To pelt my cakes at this mum's head in the playground this afternoon? <fume>

The school are having a cake sale tomorrow and have BEGGED for donations of cakes. They have been Facebooking about how desperate they are all week as they want to make a dent in the £12,000 target needed for some new play equipment in the playground. One might think that flogging cakes at 30 pee each is not the way to make a dent but that's another thing...

I am pushed for time this week but I thought I could do some cornflake easter nests with some mini eggs on top as a quick alternative to baking and frosting two dozen fairy cakes. So I went out and bought the stuff (which I reckon cost more than they will get from the sales tbh) Then I replied to one of the FB begging messages saying "I will bring some cornflake easter nests tomorrow, will have about 40" Then one of the PTA wimmin replied "Ha ha! That's great but be prepared to take most of them home as they don't sell as well as real cakes."

Fuck. You. Bitch.

And to think I promised myself I'd spend less time on MN and not ignore my DCs nearly as much

Fuck that - this thread has broken me.

I actually have butterflies I'm so excited about the "obviously I was being sarcastic - I used that type of sarcasm that no fucker can detect" LDC spies Marmalade at the cake sale selling her choccy cornflakes.

Here I am.
Thunderthighs herself.
Ready to stick my sweaty (unpunched) cake somewhere unmentionable Marmalade.

OK sorry I namechanged to scare you all Grin
I have sooooooo enjoyed this thread, thank you MTwat Flowers

MmeThenardier · 28/03/2013 11:50

Another £20 here if you punch the cake.

Thank you Marmalade, I love you!

Ankle biter....are you quoting mrs doubtfire? :)

Iheartpasties · 28/03/2013 11:29

Oh gawd, fucking hilarious thread.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 28/03/2013 11:28

Great minds think alike, anklebitersmum!!

minouminou · 28/03/2013 11:26

Thing is, LDC woman is in the wrong and is very unlikely to make a fuss in RL.
Also, we're all just embarrassing ourselves by acting like big schoolkids - no-one's been libeled, there's no real threats - it's just a bake-off grudge match.

Most of the input has come from people not even remotely connected with the OP. We're just all piling in because it's funny and trivial, and we all know someone like LDC.

ClaimedByMe · 28/03/2013 11:24

This thread is great, you must buy a slice of said cake and let us know how it is.

My Dc would go right for the chocolate nests as would I btw not a 'proper cake'

Bobyan · 28/03/2013 11:22

buy one!

unwrap and it's all yours!

TBF, I'm not that bothered if I ever get outed. Not saying that no-one should be bothered but I haven't much to hide. My profile is wide open.

bother..x post Blush

anklebitersmum · 28/03/2013 11:19

.."parents are reminded that drawing genetalia on other peoples cakes in the playground is not acceptable and are asked to refrain from doing so in the future"

GetOeuf · 28/03/2013 11:17

Hahaha STDG

It must be bloody horrible to be outed.

KoalaFace · 28/03/2013 11:16

Oh no! That's like a MN version of a scary, campfire story.

Poor Nina you are a tragic cautionary tale Sad

I hope it has all been forgotten in RL now.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 28/03/2013 11:15

It would make a great item for the next school Newsletter:

"Marmelade made nearly £100 for the school cake sale, partly from her delicious chocolate cornflake cakes, but mainly by drawing - ahem - male genitalia on another cake, and then punching it - for which she raised £80 from the wonderful members of Mumsnet."

TolliverGroat · 28/03/2013 11:12

NinaNannar is a MNer who previously got outed in RL, it all went very nasty and tits-up, and now is doomed to sail the seas of MN changing name repeatedly, never able to settle into a single identity. But I'm not saying who.

Blatherskite · 28/03/2013 11:12

You realise, you'd probably make more money from cake punching than cake selling right?

anklebitersmum · 28/03/2013 11:09
Grin

I am howling..what was with the random nit request? Cake punching? Is that akin to a 'run by fruiting?'

You tube needs a video of Marmalade drawing a big willy on LDC's cake

MrsPennyapple · 28/03/2013 11:06

I managed to read this whole thread without snorting - right up to "punch the cake" - I am broken!

MarmaladeTwatkins · 28/03/2013 11:05

I can't, I can't. I tried to make one once and it was just a sour, soggy mess.

A bit like LDM, badum-tish!

Lucyellensmum95 · 28/03/2013 11:03

You can, its the easist cake in the world to make - flour, eggs, sugar, margarine (Butter too hard this weather) lemon rind (I wonder if LDM uses unwaxed lemons - INSPIRATION "Did you use unwaxed lemons to make that, only i find that the wax gives me gut ache" should go down well) Chuck it all in together, mix, bung in dish, chuck in oven til cooked, use lemon juice mixed with icing sugar for he sweaty effect - sorted.
