Okay, students, I’m just afraid some of you might belong in more of a basic, entry-level cooking class.

I say that because when I told you to use a cup of FLOUR in the cake, I was really talking about that powdery white stuff, and not the FLOWERS you use in a freaking corsage!

I also told you to use six yolks, did you have any trouble with that? Oh dear Lord, don’t tell me… Yokes, huh?

And I said to add brown sugar… Hey, where’s my Rolling Stones CD?

This is a tough one. For edibles with names for other things, I only came up with Mace (spice), Lady fingers (pastry) and bear claws. Mixed drinks would have been an entirely different matter.
