Sri Guru dev Asher (Her Holiness)

"I'm not paying £70 for a cake," I said. Not even a Jane-bloody-Asher creation for R's 18th birthday. So, I went and bought the book, Cake-Making the Asher-Way to a Perfect Life, or something, and we ordered all the ingredients, and baking equipment (for we know not what we do) and I said we'd *make* the bloody thing. So we did, with much cursing, and "Oh No it's sticking to the *&^%'ing work surface!" type commentary. Anyhows, when following the instructions to not only grease the cake tin but to sprinkle a little bit of flour on it, I began to suspect our instructor knew what she spake of. And surely, as was prophesied by Guru Asher of the Culinary World, the cake came out whole and square, with Zen-like perfection. All hail Sri Guru dev Asher!
