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.

Snorting into my cup of tea.
Best thread in ages.

LemonDrizzleMaxi has obviously been reprimanded behind the scenes! Love it. Can't wait to hear next installment.

So......when are the pinny's available??

My last attempt at flapjacks were definitely the sort that could take someone's eye out.

I am currently waiting for my latest bread attempt to cool down enough so I can try it to make sure it's not a house brick. This time it actually looks like a loaf.

Haven't read the whole thread yet but anyone wanting a sweary tea towel could do worse than this for a close up click on the picture then when the pop up picture appears click on it again.

When I was little, my friends mum made her mini egg nests with shredded wheat and chocolate. It was very, very realistic and tasted okay from what I remember.

Salmotrutta · 27/03/2013 16:48

I was joking by the way.

I must have a cocksucker tea cosy. I am incomplete without one. "

There's a sentenceI had to re-read a few times before I understood it!

pollywollydoodle · 27/03/2013 16:50

but marmalade flapjacks are so capable of damaging a pta member/a human that some schools have banned them

ps if you had porridgy shit you were doing it wrong...chewy but crunchy with large "slicing" oats sticing out is the way to goSmile

mowbraygirl · 27/03/2013 16:50

The kids will love them especially with little eggs on top I am sure they will go quicker than the cupcakes the rude stupid woman.

TobyLerone · 27/03/2013 16:51

Oooooh, I bloody love the ones with shredded wheat. They're proper nests! They're the absolute worst for ripping your mouth to shreds, though.

HorryIsUpduffed · 27/03/2013 16:52

Thanks for recipes - didn't realise what a vipers' hornets' nest I was stirring up though! Grin

Undertone · 27/03/2013 16:54

Marmalade can't we tempt you to make and take in a totally amazing lemon drizzle cake? or a disguised delicious shop-bought one

pollywollydoodle · 27/03/2013 16:55

no to shredded wheat...looks right but tastes wrong...there's a reason it only gets used at easter you know

ginslinger · 27/03/2013 16:58

I only make flapjacks if someone is constipated because they seem to shift anything. Maybe I should actually read the recipe

MrsHoarder · 27/03/2013 16:59

Forget ldc lady, i'm waiting for the chair to turn up with a marmalade cake.

SayCoolNowSayWhip · 27/03/2013 17:05

This thread has cheered up my otherwise crappy day.

Chairlady is definitely an MNer.

By the way, has anyone actually been brave enough to Googled 'cunt bunting'??

SayCoolNowSayWhip · 27/03/2013 17:06

Drizzle Cake Lemon Drizzle Cake

Who knew??!

Lucyellensmum95 · 27/03/2013 17:06

I love those cornflake cakes - love love love better than bloody fairy cakes any day

TalcAndTurnips · 27/03/2013 17:08

Twatters - HERE is an apron that might convey your sentiments in a subtle and conciliatory fashion.

Or THIS.

Thanks \ / / \\
abuhamzamouse · 27/03/2013 17:09

This thread its excellent. I am enjoying it immensely. well done Marmalade!

StealthPolarBear · 27/03/2013 17:09

I don't like cornflake cakes because there's breakfast cereal in my nice dairy milk
And they split into a million crumbly pieces when I bite into them

minouminou · 27/03/2013 17:12

StealthPolarBear.....or StealthLemonDrizzleWoman?

Lindyhopper29 · 27/03/2013 17:15

What an awful woman Marmalade

We had a bake sale at our school and everything went - even the weird-looking and mis-shapen cakes!

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 27/03/2013 17:15

Awww. Is it wrong that I was really hoping LDM had read this thread?

StealthPolarBear · 27/03/2013 17:16

No cause I'd always suck the chocolate off and leave the rest
In fact that's pretty much my life motto

Echocave · 27/03/2013 17:16

Haha this is a classic thread!
In your face lemon drizzle lady!

OP you are vindicated. I love those crispy cakes so you already had my vote.
Minouminou, your 'Get Fucked' has made me roar with laughter on a packed train. Brilliant!
