Have You Ever Baked A Cake Beside A Mass Grave?

A wonderful way to while away the hours. See what happens when one unsuspecting soul asks what cake topping is called in the UK.

When you say "cake" to an American we generally think round or sheet cake that is cut into pieces and served to a number of people. The icing is often, but not always, soft, and the cake is eaten with a fork.

BTW: whether a person says "icing" or "frosting" in America is a regionalism. I can't remember which is from where, but it came up in a meme quiz a while back.
