The main reason for the Beryl cake is that while MFWHTBAB is under enforced sofa arrest with a bad leg, he's got very bored and taken up baking (scooting betwixt worktop and oven in an office chair).
He's also got a bit of a passion for Beryl (people think he comes over to visit me, bless them), so a Beryl cake seemed logical.
It's not so much the Dolly Mixtures being mixed, it's the fact that in the front bag they are mixed with Cola Bottles. We meant to have one bag of each, but the pack of cola bottles turned out to be too small, so we had to fill in underneath.
Funnily, when I turned up at work on my day off bearing CAKE, my boss asked if there was a reason. I think he thought we'd gone and got married on the quiet or something!
