Polish fans, own up!

// edit: wanted to add answers:
I see there's an obligatory list of questions, there we go!
1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?
It's cute and I thought the name would make up for the acute lack of cuteness in my life

2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.)
OK, guess. Correct, I'm female.

3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?
I'm a 37 year old crone. Location: Poland (I'm not sure what rock variety I have grown on, I have a suspicion it was just silt)

4) do you have good faith that a discworld movie COULD be done well enough not to suck?
NO. whatever they do, it will positively SUCK which would be a SHAME

5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?
Crivens, I don't remember, discworld just somehow stumbled into me years ago and we've been together ever since

6) what's your personal quote of the day?
My favourite professional quote (me being a teacher): He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches. Miss Tick agrees with me upon this subject.

NOW once again, hi everybody!

Mr_Cake was chosen because I am married to someone who...makes cakes.
( For proof see http://homepages.tesco.net/~tony.fisk/wedding/cake.htm and before you ask, yes it is a cake)

Mr - yes

Almost as old as the author himself, and in the wilds of Hampshire, too

We have the technology to make Discworld work on screen. But look what happened to HHGG.........you need ALL the cast to be right, not half

I was intrigued by Josh Kirby's cover art, and drawn in

My quote of any day is "sometimes things that look like things are more like things than things"

or just "Buggrit"

Mrs Cake is Jane.

She has made more cakes than I have had hot dinners (because if there is a cake to be made, dinner is on hold)

A'Tuin was made for our daughter's wedding, and eventually (when we have recovered from it) I will be adding a special gallery to Jane's website to show that cake alone. She will never make another like it...........unless a particular person asks, of course!

Actually, we've been waiting for years for someone to ask for a DW-related cake, and had to rely on our daughter in the end.

Mind you - she was rather emotional about cutting it!

I want to do a Luggage cake. At least there would be lots of cake in it....

Yeah!
The Luggage!
But don't do it hollow, do it with stuff inside, so a)there is more cake and b)it would look cooler.

How did she do all the details and stuff?
With the icing?

The turtle is a fruit cake with marzipan & icing, the front flippers and head are cake and marzipan, and the rear flippers marzipan only. The elephants are marzipan modelled on wire "skeletons" and the disc itself is marzipan and icing on a normal cake board.

My younger son did the base colouring of the turtle with food colours, and Jane finished it off with shimmer metallics. The disc landmass was done with food colours on icing, the mountains being marzipan. If you look carefully, there's even a Wyrmberg somewhere. Rimfall was achieved with liquid icing encouraged to dribble over the edge with a cocktail stick.

Once I get sorted out, I'll get some detail pix on Jane's website for anyone who's interested...

Welcome Mr Cake. That is an awesome cake. Cutting it up must have been heartbreaking.
