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.

Ah have been out since 3pm and missed all the action! Dammit!

But getting home and catching up has been delicious.

5 slices! Mahahaha what a sour lemon addled fuck brain!

Yay Marm! You did brilliantly (minus the cake punch failure).

Lemon Cunt Drizzle. Brilliant.

For those of you in need of an abusive tea towel I give you this little beauty

DyeInTheEar · 28/03/2013 20:45

I want that tea towel. But DD2 is already a little potty mouth thanks to me and she's not even 3 yet.

RubyGates · 28/03/2013 20:47

Excellent! Nice outcome there. Although I do have a strange and lingering craving for a proper lemon drizzle cake now.

I should like to take this opportunity to big-up my lovely DIL and her Cross-stitching mad-skillz . I've posted a photo of her latest creation. And yes, it does say. "Pipe the Fuck Down" Grin

WhatKindofFool · 28/03/2013 20:49

Tell her to shove her cake sale where the sun don't shine.

Im pretty sure i wouldnt be able to punch a cake, i would be laughing so loudly... so tearfully faceachngly loud, i would be outed instantly! Grin

RubyGates · 28/03/2013 21:55

I'm sniggering at the mere thought of cake punching. I'd never be able to do it for real.

MickeyTheShortOne · 28/03/2013 22:14

i am howling at this thread. on my next shopping trip im going to punch a cake Grin

PomBearWithAnOFRS · 28/03/2013 22:45

I did it!
I sidled up to one of those lurid bright green "bombe" dome things on the island rack in Morrisons (near the donuts) and I bottled out of the punch sort of prodded it, viciously until it had a Big Dent in it, and then the DCs and I scarpered down the bread aisle giggling like loons while DH did Hmm faces at us.

meddie · 29/03/2013 00:00

I had totally overlooked this thread. I lost the plot and my bladder control at Punch the cake.

SusieSusieSheep · 29/03/2013 00:08

I've taken her side now because I like scrambled egg. I wish I had some of her cake right now. On toast. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Pudgy2011 · 29/03/2013 03:34

Best. Thread. EVER!

Thumbwitch · 29/03/2013 06:29

I can't believe it has taken me 2 days to finally get to the end of this thread but oh God it was worth it!

And how very petty of LDM to have denied you and the Chair a piece of her lemony scrambled egg cake - you must have been so gutted! Wink

I also think that the large number of chocolate crispy cakes might have been a result of your FB badinage (and yes, they HAVE to be mouth-rippingly hard, none of your chewy/syrupy versions here!)

I love threads like this. They remind me that MN still Has It. :)

CSIJanner · 29/03/2013 06:45

I feel the need to bake a victoria sponge with the LO's today, overfill it with cream and jam, just to punch it. Hard. Fairly close to DH. Not that I'm angry with him r anything - just for sh!ts and giggles Grin

TobyLerone · 29/03/2013 07:02

Well done, Pom!

WankbadgersBreakfast · 29/03/2013 07:30

After reading the entirety of this thread, I may have leant, very hard against a stand of cakes on the way past them and then made a mad dash for the deli section to observe my handiwork from afar.
Mission Success.

minouminou · 29/03/2013 08:07

I feel a session of cornflake cake making coming on today.
I reckon Lemon Drizzle Cake bird should punch some flake cakes.....graze her knuckles good and proper....

Ace thread...... Hope it makes it into Classics.

TwllBach · 29/03/2013 08:09

I'm willing to bet the HT is a MNer and the crispie cakes were her way of giving you a sign, Marmalade.

The next newsletter will have a beautiful bunting border, mark my words.

TwoPoundCakePuncher · 29/03/2013 08:10

I nominated it for classics yesterday and got an email saying they will take a look, i would like to bet they are too busy wiping their aching faces to actually make the decision and running round waitrose punching fuck out of cakes

BonjourCheeky · 29/03/2013 08:12

Leaning on cakes sounds like a good way to go about cake abuse. More ladylike and passive aggressive.

TobyLerone · 29/03/2013 08:13

Me too. I think DD and I will be making some rice krispie cakes later. Then we will punch them into our own faceholes.
