To pelt my cakes at this mum's head in the playground this afternoon? <fume>

The school are having a cake sale tomorrow and have BEGGED for donations of cakes. They have been Facebooking about how desperate they are all week as they want to make a dent in the £12,000 target needed for some new play equipment in the playground. One might think that flogging cakes at 30 pee each is not the way to make a dent but that's another thing...

I am pushed for time this week but I thought I could do some cornflake easter nests with some mini eggs on top as a quick alternative to baking and frosting two dozen fairy cakes. So I went out and bought the stuff (which I reckon cost more than they will get from the sales tbh) Then I replied to one of the FB begging messages saying "I will bring some cornflake easter nests tomorrow, will have about 40" Then one of the PTA wimmin replied "Ha ha! That's great but be prepared to take most of them home as they don't sell as well as real cakes."

Fuck. You. Bitch.

No, Frequent! What area are you in, though? We are in the West Midlands.

Ours breaks up tomoz too, but I don't think it's our place!
Wish it was, though!
All we need now is Chickpea Churl to mount a response.......

I get the cooking facilities, limited palate issue - I really do, which is why I thought the chickpeas would do OK at least. Open the tin, heat them up....someone'll have them.....
It was just the high-handedness that did it for me.

Wonder if Lemon Drizzle beeatch will be wearing a maxi skirt today?!

TerraNotSoFirma · 27/03/2013 15:03

This is brilliant.
So the lemon drizzle cake was only mentioned on here and not on Facebook? Am I correct in thinking that?

Well, lemon drizzle mum.....will this teach you not to be so horrid?

KatieMiddleton · 27/03/2013 15:04

If she'd said "oh no, those don't sell... best give them all to me ;)" then you would think she was being funny. If there was no wink then she's just mean.

Gosh some of those cushions are a bit niche

She wears a maxi skirt every day. I don't think that she could find jeans to accommodate her thighs tbh, unless she starts shopping at lumberjackthreads.com

Shame. I am near London. Good luck!

TigerFeet · 27/03/2013 15:07

LDC woman can't be on here, she wouldn't make shit lemon drizzle cake if she was.

mantlepiece · 27/03/2013 15:07

I hope other members of PTA are mumsnetters too
The mrs lemon drizzle's of this world need to be buried and baked in their own cakes!

Maybe she will send her partner to do the school run? Who will then have a passive aggressive go at Marmalade for upsetting her?

TuftyFinch · 27/03/2013 15:10

Decorate your cakes with 50p pieces. Sell them for 20p.
LDC woman... you should have just said 'lovely, thank you' in the first place but I guess you know that now eh? Nevermind, it'll be July soon, not long.
If anyone wants to start a cunt bunting business I have hands and a sewing machine.

I have miles of bunting that I made for my wedding 2 years ago. It's literally a waste of space.

But...if we turn it into Cunt Bunting it'll be awesome. A new lease of life!

Oh MarmaladeTwatkins, you must be pretty sure she's not a Mumsnetter Grin

TuftyFinch · 27/03/2013 15:15

Let's start a business then Koala. Cunt Bunting. It's a nice oxymoronous name. Like bumble bees.

Zalen · 27/03/2013 15:15

oops, keep reading PTA woman as PITA woman Grin

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 27/03/2013 15:17

She wasn't being sarky. She's just backtracking.

Hope the OP is OK.

Can't wait for the next instalment Grin

RubyGates · 27/03/2013 15:18

Do you think she got her lemon drizzle recipe from here?

Marking place with anticipation! Grin

Pandemoniaa · 27/03/2013 15:20

CuntBunting. Now that'd be a very fine username. As would FuckYouCushions. Although if one wished to be very wicked, a namechange to LemonDrizzleWoman could be entertaining.

Katisha · 27/03/2013 15:22

Genius Tufty!

Might do that at next sodding loss-making-in-real-terms cake sale.

fuzzpig · 27/03/2013 15:23

Oh, DrizzleBitch is doing some pretty lame serious backtracking :o

This thread reads like a John O'Farrell novel :o

KoalaFace · 27/03/2013 15:24

TuftyFinch it's a plan. I can just see us being interviewed by Struth Langford.

"Well Ruth it all started on Mumsnet. Marmalade was livid at Lemon Drizzle about a cake sale. As you can imagine we all rallied around Marmalade. The best inspiration comes to us at trying times. And Cunt Bunting was no different."
