are cakes bun or vica versa or am i having a bad day ......... i need to no:)

A cake cannot be a bun, but a bun can be a small cake!
But a bun can also be bread!

A cake is a sweet.

A bun, unless its an icing bun is a form of bread and is mostly used to house a sandwich filling of some variety.

I hate this argument.

When you are going down the moor, how is it pronounced?

Bread can also be cake. :(
We should simplify things, can someone phone Brussels with some suggestions.

'Cake' and 'Bun' are also American coloquial vernacular for buttocks. Be careful not to request 'hot buns' in the more effete San Franciso establishments.

AJ,
Much as I like you, please, please change your avatar to something else - anything else. The present one is horrific!

You can cut a cake into many pieces and share it around. A bun is a smaller version which comes in many varieties which you eat all by yourself.

What about cupcakes?

I'd say Bun.

I had great fun the other day trying to explain to a German friend how Lunch can be called dinner and dinner can be called tea. She was very confused afterwards and wasn't sure if the tea she was drinking was infact lunch. :confused:

Well, they are cakes. A judge ruled that in court.

Nah!

They're biscuits!

They're cakes - the matter was taken to court by the VAT people who claimed they were biscuits. Biscuits are subject to VAT, cakes are not.

The judge ruled Jaffa Cakes were cakes and therefore are VAT exempt. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Buy one get one free at Tesco right now too! :clap:

In the US a biscuit is more like a thick, sweet soft breadcake which you have with a main meal.

I have many an argument with my bloke cos I say breadcake and he says roll.

He is from Kent and was very annoyed when he had to go to a Chippy in Sheffield and ask for a bag of chips and a breadcake because he insisted on saying roll he got a piece of roe!!! :hihi:
