Mumnset Village Show - Cupcake Competition

[ChippyMinton]

Right ladies, new thread, let's get the rules set down so we can get baking

I so want to judge

I could post pictures of my amazing fart lighting - who's gonna judge that please?

I could do that as well rhubs. My first boyfriend was a champion.

Rhubard may i politely suggest you take your farts to the Wind Marquee?

Franca please set out your judgely qualifications, expertise and experience

I want to judge so that I can check out everyone's kitchens.

[looks for credentials...]

cupcakes wants to check everyone's knickers?

Is I'm over opinionated a valid qualification?

Oooo....DTD2 has an excellent idea for decoration that might just work and isn't against the rules.....she also has one whihc is highly mad but has a slim chance of working but will be v cool if it works.

NOw I am assuming anything goes as long as it is a cake of any description in a muffin case or smaller. (just want to clarify the rules before I get disqualified from this one.....)

Now anyone want my DP for the week so I can do some unadultered baking & photography???

LL you do know that the more categories you suggest the more rosettes you will have to make.

Cupcakes this time

It's going down like a lead balloon this time y'know...

Where is everyone?

'Yooooooo Hooooo, over here', (waves in air frantically with pure Irish linen tea towel)

Oo! Glad I just read "All welcome to enter" Iwas just about to ask can I join in?

That sounds good, I'm in too!

I am here, just fascinated by the bum thread.....

I don't have the right stuff yet, am going shopping tomorrow so will be baking then. Will get excited when I have decided what I am doing. With the VSC twas easy as it doesn't take much imagination, but mind is running riot with this.

It is facinating isn't it.

Gosh where else can you can be thinking about good sponge rise and lubrication for anal sex all in one place.

I hope you've washed you hands before stepping onto the cupcake thread ladies.

Bump for the mrning crowd - Everyon is welcome to join in. Sign up here.

Very easy - bake and decorate cupcakes, take a picture, post on the picture trail (link to be announced) by midnight Sunday.

A maximum of six cakes (individual cake in a paper case) in all or any of the 3 categories:

Best decoration
Most inventive presentation
Best childrens' entry

Go on (and you can show off your kitchen in the pictures and annoy Cod at the same time )

once i get home & assess the state of my kithen, i shall confirm whether i will be entereing. if my kitchen is a no go, i wonder if i could be all judegemental?

KAA, the state of your kitchen was much discussed on Cod's thread yesterday.

Of course all unspoken, but there was a strong undercurrent of in the posts.

(I am btw hideously with regards to your beautiful cooking applinace)

Just back from perusing the pitiful selection of cake decorations in the supermarket...going to need to do some really creative thinking on this one.

I'm in. Haven't done cupcakes in a little while, but kids will be very excited at the thought of doing some decorating!

i really miust stop working & spend more time on mn. the rayburn looks great but the oven in it doesn't work! it is just a glorified boiler. we have a very cheap electic oven which we use - can't have a decent one because the right wiring isn't in place & we're too lazy to get extra wires run right throught the entire house, needing new flooring & carpets in 3 rooms upstairs!
i was easily conned when i bought this house, saw the rayburn & then realised my mistakes!
where is the thread?

here .

Can't you have your Rayburn mended? It's too sad to think you can't be making a lovely rice pudding in your simmering oven.
