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've taken her side now because I like scrambled egg. I wish I had some of her cake right now. On toast. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I had totally overlooked this thread. I lost the plot and my bladder control at Punch the cake.

PomBearWithAnOFRS · 28/03/2013 22:45

I did it!
I sidled up to one of those lurid bright green "bombe" dome things on the island rack in Morrisons (near the donuts) and I bottled out of the punch sort of prodded it, viciously until it had a Big Dent in it, and then the DCs and I scarpered down the bread aisle giggling like loons while DH did Hmm faces at us.

MickeyTheShortOne · 28/03/2013 22:14

i am howling at this thread. on my next shopping trip im going to punch a cake Grin

RubyGates · 28/03/2013 21:55

I'm sniggering at the mere thought of cake punching. I'd never be able to do it for real.

TwoPoundCakePuncher · 28/03/2013 21:52

Im pretty sure i wouldnt be able to punch a cake, i would be laughing so loudly... so tearfully faceachngly loud, i would be outed instantly! Grin

WhatKindofFool · 28/03/2013 20:49

Tell her to shove her cake sale where the sun don't shine.

RubyGates · 28/03/2013 20:47

Excellent! Nice outcome there. Although I do have a strange and lingering craving for a proper lemon drizzle cake now.

I should like to take this opportunity to big-up my lovely DIL and her Cross-stitching mad-skillz . I've posted a photo of her latest creation. And yes, it does say. "Pipe the Fuck Down" Grin

DyeInTheEar · 28/03/2013 20:45

I want that tea towel. But DD2 is already a little potty mouth thanks to me and she's not even 3 yet.

eyestightshut · 28/03/2013 20:21

For those of you in need of an abusive tea towel I give you this little beauty

KoalaFace · 28/03/2013 20:14

Ah have been out since 3pm and missed all the action! Dammit!

But getting home and catching up has been delicious.

5 slices! Mahahaha what a sour lemon addled fuck brain!

Yay Marm! You did brilliantly (minus the cake punch failure).

Lemon Cunt Drizzle. Brilliant.

SauvignonBlanche · 28/03/2013 19:18

Lemon drizzle cake murderer.
I got it Horry Grin

TobyLerone · 28/03/2013 19:15

Honestly, 'there is a mole at the checkout' makes me laugh a truly undignified amount. I'm glad someone has verified that it is actually the phrase. A-Level French in 1996 didn't cover turtleheading and the metaphors surrounding it.

And yes. I am the poo troll. Mwahahahahahaha.

HazeltheMcWitch · 28/03/2013 19:09

LDM = LemonDrizzleMaxi

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 28/03/2013 19:07

PO is Professionally Offended, I think. Not sure about LDN, though.

Drywhiteplease · 28/03/2013 19:03

Can someone tell me what a PO is and LDM?
My LCD is a bit like the dribbling penis earlier!
This thread has put me off lemon drizzle cake for good

anklebitersmum · 28/03/2013 18:46

..had to do a quick catch up cos I had to rush round the supermarket as fast as possible go shopping but on the upside I beheaded a brioche bunny and assaulted a victoria sponge while out Grin

HazeltheMcWitch · 28/03/2013 18:39

I have loved lurking on this thread.
And I love even more that Toby used one of my favourite phrases.

But to bring it even more full-circle, do you know another phrase for avoir la taupe au guichet ??

You can also say, in slang: démouler un cake (un-mould a cake)

C'est parfait, non?

pollywollydoodle · 28/03/2013 18:35

i imagine LDC beating one outWink (to the tune of "isn't it alovely day to be caught in the rain")

"isn't it a crappy day to be making a cake- la bloody la la.Angry

you're all making crispy cakes that will ne-e-ver sell.
well it really doesn't matter if you use naice chocolate or smartprice crap,
as long as they are on my stall they will melt in hell..."

absolutely love and will be using mole at the checkout Grin

eminemmerdale · 28/03/2013 18:35

Had a classic moment myself at a PTA 'do' recently only helped as as I was on the bar Woman bossily barges in, and introduces herself. 'So,' she says, 'now you can put a face to the name!' I smiled weakly. 'it's a nightmare,' she confided, 'everyone knows my name, but no-one knows me' I had never heard her name, nor seen her anywhere around the school. Wierdo. Chair of PTA apparently.

Cantbelieveitsnotbutter · 28/03/2013 18:31

Back to LDC I cannot believe she actually had the nerve to not offer you any- thats some cheek!!! Love the fact she knew it wouldn't sell so kept it to one side, surely you'd make two?!?

Lucyellensmum95 · 28/03/2013 18:29

From this thread I have deduced that

A) Bupcakes may have left
B) Horry is LDM
C) Tobylerone could be the poo troll Grin joke

Very sad that no one punched the cake

Cantbelieveitsnotbutter · 28/03/2013 18:27

I love the idea that up and down the country in supermarkets there's desimated cakes as a result of a one punch from a frustrated mum who has read this!!!
AMAZING!!!
