cor. I haven't done AIBU for an age, but I am I know I am (bu) and need some get some get a grips and bridge rebuilding tips.

For the last 3 years I have donated a decorated Christmas cake to the school Christmas fair raffle.

Last night I get an e-mail asking for its weight as THE PTA POWERS THAT BE have decided to put it into a 'guess the weight of the cake' comp and not in the raffle.

I know, OUTRAGEOUS isn't it? Man they have a nerve.

So I sent a few hoity e-mails.

Then I went to bed and had a lemsip and now have realised I am a giant precious-cake arse.

I wasn't around for the high sift first time round, but it is such a fab photo it deserves to be brought out again.

It's all right Poledra. A bit of cake ribbing is good for one.

Your story's sad to tell,
A mid-age ne'er do well,
Most mixed up non-delinquent on the block!
Your future's so unclear now,
What's left of your career now?
Can't even get a trade in on your cake!

Angels: (La lalala lalala lalala...)

Icing school dropout,
No graduation day for slub.
Icing school dropout,
Missed your midterms and flunked flat-top!
Well at least you could have taken time, to wash and clean
your tips up,
After spending all that dough to help you fix the purple mess-up!

Baby get moving (Baby get movin),
Why keep your feeble hopes alive?
What are you proving (What are you provin)?
You've got the dream but not the drive.

If you go for your diploma, you could join a fondant club.
Turn in your piping bag and go back to the pub!

Icing school dropout (Icing school dropout),
Hanging around the corner store.
Icing school dropout (Icing school dropout),
It's about time you knew the score.

Well they couldn't teach you anything,
You think you're such a icer,
But no customer would go to you unless she wants an eye-sore!

Baby don't sweat it (Don't sweat it),
You're not cut out to hold a job.
Better forget it (Forget it),
Who wants their cake done by a slub?

Now your flowers have broke, the cake's a joke, but still the
world ain't nice.
Wipe off that angel face and go and learn to ice.

Baby don't blow it,
Don't put my good advice to shame.
Baby you know it,
Even Dear Abby'd say the same!

Now I've called the shot, get off the block, I really gotta
fly!
Gotta be going to that, cake shop, in the sky!

Icing school dropout (Icing school dropout)
Go back to the pub

do you like how i even got your name in there? it just came to me in a flash of lunacy brilliance. now, of course, i have the song going round in my head.

SnowMuchToBits · 09/12/2010 13:09

Slubber - if I lived nearer to you I would commission one! Xmas Grin

i baked four cakes for the nursery fete.

i left after an hour and not one had sold.

sulk<

i bought someone elses stollen which is indeed delicious, but didn't look showy so i thought might get overlooked. I had hoped to stay to the end but DS had other ideas and cried the whole time we were there...guaranteeing a swift departure once i'd spent our wordly wealth.

tell a lie, i baked five cakes, but my white chcolate cake didn't rise, (too much chocolate in the cake mix) so i kept it at home.

sometime i just wish they'd ask us to give them money without bothering with the charitable acitvites imbetween....
it's still yummy though.

radiohelen · 09/12/2010 13:57

I've given up making cakes for fetes as people don't value them. I spent fricking hours on my cupcakes only to have some wench put a sign on saying 25p each... 25P... WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE RAISING MONEY not pissing it out the window....

Love the purple cake though!
