My shit is never rude, thank you. How's the baking going? Got your shit together, OP?

Lweji · 22/08/2013 14:30

Maybe she means 20 of these.

That might present a colossal challenge.

Wheresmycaffeinedrip · 22/08/2013 14:34

Perhaps she's struggling to find what to do with the rest of the two days and 23 hours she had left and that's why she's not been back.

Dolallytats · 22/08/2013 14:47

Oh Lweji, I NEED the carrot cake one!! I want cake now.....

StudentFuming · 22/08/2013 15:07

....i'm just going to knock up 20 cupcakes quickly because i really want cake now. Grin

StudentFuming · 22/08/2013 15:09

maybe pinkglitter lives on a tiny island somewhere ..or up a mountain where there are no shops that sell icing sugar...

we didn't think of that....

Lweji · 22/08/2013 15:11

Tibet?

farewellfigure · 22/08/2013 15:26

Those giant cupcakes feed 6-8 and cost $42. They've got to be having a laugh!

I really badly need the peanut butter one though. Sob.

ViviPru · 22/08/2013 15:30

Yeah that one is saying suggestive things to me through the screen too, farewell. Mmm salty.....

farewellfigure · 22/08/2013 15:38

salty and sweet. Oooh

HoneyDragon · 22/08/2013 15:41

Student wouldn't she also be somewhat lacking a customer base too? Thus no need to make cup cakes.

HoneyDragon · 22/08/2013 15:41

I now have a hankering for marshmallow Krispies ....

ViviPru · 22/08/2013 15:42

Salty sweet fan? Get you chops round these

We can pass a bag around on the Mystery of the 20 Cupcakes bench while we wait in vain for the OP's return...

Youcanringmybell · 22/08/2013 15:42

Yes op - please tell us what kind of cupcakes you want to bake?

There must be a shop where you can nip to and get ingredients.

If you make them can you put a pic on your profile?
I love cake porn Cake

StudentFuming · 22/08/2013 15:45

Maybe there is a small cluster of lone houses at the bottom of the tibetan mountain whose inhabitants may occasionally require cupcakes..

HoneyDragon · 22/08/2013 16:11

The BEST sweet and salted popcorn is the big Tescos bag for 80pence. I have concluded this through strenuous and extensive research.

Marshmallow crispies now sat setting nicely Thankyou.

MrsLouisTheroux · 22/08/2013 16:18

That's a good cake honey Who got to chop his head off cut it?

ChippingInHopHopHop · 22/08/2013 16:18

If you don't need 'rude shit' - then don't post 'silly shit'.

You make cupcakes.

You were asked to make 20 cupcakes.

She wanted 10th & 18th decorations on them.

.........???????????????????????.....................

Unless she wanted them made with hand carried water from Lourdes I'm failing to see a problem here.

I don't 'make cupcakes'.

I don't bake these days so have nothing in for baking.

I could make and decorate 20 cupcakes, to professional standard, in 3 hours - let alone 3 days.

I hope to god you aren't trying to make money out of baking cupcakes.

HoneyDragon · 22/08/2013 16:23

The recipient lovingly kept the head in a box. I shit you not.

That went from a pink and purple chocolate sponge, to iced and delivered in well under half and hour. Thank god I store butter at room temp.

StudentFuming · 22/08/2013 16:23

Because of this thread, i've just eaten two packets of biscuits. I hope you are all happy with yourselves...............

I was wondering if that was a boy or a girl, and why would a boy have so many flowers on a cake, until it dawned on me that it must be the Bieber. Dough!

farewellfigure · 22/08/2013 16:26

Mmm salty sweet popcorn. Damn this 5:2 diet. Still staying strong despite there being a tea loaf in the kitchen.
