour and a half free around 2 tomorrow, shall I dedicate that time to cake?

A

bigbrotherbrolly asked: I am going to need several cakes. - MH

You’re not going to need any cake for a long, long time sir.

Yes sir, preferred bakery, flavor, etc etc?

A

What? What’s all this about marriage and civil unions?….

Sherlock?

Really?
