There was an update at 00:44...the cake has not been eaten. Not eaten

ChwatFeechers · 21/07/2015 00:57

They may eat it in the morning.

Mother is undecided.

SabrinnaOfDystopia · 21/07/2015 01:04

Nooooo. That is real In-Law Cake Twattery. Poor OP. Poor cake. Cakes are made to be eaten.

cookiefiend · 21/07/2015 01:06

Thanks- I am glad you saved me reading that thread again! I would eat the cake while everyone was asleep. That would teach them.

Happy36 · 21/07/2015 01:13

No cake has been eaten yet. Probably will taste gross after all this haha. So sorry for the suspense. xx

Happy36 · 21/07/2015 01:14

P.S. I don't really like cake. Usually can foist "my" piece onto children or husband when I can't refuse. But MIL adores it.

sunshinenanny · 21/07/2015 02:25

The Cakethat was never eaten! Brew or Wine I'm off to bed with one or the other! Goodnight

RoboticSealpup · 21/07/2015 03:28

But she did authorise the children to bestow gifts upon her at dinner, right?

LadyCuntingtonThe3rd · 21/07/2015 04:02

Let me just sit here, so I don't have to read that other thread.

ToastedOrFresh · 21/07/2015 04:45

The cake has to be eaten or it won't fulfil it's destiny. You can't have unfulfilled cake with it's destiny denied. It'll start it's own thread, just you wait and see.

The jam sponges will get some support from the doughnuts I should think.

ChaircatMiaow · 21/07/2015 04:52

How has the cake not been eaten? What kind of lunacy is this? I'm agitated thinking of that lovely Victoria sponge sitting in a fridge uneaten.

Cakes are meant to be eaten! That is their purpose!

I think it is the worst MIL thread I have ever read. Right up there with the one who was cleaning the toilet with her toothbrush...

TheHouseOnBellSt · 21/07/2015 07:00

I couldn't be doing with that situation at all. I'd just bloody bring it out singing! Then cut it and scoff before the MIL could say peep. Madness! That people pander to that kind of thing.

NewFlipFlops · 21/07/2015 07:02

Joining this thread as I was so traumatised by this story.
