to want to throw molotov cocktails into CUPCAKE cafes named after small birds

[GetOrfMoiLand]

There is a new one in Cheltenham (ponce town) called the Swallow Bakery.

Staffed by supercilious Diana Vickered hair students who curl their lip when you ask them to clear a table. Don't speak down to me, young lady, you work in a CAKE shop, like Barbara Royle.

£2.80 for a cupcake
£4.90 for slice of chocolate cake
£4.50 for a milkshake
£10 yes TEN ENGLISH POUNDS for a devon cream tea
£6 for tuna carpaccio sandwich.

I took DD in there for a treat (breaking a lifetime cupcake veto) and it made me fume.

Am I a miserable bastard or do I have a point in HATING cupcake business ventures?

I've always thought they were divorce businesses-someone's got a settlement and thinks she'll start a nice little business. They are always chi-chi and twee, staffed by people who think service is below them (they only really opened so all her friends from Pilates could go there, not, you know, oiks...) They don't generally last, although the one near me that sells 'designer' tea towels for £25 is hanging grimly on.

Too funny
?Great Tits? could be subnamed- ?Where we do fabulous cake-cups?

arse
C ake Cups

It was funny when I said it outloud. Please feel free to ignore me

There is a very pink and sad looking cupcake place too in Ciren.

The good cafe shop is near to a fab cook shiop in the arcade - near the Brewery Arts place.

Oooh, where is it?

PMSL at sterry's cake cups debacle

cup cakes?

Do you mean

BUNS?!!!!!!!!

Bloody hate 'cupcake'.

It's a bun ffs.

GOML you collect Drina books?

DH refused to let me call DD2 Andrina :(

hecate - it's a fucking fairy cake.

Oh, the Drinas are paperbacks, and my Wells ones have the pricey ones filled in with reprints. I don't spend real money on them !

Fairy cakes have a proper icing to cake ratio - cupcakes have equal parts ime

Why do people eat them? 1970s American gunk. If this fashion is about teaching kids to bake at least bake something edible. Tch

FWIW the new soft play area in the Brewery does nice cakes, not just the cup variety, but you'd have to be desperate if you didn't have a toddler!

So which Drina books have you got CMOT?

It's a bun.

Don't make me come up there....

bunfight! heh.

But it's a fairy cake. A bun is yeasted. you loon.

maybe it's swallow as it's not obvious they're edible?

Is it good in that softplay? We went to the one out by Sainsburys the other week and it was dire

Drina, Drina dances in Italy, and Dancing year

Its small but good. the one near sainsbos is grim as hell.

food is nice, place is still clean as it is new. the only thing is it gets really busy. i was meeting some friends there with dd1 and the place was so packed it was one in one out with 12 people in front & no way of getting people out, i.e it's not sessional. so had to drag her sobbing away :(

love the drina books, have nearly all of them. the later ones go for a fortune but i just like to reread them in a hot bath

My SIL had a party in that softplay in the Brewery, she really rates it, says that the stuff are really nice and it is not the vomit-covered hell hole that is the place near Sainsburys.

No. They're buns.

And the next person to argue with me goes over my knee...

This place in Bristol is a cupcake shop and I have to say, I quite liked it when I went

Sure it's about small birds and not just instrcutions on what to do with the things?

ahhh but there's nothing like a post-masturbatory cup-cake though is there? That's what you call "having your cake and eating it" I believe

(attempts to blow Aitch's and Getorfmoiland's theory out the window!)

I like the odd cupcake now and again but they never taste as good as they look and they don't hold their own against say a vanilla cheesecake or an iced carrot cake.
