Mumnset Village Show - Cupcake Competition

[ChippyMinton]

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

I love mumsnet - fish tank advice on a cupcake thread ROFL & hope fish are okay this morning.

So now i'm confused - is the theme "In an English Country Garden"?

If so yes, yes yes (and good wishes for peachy and her peachlet)

The theme is 'summer' and songs'

Could I recommend that points are awarded for any clever roundabouty ways that our cakes are related to the theme.

Cryptic Clues Cupcake Commendation.

Don't you have any songs that encompass your theme?

Mine will be very obvious

Afternoon ladies and cupcakes. Just back from work.
Fish spent a pleasant night in my garden pot. Look a bit unhealthy though, water gone funny.
dad coming round later to try the silicone. If not I'll be up Pet city tomorrow. I found out why the tank leaked - I trod on the lost bit of glass while doing kids sarnies!! Ouch! Still think there is a bit in there. Got to bed after midnight - not pleased! Thanks for your help though!

Should we just not have one theme, else very hard to judge - thinking of myself here, don't want extra problems.. Who is my fellow judge - noone has stepped forward to announce themselves yet...

Like the rosette LL. Very professional. It will of course clash with my VSC red winners rosette. I will need to display them in different rooms.

Mrs Fish, if you can come up with a song that involves koala bears, or eye balls, then I would be very grateful.

here's the picturetrail again

Seriously pink LL

LOL!! good one LL!!

i think i may have to bow out of this one. i have nooooo cash to buy stuff to decorate my cupcakes. i might put some very plain ones in and hope for a sympathy vote! [hopeful emoticon]

Found on a search

Doh, I know that one too, sing it with my Rainbows. It has actions.

Thank you also LL.

I may now reconsider my entries.

PMD, can you not enter a cupcake in an unusual position....points awarded for setting/presentation don't forget.

...I've got a luverlee bunch of coconuts springs instantly to mind. I have no idea if you do though, so may not be suitable for a photo.

Tomorrow morning you should have a surprise girls. Posted today.

Fuck me, that is brilliant LL. Most impressed!!!!!!!!!!!!

ooh ooh ooh

I am so excited. All DC's pictures are being removed from the cork board. It will be just my rosette in all it's glory.

Am I being a bit dim here, I can't follow this conversation?
And can I say in a slipping-it-in-to-conversation-sort-of-way 'If the Judge wore a rosette it would stop them getting lost in the judging marquee' (You do remember the trouble we had last time attracting the judge with our lacy hankies)

tigi, haven't you been watching the great British Village show programme on sunday nights?

The cake judges have a bottle green pinny, an official badge, a neat bun(hair), and a moderately large bottom.

No rosette.

ohhh but I want one. You are alright, you got one (tears glint in eye emoticon)

And anyway, I haven't got a green pinny - got one with cats on. I hope my bottom isn't too moderatly big, and there is fat chance of my hair in a neat bun, it's curly and would hang out! I have to be different you see, so I NEED a rosette to be seen as an important person. Any colour, I'm not fussy...

make yerself a big badge with

I'M A MN CAKE JUDGE on.

Then we'll know who you are.

You will love your rosette as well as the little prize. It's from Super Cook, so you should be ok

i'll have to have a think slub. maybe i'll dream a good idea!

Brilliant, they are superb
