Today I tried to punch a cake.....

[BloodyUserName]

but chickened out and squashed a finger in a breadcake instead. That is all (for now)

But was it lemon drizzle?

PMT or were you just feeling general rage towards baked goods?

Yeah, a big sweaty lemon drizzle cake!

Oh, sorry about the eggs but you picked on the wrong cake, Victoria sponge is lovely. I could murder a slice.

Or a bakewell tart.

Alas the sponge remains intact, the breadcake ruined and my top has dried egg on it (karma). Not PMT but an odd compulsion I've always had that MN has encouraged me to explore. It's childish but so not like me!!! Lol at sweaty lemon drizzle (reminisces about MN Classics)

I feel so sorry for all these cakes suffering in supermarkets from you MNers. Sat innocently, expecting to hit the jackpot and go to a nice home to be eaten with a cup of tea but instead they're maimed by unruly women I'm glad they don't have feelings

I love thinking about all these respectable middle aged women going about, punching cakes.

I couldn't do it myself, though. I'm not brave enough.

But how do we know they don't have feelings? Can we really be sure?

I've still not had the courage to punch ba cake. However, I do still play the games at the checkout (where you put the divider vertical instead of horizontal.)
Does it count if I sneer and judge the cake

How does the checkout game work?

And less of the middle-aged, I'm still a wee lass

Ooohhh the checkout man in the wine section at morrisons put the divider on the chaos way himself the other day. I eyed him suspiciously, as I wondered if he was a mumsnetter he looked about 18 .

Could you not sit on the cake.

And then serve it to people who deserve to eat a cake that you have sat upon?

Sorry, Bloody, it's me imagining respectable middle aged women - I'm sure some are young, and positively dissolute!

Every time I spot a damaged cake with a yellow reduced sticker on, I wonder if a mumsnetter is responsible

I have to run past the cakes in costco they look so punchable

I turned the till divider round in tesco yesterday so it was longways. Pissed myself laughing while my mum contemplated getting me sectioned

Oh Blondie, that is too horrible/funny!

Ah I understand the checkout game now, I'll definitely be trying that one. I really, really want to squish a big creamy eclair though.

Today I poked my finger all the through a coconut macaroon (large)

DS and I have expanded the Checkout divider theory to Europe....

So far customers in Aldi Swiss, Kaufland, Migros, Co-op, Casino and LeClerc across Germany, France and Switzerland have been incapable of leaving the divider lengthways.

My vice is the Marzipan animals in Migros at Easter and Christmas. I used to go in and squeeze the pigs until their eyes were bulbous. I had to stop shopping there during the holiday seasons.

I have been giggling like an idiot at this thread! Is there a cake punching thread I should be aware of?

Is it an inch punch or a windmilling run up bastard of a punch?

I can feel the satisfaction already

It's all very well punching cakes, but you ought to draw the line at anything with custard and cream on top. Such things are not to be trifled with...

See my name

Lemon drizzle cake per chance?

I squeezed a loaf cake once, but that's as far as I've got. I liked it :)
