I was expecting this thread to be about aliens with a symbiote baking cakes. I am disappoint.
Nice to see I'm not the only one thinking along different lines. Although mine was more of cakes -made- of Jaffa.
Same for both.
JAFFA, KREE!

We all know that pie > cake. Thus, Moon Pie > Jaffa Cake.

I like how the last four tweets on Honeydew's twitter account is about some asshole impersonating the yogscast.

Please link, I can't find this.

Ps. I liked jaffacakes before they were mentioned at yogscast. /hipster

Oh, I wasn't looking at tweets sent to specific persons, I'm still new to the usage of twitter. Thanks!

The name is misleading. Jaffa cakes are awesome. Cake is not. Therefore jaffa!=cake.
Jaffa Cakes are in fact cakes.

Cake goes hard when it goes stale.
Biscuits go soft when they get stale.

Jaffa Cakes go hard when stale, therefore Jaffa Cakes == Cake

So if you made a biscuit/cookie out of cake, it would be immortal?

Wasn't the "Jaffa Cakes aren't a cake" thing a conspiracy theory about them being marketed as cakes to avoid luxury goods taxes or somesuch? Or do I have that the wrong way round?

They were proven to be cakes after that.

And yeah, chocolate biscuits are subject to luxury tax whilst chocolate cakes are not, so McVities had to prove that Jaffa Cakes were really cakes.

And people complain about *our* tax code being too whacked-out.  :P

While this thread IS a fail, it made me think of my favorite kind of cookies: chocolate raspberry cookies. They look a lot like the picture in the first post!

Am I the only one who thinks these cake things look nasty or finds it amusing that we've got several pages of discussion on what boils down to an image dump?
Cakey nom noms are always a worthy subject of discussion.

They're basically apricot and chocolate.  Not much more to say on the matter.
