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.

I really want chocolate cornflakes cakes now.

Marmalade's been beaten to death with a whisk then wrapped up in the maxi skirt and disposed of by lemon drizzle woman!

I have just eaten three chocolate crispie egg nests from DS's Pre school.
They were bloody lovely

TobyLerone · 27/03/2013 15:51

Cake sales are fucking disgusting.

GreenEggsAndNichts · 27/03/2013 15:49

I seriously want lemon drizzle cake now. Envy

La la la, marking time till Marmalade or Lemon Drizzle gives us an update. Where I live there is a parenting group with frequent tea group meetings full of genuinely lovely people. There is a Christmas party and a summer party. But there is a stern warning in the newsletter in advance that you should please not even consider for a moment bringing mince pies or Mr Kipling cakes because the children (yeah right) do not like them and they do not get eaten. So patronising and off-putting.

And here www.twistedtwee.co.uk is some good stuff.

Best thread for ages! :o
Omg,she can't be one of us....looks around to see who I suspect.

OHforDUCKScake · 27/03/2013 15:46

"I don't think she could find jeans to accommodate her thighs."

Omg if she is reading this then you are braver than me!

Good luck OP, although I think Lemon Drizzle Cake is going to need it more!!

Nomination for Classics going in Grin

LemonBreeland · 27/03/2013 15:36

bran that really is a great way to do it. Especially the morning drop off for people to buy for the office.

Selks · 27/03/2013 15:35

Loving this thread! Grin

I think this is the death of lemon drizzle

Noone will ever make it again at risk of being the lemon drizzle woman from mumsnet

TheSlug · 27/03/2013 15:32

Bran I love that idea!

Been follwoing the thread with interest and almost wetting my pants in the process!

TuftyFinch it's a plan. I can just see us being interviewed by Struth Langford.

"Well Ruth it all started on Mumsnet. Marmalade was livid at Lemon Drizzle about a cake sale. As you can imagine we all rallied around Marmalade. The best inspiration comes to us at trying times. And Cunt Bunting was no different."

fuzzpig · 27/03/2013 15:23

Oh, DrizzleBitch is doing some pretty lame serious backtracking :o

This thread reads like a John O'Farrell novel :o

Katisha · 27/03/2013 15:22

Decorate your cakes with 50p pieces. Sell them for 20p

Genius Tufty!

Might do that at next sodding loss-making-in-real-terms cake sale.

Pandemoniaa · 27/03/2013 15:20

CuntBunting. Now that'd be a very fine username. As would FuckYouCushions. Although if one wished to be very wicked, a namechange to LemonDrizzleWoman could be entertaining.

CamperWidow · 27/03/2013 15:19

Marking place with anticipation! Grin

RubyGates · 27/03/2013 15:18

Do you think she got her lemon drizzle recipe from here?

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 27/03/2013 15:17

She wasn't being sarky. She's just backtracking.

Hope the OP is OK.

Can't wait for the next instalment Grin

Zalen · 27/03/2013 15:15

oops, keep reading PTA woman as PITA woman Grin

TuftyFinch · 27/03/2013 15:15

Let's start a business then Koala. Cunt Bunting. It's a nice oxymoronous name. Like bumble bees.

WhereYouLeftIt · 27/03/2013 15:13

"She wears a maxi skirt every day. I don't think that she could find jeans to accommodate her thighs tbh, unless she starts shopping at lumberjackthreads.com"
Oh MarmaladeTwatkins, you must be pretty sure she's not a Mumsnetter Grin

KoalaFace · 27/03/2013 15:13

I have miles of bunting that I made for my wedding 2 years ago. It's literally a waste of space.

But...if we turn it into Cunt Bunting it'll be awesome. A new lease of life!
