To Dilwyn: jokes are the spice of life
To Marcel: it did't have BT or sensible serial connectors. But next time I'll ask my brother to add a backplane and some expansion cards... the old school ones, very large

Re: Qookery
I have just ordered such a cake from my wife for my next birthday. So we'll see in 8 months how she does it
Re: Qookery
Careful with the candles (if you remember what happened with that chocolate cake when you were in Wales some years ago!)

Re: Qookery
Since the puns were flying and I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before...
Back in 1991ish, at the Capital Area Timex Sinclair User Group (CATS) we had a White Elephant Xmas exchange. In the end I got a hand made item. It was a plastic window from a small boat. In the window was some puffed wheat with some backing board keeping it in place. It is described as a visual pun or rebus.
So, what is the name for a window on a small boat?
And what is the generic term for something like puffed wheat?
It's a cereal port.
I think I've shown it to a few that have visited my house and it is still in my garage.

Re: Qookery
I would try a QL cake, but trying to get the black icing right would drive me mad.
A Jupiter Ace cake, on the other hand... that might work, though nobody outside a very select part of the Sinclair world would know what it was.
