| This is an anniversary/going away cake! |
Meme Express's word of the week is "Nonsense," and nothing is more nonsensical than the nursery rhyme Pat A Cake.
Pat a
cake, Pat a cake, baker's man
Bake me a cake as fast as you can;
Pat it and prick it and mark it with a 'B',
And put it in the oven for Baby and me.

*First off, who pats cakes? The last thing I'd want to do is put my hands in gooey cake batter and pat it. I might pat sugar cookie batter, but not sticky cake.
*Secondly, if you bake a cake as fast as you can, it's not going to taste good. Cake takes time to rise. Haste makes waste, right? I sure don't want my baker rushing the job.
*Finally, how are you going to mark it with a 'B' before you put it in the oven? Why mark it when babies can't even read? I don't know about you, but I use icing to label my cakes.
If you ask me, this chant is
NONSENSE.
Still, it's about a cake. So it has to be good!
ReplyDeleteI never thought about the words that much!!
ReplyDeleteThat cake is awesome!!!
Hmmm, food for thought! I won't pat a cake for sure!
ReplyDeleteTGIF, Joyce!
wow that cake is just too good to be true.
ReplyDeleteMost nursery rhymes are nonsense if you ask me. What about a dish running away with a spoon? Now that's nonsense!
ReplyDeleteMost nursery rhymes are subject to question, including this one. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm posting on Firefox and everything is fine from here.

All I know is that I want to devour this cake!! :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL, I never really thought of it that way, but now I am craving cake in the worst way.
ReplyDeleteI just looked it up. That's how it really goes. My, for all this time I thought it was "Patty Cake."
ReplyDeleteThat is one amazing looking cake!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's NOT patty-cake? I've had it wrong all these years too I'm afraid.
Oh please break your rules. I'm only home for twenty four hours and I'd like a rush order - devils food cake with cream cheese frosting. Slap on a B if you want to but, well, I'll wait at the door.
ReplyDeleteAs I think most rhymes are right? HOw about Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater? Maybe you should dissect that one next!
