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

[MarmaladeTwatkins]

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.

:(

D'you know, Lucyellensmum - it might be even more satisfying to draw a dripping willy in your child's school book! And now I really, really want to find one of the dses' school books and do this. Or maybe ds1's next Law essay for university. [evil]

We need a picture of this cake.

Isabel - you are supposed to ask permission to make appeals like this, and post in the relevant section, rather than spamming random threads.

So I'm a bit lost. Is it over op? Did your cake sell? Did hers?

I'd do it though. I wonder if I can get DD infected with head lice in time? It sounds awesome!

Perhaps you could ice a dripping willy onto the sadarse lemon drizzle cake.

DIES

"you and your child will be able to spend the day looking around our studio filled with hatching animals- crocodiles, snakes, sharks etc!"

hahahahaaaaaaaaa

I think the OP's there now with her phone.

LIVE UPDATES PEOPLE

Lemon drizzle cakes always look sad and sweaty don't they. Really unappealing cakes.

I'm crying

Please punch the cake

I will donate £20 to charity, and will double the money if you link to a pic of the cake once punched

This is better than Comic Relief

WHAT CHILD would want it's mother to drag them to have a LIVE headlice treatment on easter egg day? Which will then be televised to the edification of their school friends.

Come on Isabel. Use your loaf.

Hatching eggs - amazing cakespiration for next Easter

ITS

Hahahaha would LOVE OP to ice a dripping willy onto the cake!! I would pee myself laughing!!

LOL at "use your loaf"

I am at home now. Bake sale is after school. I will try and get a picture of the sweaty lemon drizzel slab. I think she wraps it in cling film BEFORE it has cooled off, that's where the sweaty effect comes from. I imagine it probably steams the inside of the cake, too. Mmmmm, sweaty AND claggy. I can't imagine why it is still sat there on it's own at the end, I really can't.

Or she could take in one of those icing pens you use for cake decorating, and write WILLYWILLYWILLY on the drizzle cake!

Oh yes - cornflake cakes with real hatching headlice on 'em - there's a seller!

Isobar, do you like lemon drizzle cake?

Please put the lemon sweaty cake out of its misery. Could you 'drop' it?

Nests for headlice - what a kind idea - I can't imagine why no-one has done it before. Will no-one think of the poor headlice babies??

I didn't makes cakes for cakes sales before I saw a comment last year (or even before that) from a MNer who said she bought cheap fairy cakes, popped them in the oven for a couple of minutes to get the burnt "home made" look and then dusted icing sugar over them.

Have now done that a couple of times and it works for me!

Meanwhile, I know I make a good lemon drizzle, but as our schools finished on Friday and I'm not on the PTA I know it's not me!

Can't wait for updates.
