Now I like a joke as much as the next person. I even find those kids toys that poo and fart that are all the rage now marginally funny.

But this has to be one of the nastiest cakes I've seen! Other cake fails anyone?

(Sorry if there's already a 'gross cake' thread but I couldn't find it.)

No, the cake was a massive shit, surely, and we were all pretty horrified. Fair comment, I say - and the creator has had more free advertising than she could ever dream of.

onceisok · 01/10/2017 23:31

Of all the press I ever dreamed to make the Fail was never one of them. ☹️

It's a kind of grim badge of honour. At least you didn't have to be photographed getting down and dirty with some bloke in a field, or sit with a sad horse face holding up a cucumber.

onceisok · 02/10/2017 00:08

I would have LOVED to have done a sad face holding the cake. And they may have paid for my airfare home to visit the rents. Hey Fail! I'm up for a photo shoot if you fly me home!! 😂

Good morning

Whilst I appreciate everyone's freedom to express themselves in a way that best suits them, its a bit disturbing the "language" used to communicate here. As a mother, I would expect that on this site, we use language that we would edify, educate and strengthen each other and in turn our children.

mackaye - are you new or just kidding?

If new you might want to have a read around to see if this site is for you!!

steppemum · 02/10/2017 10:17

The worst one is the cat litter cake. I could not under any circumstances eat a peice of that cake.

Hideous cake

Mackaye, I love your sense of humour. I think I just snorted a little.

NomDeFume · 02/10/2017 10:29

Don't sweat it, onceisok. That style of cake is targeted for a particular market anyway - it will probably not do any harm to the lady who made it. Gotta love the Daily Heil for printing the F-word though, hilarious! Especially in light of recent advertising concerns...

Clandestino · 02/10/2017 11:05

I was actually at a Mums' forum where they were posting photos of their creations. Special cakes on order.
Penises, boobs, shit, people pissing, whatever you wanted. It was disgusting but apparently, some people think it's classy and funny. Not me, tbh.

Mackaye10 · 02/10/2017 11:26

Good morning

To answer your question, yes I am new but clearly you're right in that this site may not be for me because if that's the accepted language. If it fits others then I'm happy for them but fortunately it's not for me.

Have a great day and be blessed to be a blessing

Mackaye10 · 02/10/2017 11:28

Good morning

Sorry to disappoint but it was not meant to be a joke. However, if the chosen language expression is akin to you or anyone else, then I'm happy for all but like I responded to another person who suggests that based on my take on this, then maybe this site is not for me, I think they may be right but I wish all every success with their choices

Mackaye10 · 02/10/2017 11:45

Good morning

lol....I'm here and available

Be blessed

paxillin · 02/10/2017 11:47

Mackaye10, this is a thread about cake. I am sure you want to spread love, but it is rude to derail. Start your own thread.

steppemum · 02/10/2017 11:57

so now I have just wasted the WHOLE MORNING looking at that cake wreck site.

don't click on links, don't click on links, don't click on links....

(was funny though)

paxillin · 02/10/2017 12:00

And your computer will now have learned to offer you turd cakes in endless ads, steppemum Grin.

Mackaye10 · 02/10/2017 12:19

My point exactly...it's about a cake so why the chosen language? Never mind, we all have to answer for the choices we make but as for me and my house, we shall raise the bar and not conform. I wish all who are happy with the chosen language and/or any other texts like this all the best in life.

Of note, I may just take you up on starting my own thread...time will tell but for now....peace out

onceisok · 02/10/2017 12:26

I thought we were 'too stuffy' over here in the UK?!

Poo cake fine, swears not?

I'm THRILLED I got some fucks in to the Mail! It's actually rather a high point in my life. Grin

This thread and the Mail article has been posted on an American Facebook group who now think all British people are stuck up prudes. (Who swear like sailors ironically.) Grin

Your site's journos are kindness personified by regularly reprinting our material; I feel the world to be a poorer place, were we not to reciprocate by showcasing your readership's coruscating wit and insight.

"Best rated" (really? Confused ) comments include:

  • "The nappy is full of the same stuff Mumsnet is."
  • "The topping on that cake looks like the brains of a Mumsnet user."

...And my personal favourite: the deliciously ironic "How is this, or any mumsnet twaddle ever worthy of national press coverage!"

(And we, for the record, do not "spew profanities"...we enunciate them clearly. Like fucking ladies).

Oh my God is that the comments? I haven't read them yet.
