Would I BU to take in my shit cakes for the school fundraiser tomorrow?

[Cheeseplantcrack]

I tried. They look like shit. Although they taste good..
I stupidly used the wrong cases and all the batter leaked out, they're sort of in a cupcake shape and I've decorated them best I can but they're still not the best. 😅

Would you still take them in or be too embarrassed to? I just know theres going to be some perfect specimens there from people who actually know what they're doing and mine will look like goblins amongst the fairys.. I just wanted to help raise some money for the school and make DS proud 😅

70% of me is saying take them in and brazen it out but the other 30% is saying it'll only make me feel embarrassed so just keep them here and keep quiet.. wwyd?

Take them in. Kids only ever want to eat the icing in my experience. Say DS made them if needed.

Let’s see a photo and we can judge.

Yes! Say the children made them and let’s see a photo.

I was thinking of posting a photo @Ramsbottom but idk if theres any other parents on here and I'll be sussed.. they'll definitely notice the cakes 😅

Take them and say DC made them?! Get the sympathy vote in, and everyone will be amazed how good they taste?

Take them, people will assume the kids made them.
I've seen some proper messes served up at ours, if they taste good no one cares and they still sell out. I'd rather buy a shit looking cake than a shop bought one.

Tell school DC made them, and was proud of them too… I bet no-one says anything.

I did this with some terrible banana muffins I made for school fete….which no-one bought ! 😂

Ah yes of course I didnt think to blame the child! Well, that's if anyone even asks.. I think people will just assume he did 😆

Placemarking for the photo.

Label them as Rustic Artisanal cupcakes. Next year others may even copy them!

We need to a photo to laugh judge

This is why I always bought cakes when mine were younger. I made the mistake of attempting to bake and it looked shit compared to everyone else's. I'm an expert in eating them though. If you're 70% wanting to bring them then I would, I bet they look fab.

This.

Let's see a photo!

Put sweets on the top and the kids will go for them.

Take them, but put a picture here first.

I don't care what cakes look like when i'm eating them - I'm sure they're tasty!

Anyone who has done any kind of baking will be viewed especially by those of us who forget or buy something inedible from a corner shop as having made a massive effort. Take them in.

Your thread title of "shit cakes" makes me think of #shitshop in motherland....

Are you Julia?

First year at dcs new primary I took in some shit crispy cakes, no idea how I managed to mess them up but, I figured, it’s a primary school bake sale standards won’t be that high. Turns out standards were very high and the parents at that school we involved in some Uber competitive bake-off emulating weirdness! They also got way more donations than they could ever sell and I spotted my tray abandoned way in the back, not even deemed worthy of being on the cake sale table amongst the fancy stuff.

I want to see a photo. And my DDs school has a coffee morning tomorrow so if your child's school is AG then I'll come and buy one tomorrow I promise!

I read the title of this thread as "...take a shit in my cakes for the school fundraiser tomorrow."

Frankly I'm disappointed.

Don't know what this says about me! 😂

OMG the exact same thing happened to me today. At least I'm not alone! 😁

That genuinely made me laugh 🤣
