To not accept a birthday cake made with year old butter icing that has been left in a garage?

[iHateDairylea]

I know that my MIL hates me, but really?

She was very excited to tell me the cake was special because she had used the same icing as the cake from ds's last birthday. Yes you read that right.

I didn't eat any and she has got her knickers in a twist about it. Not surprisingly everybody else declined a slice but no, it is me she is annoyed with.

I am an ungrateful DIL and her ds could have done so much better than me. Perhaps that's a whole new thread.

Just needed to vent although if somebody posts on here telling me it would have been fine I will smother my hat with the icing and eat the thing in one.

That doesn't look like butter icing at all to me (rancid)and what are the black bits.

princessmel i don't think anyone is accusing the OP of being a troll, just asking if she's winding us up! not the same thing

i do not believe that butter icing would survive for a year in a garage. it would be covered in mould by now.

It could have been worse - she could have told you after you ate it!!

My aunt would do stuff like this, i swear they would eat rotten meat if it was sold cheap - she would brag about eating things waaaay past their sell by date etc, to save money - but shes loaded - perhaps thats why!! She made a walnut and cheese salad for my mums anniversary - i discretely advised the guests to stear clear.

'You wouldn't be trolling would you?'

Hey ho

and just think dittany, some people are probably getting paid for it!!!

No, this isn't a wind up and no need for the defensive comments on my behalf I really am not too upset by anyone thinking it's a wind up.

But I do think it is quite funny- the situation I mean. I do not find the insults funny. She is so demented but not mentally ill, she is just very spoilt an doesn't like to throw anything away! She is also very wealthy!

The black bits are vanilla- she did not let me photograph it, she gave it to me after her hissy fit. I would suppose she didn't think I would take it but being the vile DIL that I am, I did!

LOL. Was she a child in the war years?

Tell it was lovely and throw it away. Are you sure those black bits are vanilla and not fly poo?

yuk AND DOUBLE YUK

Why don't you bake her a cake as a peace offering I mean you already have the icing

Yes but I am asking in an amused, non-judgey way!

Yes bake her a cake now to say sorry...

... and give it to her in about a years time

my mum one christmas once gave the whole family a trifle after the dog had licked all the cream off the top down to the custard layer,she just mixed some more cream up and put it over the custard and bobs your uncle as good as new you have to watch these mums and muminlaws you never know what sick things they can do

I love the bake her a cake and add the icing idea.

That is the best suggestion ever. I just mentioned it to my dh and he spat his tea out.

I am going to do that tomorrow.

How's this for irony, I have put her blessed icing in tgehe fridge in my garage!

Dittany, what was that supposed to be?

And yet somehow this entire thread hasn't managed to put me off cake. Bit depressing really.

I'm going to fetch myself a nice slab slice of angel cake now.

I have a feeling your mil would have found a way out of my culinary disaster this evening. I made a delicious and enormous Anglo Italian trifle (from Nigella's Summer cookbook). It cost a fortune to make with the mascarpone and berries and limoncello etc. We are having a bbq tomorrow for 20 and so this really was enormous. My dh is making a salt cod dip as a starter and asked me to soak the fish today which I did in a bowl in the fridge. So he comes home from work and goes to take out the fish (forgetting the bowl was full of water) and spills the coddy/fishy water all over my bloody bastarding trifle! Obviously I chucked it. But I think your mil (and definately saggyjuju's Mum) might have rescued it somehow. Maybe you could ask them for me in case this happens in the future.

Redazzy I fear she would've served that just to me with a great big serving spoon and called it fish fusion.
