Battenblurb

A problem that we all face is the difficult multitasking and balancing act required whilst reading a book and simultaneously eating Battenburg.

The undisputed king of the cakes, the Battenburg already is a leader in its field when it comes to resolving this issue. The marzipan outer skin does go some way to protecting those pinkies from jam and cake crumbs, for turning pages. However this is not a solution in the long term. Marzipan can too become sticky after prolonged contact with human flesh. What is required is for the comparatively mundane checkerboard cross-section to be replaced with a section depicting words (and possibly pictures), in a similar vein to a stick of rock. The fundamental difference being that the cross-section will change along its length spelling new words at regular intervals. The top marzipan surface can be ruled with a scale, dividing the cake up into individual pages and chapters allowing the consumer to read the end face, and than slice off that page and consume. This can be repeated until the book is finished, or the reader feels sick.
