parents refuse to pay for Christening cake because they think the ornamental bear looks like it has, in MN parlance, a fango.

I'd still eat the cake mind you.

This thread is active all say today, though as it's in chat it will vanish idc www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/2406922-Would-you-be-offended-by-this-christening-cake?

They just missed the 'A' and 'B' blocks off the cake didn't they....Wink

Sazzle41 · 20/06/2015 20:22

Yes it does look like one tbh. I just went and checked the vintage 1920's teddy my Nan left me. No seam there, but one at the back. On my more modern 15yr old teddy i have (present from way back, its kept in a cupboard), no visible seam anywhere that i can see. Odd I think. I'd have been off to supermarket to get some icing for 'the flowers the girl gave them as camoflage that wouldnt stick'.

Usernamegone · 20/06/2015 20:24

The shop offered the lady some edible flowers that could be strategically placed to cover the 'offending' area.

DustBunnyFarmer · 20/06/2015 20:26

Strikes me as a sign of the times. In the 70s or 80s the bear would have needed a resplendent bush to offend and the tiny mark on that bear would barely have raised a murmur.

MissBananaMama · 20/06/2015 20:27

I'd have found it funny. But I also think it looks like lady parts. I'd have asked the bakery to cover the Bears' bums in pink icing nappies.

Fairylea · 20/06/2015 20:28

It does look a bit weird but as someone else said surely you'd just smooth it over? You don't need to complain about it.

I had a cake made for my dds 5th birthday party that was meant to be a Disney castle and the turrets looked like well endowed penises. Pink as well. Mum and I were in hysterics in the car all the way home. The kids didn't have a clue of course and loved it.

Mrsjayy · 20/06/2015 20:32

I had liked somebody cake shop on Fb her minion cakes look like penises Grin

GeorgianaDevonshire · 20/06/2015 20:32

Just re-read the article and realised they are marzipan bears? I thought they were little ornaments. Definitely smooth over! This woman was bvvu!

ghostyslovesheep · 20/06/2015 20:33

I've seen worse Grin

SunnyBaudelaire · 20/06/2015 20:35

yes it looks like a vagina - or as we are on MN should I say a vulva -
couldnt someone just smooth it off?
What's the big deal?
Funny tho'.

Mrsjayy · 20/06/2015 20:37

Penis turrets Shock same cake lady's toy story cake and Buzz lightyears helmet snigger was dropping to the left

Gatekeeper · 20/06/2015 20:42

Bloody hell woman...vaginas are the internal bits..we can't see them from the outside. Mound of Venus, Pudenda, vulva whatever but NOT vagina. It's like saying you have a sore throat when you have a cold sore on your lip

I've had two glassses of wine and am feeling a bit punchy

InSpaceNooneCanHearYouScream · 20/06/2015 20:47

Yeah but vulva's such a vile word!

InSpaceNooneCanHearYouScream · 20/06/2015 20:48

Vulva vulva vulva. See? Yuk.

DustBunnyFarmer · 20/06/2015 20:49

Yeah but vulva's such a vile word!

I can think of worse.

Gatekeeper · 20/06/2015 20:51

It's not a vile word?! Say it in a Claudia Cardinale voice...

hibbledibble · 20/06/2015 20:53

She was given flowers to preserve the teddies' modesty.

Or she could have just smoothed it over.

To complain to the papers is very OTT, and has the opposite effect she anticipated.

BabyGanoush · 20/06/2015 20:56

Idiotic woman!

InSpaceNooneCanHearYouScream · 20/06/2015 20:58

Oh I don't mean 'vulva' is vile in a dirty,sweaty, rude or disgusting way, of course, just that's it not a nice sounding word. Like 'peckish'. Uh. Hate that word.

InSpaceNooneCanHearYouScream · 20/06/2015 21:00

Sweary not sweaty! GRRR
