To have a nice civilized conversation on mum's net. Free from swearing and all other kinds of unpleasantness. Where the topics of conversation are such delightful things as the Queen, tea, cakes and gardening, with perhaps a bit of singing thrown in for good measure. So Ill kick it off shall I, what is everyones favourite cake, mine is a Victoria Sponge

It's possible,yes. It's also probably a bit dull.

Salted caramel cupcakes. I am a sucker for a fad.

Callmedoe · 26/01/2013 10:34

How interesting Pagwatch, I suppose it could be a bit dull but at the same time there is so much conflict about on Mum's net and it would be nice to see some peace, harmony and dignity on the World Wide Web for a change

Cheesecake

Callmedoe · 26/01/2013 10:44

I'm never entirely sure whether cheesecake is classed as a cake or a pudding, anyone else have a view on this? Thanks for contribution though cat girl, its so nice to have wholesome talk on the World Wide Web.

Not many cakes I don't like. Except ones with nuts in. Urgh! And I love a good sing song too. X

CheCazzo · 26/01/2013 10:45

Oooh I made salted caramel cupcakes the other day. Very agreeable they were too!

catgirl1976 · 26/01/2013 10:45

It is more of a pudding really I suppose

If you would like me to stick to cake cake I will say Coffee and Walnut

Callmedoe · 26/01/2013 10:46

Does anyone know a song about cakes?

Brownie girl in the ring. Falalala

A bit of conflict on the Internet is fine.
It saves us beating the children.

EggsMichelle · 26/01/2013 10:48

I think it depends on which board you are on, the postnatal board is full of love!

I don't like cake, but I love cheese cake (had is as my wedding cake!)

SkinnybitchWannabe · 26/01/2013 10:48

My gooey sticky blooming gorgeous chocolate cake but unfortunitely its far too many slimming world syns Sad

Callmedoe · 26/01/2013 10:49

I must confess I am finding this conflictfree talk a tad boring. Would it go against the talk guidelines if I were to go over to a conflicty thread and force cake talk and sing-alongs upon them?

I like chocolate brownies. I like it dirty.

Anyway, with all this cake, if this thread does degenerate then at least we will be well-stocked for a bunfight...

Right, back to the thread. Flowers. They're nice aren't they?

MamaMary · 26/01/2013 10:50

Has to be chocolate cake for me

Followed by butter sponge

Remember Black Forest Gateau? That used to be nice but no one makes it any more...

Callmedoe · 26/01/2013 10:51

I was never a big fan of black forest gateau, too much fruit in it for my liking

OP posts:
Callmedoe · 26/01/2013 10:52

Flowers are nice, I especially like daffodils

There's a Marguerite Patten recipe for a pecan and grand marnier cake with chocolate ganache, it's heavenly.

I haven't had flowers for ages, was hoping or some on my fortieth birthday but none appeared, poor me Grin

meditrina · 26/01/2013 10:59

There's a whole topic for The Royal family (usually tumbleweed central, though). And isn't there one for Baking too?

Don't think ornithologists have their own though - perhaps try The Great Outdoors?

ScentedNappyHag · 26/01/2013 10:59

I can't believe you're all just sat here talking about cake when there's so much else going on in the world! I really envy you if cake is the most of your worries (pa)Smile

ThinkAboutItOnBoxingDay · 26/01/2013 11:04

But only BF mums get to eat cake. FF mums can't eat cake or they get fat. And being fat is evil and wrong.

Pigsmummy · 26/01/2013 11:05

We bad burnt cakes recently, that was a delight, although I am worried about what happened to the birds where she lives

Callmedoe · 26/01/2013 11:05

Ooo ornithology is birds isn't it, we haven't talked about them yet, what is everyone's favourite bird?

I think mine is a Heron

OP posts:
Pagwatch · 26/01/2013 11:08

It's not working is it Callmedoe.

It's sad but true. Outside the topics, we need the venting.

I just read chicken keepers and style and beauty when I need a calm chill out. Although S&B can get fractious.

Stollen
and robins...............never thought I'd use them in the same sentence Smile
