Hmm?

A few of us infiltrated GN today to post on the Vince Cable webchat and AvadventKalendar noticed that they have a [cupcake] emoticon.

With pink icing.

[huff]

[huffs too]

Could do with a [cupcake]

:p

KatieMistletoe · 20/12/2011 16:06

You wait to Get0rf sees this. She's still pissed about that bear Grin

MmeLindor. · 20/12/2011 16:09

Although surely Gransnet should have a [scone] or [victoriasponge]

Or even the [WI]

We should demand the [cupcake] to replace the stupid bear

BIWIshYouAMerryChristmas · 20/12/2011 16:36

Cupcakes are so passe, though.

We should have a macaroon. I hear those are all the rage.

MmeLindor. · 20/12/2011 16:39

yy. Biwi.

[saltedcaramelmacaroon] are the new [cupcakes]

Everything is salted caramel atm.

I predict cupcakes, macaroons and whoopie pies will be all hat by Spring. It will be all about scones. With black currant jam and clotted cream. You mark my words.

TheAnnoyingSatsuma · 20/12/2011 16:47

Surely it's a fairy cake? Grans don't do cupcakes, do they?

KatieMistletoe · 20/12/2011 16:48

Ooh those Butterfly cakes! They are granny cakes. Yum!

MmeLindor. · 20/12/2011 16:50

yes, with my mum it is all about traybakes and victoria sponges

And rice crispie cakes.

She would turn up her nose at a cupcake.

I want a cupcake emoticon. NOW! >

MmeLindor. · 20/12/2011 19:04

I should have put this into Flouncers' Corner.

BIWIshYouAMerryChristmas · 20/12/2011 19:11

Surely, this being MN, it should be Lemon Drizzle Cake?

KatieMistletoe · 20/12/2011 19:13

There are a wealth of new icons over on the iPhone thread.

crazycrackernanna · 20/12/2011 19:21

What about a muffin. I like a nice muffin

MmeLindor. · 20/12/2011 20:20

I had LDC yesterday, or rather DD did. In Morzine. British cafe. I soooo wanted to ask if she was a MNetter.

Muffins are like donuts and cupcakes. Not British enough.

Xmas Shock and general outrage! Snot fair.

MmeReindor · 21/12/2011 09:47

FFS. Three threads, thousands of posts over a fecking FB button and no one is interested in our cupcakes.

Pinot · 21/12/2011 15:19

Luvverly buns, MmeLindor.

MmeReindor · 21/12/2011 15:43

Thanks, Pinot.

Cupcakes are uniquely newfangled and passe. Gransnet surely would have no truck with them.

Hmpf.

Obviously our cupcakes dilemma is not important enough for MNHQ to even comment on.

KatMumsnet · 21/12/2011 16:37

@MmeReindor

Hmpf.

Obviously our cupcakes dilemma is not important enough for MNHQ to even comment on.

Oh we're watching..

We'll forward your request to the Powers That Be.

[Humphing at the thought of cupcakes being passe and/or ungrannylike]

Actually they are salted caramel cupcakes. We are very modern grannies [cupcake] oh, sorry not working!
