To let them eat the cakes

Tonight I made some cakes for my sons club he goes to. They are having a fun day tomorrow and tonight I rushed about and made some fairy cakes for the cake stall.

just before I was I was about to put the sprinkles on my 4 yr old son SAT ON THE CAKES. One cake was a bit bumcheeked but it was savable. At this point he’s just got out the bath and had pants on and was standing on a chair playing basketball (yes I know 🤦‍♀️)
About 5 minutes later he comes down the stairs and has shat himself. Yes this is my life.

Husband cleans him up I come back to kitchen and fuck which one was the bum cake. So now I’ve got cake Russian Roulette with a possible shitty bum
cake.

DH has taken him to bed and I’m just 🫠

I would bin the cakes.

I’d chuckle them all. Your life sounds…hectic!

What would Marie Antoinette do? Grin

No OP I don't think you should let them eat cake this time given all the context.

Surely he won’t be going to club the morning after he’s had diarrhoea?! And yes bin the cakes.

NameChangeSorryNotSorry · 23/06/2023 21:02

chuck not chuckle. Maybe chuckle as you down a large glass of wine

LittleMG · 23/06/2023 21:02

Just to add he told me he’d pood himself after the sitting on incident but really that’s neither here no there is it

I mean, more cake for you if you feel they're edible, but I probably wouldn't offer them round to anyone else.

LittleMG · 23/06/2023 21:04

Obv I can’t let anyone eat these cakes. Maybe I should eat them and just get it over with???

I can’t make any more now I’ve got sp
much stuff to get on with and I haven’t got
any more icing. What should I tell them that doesn’t make me sound insane? I told
them I’d bring cakes.

This is why I don’t trust other people’s home cooking. Ultimately no on cares if your son just got out the bath and was wearing pants, I don’t want any food I consume being sat on. Let alone potentially shat on. You need to bake it all again if you want to give it to others.

Why was he even in a position where he could sit on freshly baked cakes anyway, did you have the cake on the floor or have him sat on the counter? Wasn’t there a risk of the food/baking tray potentially being hot? Why didn’t you keep him away. So many questions here

It’s annoying but best thing to do is buy something from the shop. You don’t really need to explain in depth what happened with the batch you made.

Unclench. Stuff happens.

Jonnycakes · 23/06/2023 21:12

Just buy some replacements. I’d definitely throw the lot. If you feel you need to give an explanation why you haven’t got homemade cakes just say you dropped the entire batch on the floor. You tripped over the dog/child/husband!!

LittleMG · 23/06/2023 21:13

I am surprised how many people thought I would actually give them the cakes 😂 this thread is light hearted. My son shat himself and on my lovely fairy cakes. Thought it might cheers a few of you up

It did the trick for me OP. 😄

Hawkins0001 · 23/06/2023 21:15

All the best op,

And enjoy some fresh cakes

LittleMG · 23/06/2023 21:17

So obv I’m not going to give them to
children after the bum contact. Husband just ate one and said ‘I can’t taste any shit’

Pop into a supermarket tomorrow morning on the way to school and buy cakes for the sale.

So basically the finished cakes are on the table I leave them for one second and he’s up on a chair next to them (because he can’t stop thinking about the cakes) and then decides to hit this ball with a baseball bat, just a little toy one. My original post said basketball that was a typo. And my son is the sort of person who is always wiggling about and standing in funny positions and looks like his arms and legs are too long and he bends forward to hit the ball and out comes his bum and kisses the fairy cakes. Any questions? I’ll happily provide answers.

I’d let him have them to be honest. It’s not as if he had the accident before sitting on the cakes, so the cakes will be fine, it’s only him who sat on them. Or put them out for the birds lol.
