It looks NOTHING LIKE A FANJO int eh last picture.

is he having a party?
i mean, will other mums see it and wonder why you made a vulva with a face on?

thisisyesterday · 22/05/2009 20:54

let's face it, for 38p who cares if it looks like a fanjo

NationalFlight · 22/05/2009 20:55

good point, i am going to have to buy a proper cake aren't I. There's no way I'll get away with it.

OR I could make a complimentary one in the shape of a big PENIS but disguised as a caterpillar. And ask for the parents' car keys on the way in.

Theme it, yes, that might work...

You could sell the pattern for it in Ann Summers?

thisisyesterday · 22/05/2009 21:02

hehehe no it's fine. people are always impressed with my homemade cakes.

well, they say they are anyway

FrannyandZooey · 22/05/2009 22:09

i have been giving this some thought
and you know i am not sure of the wisdom of calling it a flappy cake

Sycamoretree · 22/05/2009 22:21

Sorry, but PMSL. This thread has given me the biggest laugh in AGES.

Bless you NF - I actually think it's rather charming.

AitchTwoOh · 22/05/2009 22:33

omg YES i'm afraid i too thought it was a fanny cake. i think the word flappy might have been a bum steer.

Dumbledoresgirl · 22/05/2009 22:52

Aitch linked this thread to my thread with the words Flappy cake. You are all being very cruel. I looked at the pictures without reading the thread and thought it was a brilliant bat/butterfly - sorry! bat!

But now that Franny has pointed out the similarity....I am off to show dh this thread.

Dumbledoresgirl · 22/05/2009 22:53

PS Is the presence of cat food in one picture significant?

Saltire · 22/05/2009 22:54

I like the face with the green dummy, it's very liflik, how did you get the cake to look like that

BigTeuchLittleTeuch · 22/05/2009 23:45

why is your cake so shiny?

Is everyone esle's fannies cakes this shiny?!

MollieO · 23/05/2009 00:11

You could combine his birthday with a talk about the facts of life. I'm sure the cake would be a useful aid.

NationalFlight · 23/05/2009 07:40

Teuch that was the bottom (sorry) of the cake. I bought a new quick release tin from habitat having not attempted a cake for some years.

When I turned it out it was, as you say, very very shiny

AitchTwoOh · 23/05/2009 21:07

meant to ask are you FA, NF?

NationalFlight · 23/05/2009 21:12

oh ya I am

You are H, yes?

OP posts:
thisisyesterday · 23/05/2009 21:17

i was thinking about your fanny cake in bed last night NF.
as you do

anyway, i reckon if you move the wings a bit it'll look more batlike.

instead of being straight down at the sides, they need to be sticking out more iyswim?

NationalFlight · 23/05/2009 21:46

Ah thankyou TIY

well I am ashamed to say we have consumed almost half of it already, despite birthday being tmrw

but anyway he was very pleased with it, the raisins round the edges were good, I have to recommend tesco cake mix.

Next year I will make a better, slightly adjusted version with the wings down a bit

Good for halloween actually too, it was so simple to cut the shape as it all came from one circle. No wasted corners! black marzipan would have been better than choco though.

OP posts:
AitchTwoOh · 23/05/2009 22:07

a cake mix?!

i have a friend who swears by that tesco mix, i have to say it is really lovely. i always ask her for the recipe. tis i, flight.

NationalFlight · 23/05/2009 22:13

Well is a bit dry honestly but certainly not bad.

It took long enough for ds2 to throw nuts and bolts all over the floor, put all my cleaning sprays in the bin and tip over the cat's water...gawd knows the damage if I'd made a real cake!!

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 23/05/2009 22:42

i think it was very ingenious with no wasted cake
and you were a very good sport about the vulva thing
