Another new creation from Captain Flynn's Electric Circus
These things are selling like hot cakes at the moment. I'm spending a lot of time in my workshop just keeping up with the Christmas rush.
Although I often wonder where that expression comes from........ I have visited cake shops many times, and they only have cold cakes in stock. I have asked if they have sold out of hot cakes already. They just look at me strangely and tell me they don't sell hot cakes. I've tried telling them that maybe they should, as I have heard that are good sellers......... but do they listen?....... :)
"The phrase originated in the 1800s when simple cornmeal versions were sold at church bake sales and snapped up by the congregation before they went cold." one opinion online xx
