There is nothing nicer for a special occasion than a cake.
Gingernut cake.
Ingredients
One gingernut
A candle
A candle holder [you will also need a means to light the candle – I would suggest either a lighter or matches. It is possible to rub two boy scouts together but this takes some time].
Method
Take one gingernut and carefully drill a hole in the middle of it. Insert the candle holder and then press candle firmly into place.
Light the candle just before serving and then carry to dinner table. Your guests will probably gasp with delight.
Oooo …… I’ve just noticed that this is my 1000th post – I think I’ll bake a cake! I’m very pleased to say that my post standards haven’t changed over the years - Penfold should be delighted.

Your 1000th post? I’m not sure if I should be arranging a celebration or an arrest… I’ll figure it out… be back in a bit… woooosh…
I’ll await the men in white coats …… *nibbles a gingernut sans candle*
I settled on what seemed to be the most logical choice. I’ve been ‘baking’ for hours, because there’s really only one perfectly fitting way to make this a memorable occasion for you.
Please click here to see what I’ve come up with for you.
This should get you through your next 1000 posts, but only if you’re very disciplined and remember you’re only allowed one at a time! (I hope they don’t go ‘bad’ or anything….)
It was in moderation!!!! – how come you know EVERYTHING.
That is the biggest pile of gingernuts I’ve ever seen ……
I have a problem now though ….. because I’d like to share them with my friends. People can help themselves and if I run out before the 2000th post I’ll just have to suffer [but probably not in silence]
HUGS KISS HUGS KISS HUGS KISS HUGS KISS HUGS KISS HUGS KISS HUGS KISS HUGS KISS HUGS KISS HUGS KISS
I do wish someone would come up with some sort of shorthand for this ……. tee hee
Your ‘gift’ is sitting in moderation… I imagine because there was a linky-poo in it. Now scurry over to the moderation bin and approve the post so you can start enjoying it!
I think you need to remind people to remove candle before attempting to eat and do you have any tips for cutting into even slices….?
Of course ….
Carefully remove candle and carry cake to workshop and slice into even slices using a fine, clean blade in jigsaw. Return to table and distribute [trying not to smirk with pride].
hahahaahahahahahahahahahahaha… *seriously having a massive laughing spree on the floor reading daddy’s comment*
why do you have to be so funny???
oh, anyway… it does cheer me up this morning! 
have exam at 2pm! wish me luck!! 
*continue rolling on floor laughing*
It’s good to laugh …… in most circumstances ….
GOOD LUCK!!!!!
ooh, and i forgot to say happy 1000th post!
silly me!
Thank you …….. silly you *sedate twirl of celebration*
ooh… you will never believe what i did!
i went to tesco earlier, and i went to the biscuits section! and i find out dear ginger nuts on the shelf! 
so adorable!! oh, and of course… i got one packet for myself!!!
P/S: ooh, i bought tesco (brand) ginger nuts, it’s only 39cents but it tastes amazinggggggg!!
for all that it is worth, my sincere congratulations, it is an achievement, the blogosphere has found its daddy!
I’M THE DADDY!!!!!! WHO’S THE DADDY!!!!! …… no ……. really, who is the Daddy? …… *sits down and looks very worried*
The Cowdog…goes ‘moof’.
Happy Blogday!
…daddy.
(Hip checks John) So that’s who’s in my way over here posting at the same time as me. Mush over… I was here first!
Now now you two – play nicely …… and thank you John …… [why is it slightly unnerving when you call me 'daddy'?]
I prefer to think of you as Father (Time)…
Waiting in the wings ……. ready to pounce …… I like that idea!
Did Old Father Time pounce? ……. well this one is gonna …… *stands poised*
help needed – I’m not exactly a diy expert. I’m on my second pack of gnuts – they keep breaking when attempting to drill the hole. I wonder if sticky tape across the gnut before drilling would help? Would the sticky tape sticky stuff be poisonous?
That is a very good tip Kerryview ……. I wouldn’t worry about whether it’s poisonous or not – it’ll sort out the men from the boys ……. I can’t speak for goddesses [I believe it's against the rules nowadays] …
I think if you rub two boy scouts together, it’s interfering with the underage or something, i’n't it?
It depends how they are offered up to each …… like a lot of things …… I would suggest grabbing them by their ears and rubbing the backs of their heads together ………
I fail to see why this recipe has elicited such amusement amongst the assembled multitude. It seems a perfectly reasonable suggestion. It does away with all that messy cream which can clog up the most careful of beards and mustachios!
Obviously there aren’t enough goddesses around here with facial hair ……. or manly men …….
and I must say you din’t look a day over 999 [the grey hair and lack of some peggies does give it away a bit though]
Fabulous cake btw although not enough for all your avid readers thank goodness for Dear Fracretary … a sterling present indeed…..
Oh came across this .. maybe it is something you would like to try … it may contain sherry hic!!

[see what you have done I have stooped to googling gingernut cake recipes....tsk....]
& just before I go it is F-R-I-D-A-Y…. yeeeeaaahhhhhh
Oh dear – that recipe looks rather good …. competition! …… and yes, indeed it is Friday …… not that it makes any difference to me at all ….. tee hee
I think excess of it may make you chuck….
Oh you so must buy some Friday feeling I am sure Eeebygum may have some for sale
Every day is like a Friday to me …… my cup runneth over with the joy of living ….. in many ways.
Now …… you have a lovely time ….. I’d suggest some cocoa and perhaps one or two Pringles to celebrate …….
don’t be offended if I reject/ pass/ totally throw your suggestion out of the window and replace it with a fine wine/ a good meal and pyjamas …. bliss
Have it your own way ……. typiCAL ……
If you find two mature boy scouts, I’ll take the time to rub them together
I knew I could rely on you Nursey …….
Happy Milleniblog!
I’m about to go into a ginger cake baking frenzy myself, i’ll send you one by carrier ferret.
Lovely ……. I’ll put out the nets straight away ……. ta very much GW
Thoroughly…
I do wish you’d learn to be brief ………
This candle represents your COURAGE – to confront your sorrow, your grief, the ladies you have laid to rest. May you light 1000 more
….. and may your hemorrhoids behave, work evaporate and all the bees drown in canned tomatoes Walt ….
