Do you buy SHIT cakes for party bags..and yet

[withagoat]

have a posh one for yourselves at home?
wnet to a party once - amazing cake out
look in party bag and there was a slice of shitty bought one with that VILE icing on it.

is this rude

No. How odd.

i thought odd
and the NICE one was out to be admired

No, but my dd went to a party and they gave a different cake in the party bag. I thought it a bit mean tbh.

Never done that. It's very odd
yanbu

ah! so its common then

sort of, yes
we do have a home made one for birthday tea at home
and send a sainsbo's one into preschool
mainly because i am rubbish at icing and at 4 they want to show their mates something that looks fun rather than tastes good.

oh thats NOT good
and a cake at school = double shit

ALMOST as bad as kid who go on holiday in term time then bring sweets back in

sly gits

Have done this when there has been a 'friends' party and a 'family' party later and the birthday child wanted everyone to see the special (not 'posh' but maybe carefully themed or elaborate) cake.

Not unreasonable when, IME, the piece of cake in napkin invariably gets squashed on the way home then thrown away.

the day i worried about something like this would be the day i packed it all in :)

so you dont CARE about the friends and what they eat then?>

..or its just all about showing off?

I have seen this done also and think it is absolutely pointless and not v classy. I never put cake in a party bag (actually not a big fan of party bags). It's for cutting and eating at the party as part of the tea. Otherwise it just ends up getting all squashed and gooey.

ah, but tea at home is faaaaamily only.i am not doing a birthday party for preschoolers

and no 4 year old wants to eat my delicious but fugly rustic carrot cake when a shop bough Peppa Pig jobby could be had instead

It wouldn't be a horrible cake, just not the decorated one. Actually the decorated ones are usually a dull madeira inside, so the traybake or whatever is probably tastier.

but thats utterly rude
its like having kids around giving them shit and saying " oh well save the best for us"

what terribly working class manners you all have

i have just realised YOU must be eating the cake from the party bags .
only adults value the taste of the cake over the luminescence of the icing.

No. The nice fancy cake is the one that goes in the party bags chez HF.

BUT it's a pita because you spend the last 10 minutes of the party after the candles etc. frantically slicing and wrapping.

i would never give guests to my home inferior food

several years I made them eat the cake there.
was much easier
Specially the year it was a BIG mound of ice cream with chocolate fingers in it.

I'm now waiting for goat to inform me what 'working class' manners are ?

shoving.
not shaking hands.
using your sleeve to wipe your nose.

shouting

"what terribly working class manners you all have"

yup. what with me being working class and all.

Someone I know is about to do this. Cheap traybake for the kids at the party and expensive cake to take home again. But she will show the expensive cake for the candles and singing bit, so the kids all think they're getting that.

I think it's very trashy.

"working class manners"???

can see the logic of it if you want to get the party bags prepared before
I tend to do cake at the party and cake in the bag (I think...)
