Never mind the FB palaver, why does Gransnet have a [cupcakes] emoticon

[MmeLindor.]

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

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

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

Or even the [WI]

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

Cupcakes are so passe, though.

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

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.

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

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

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! >

I should have put this into Flouncers' Corner.

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

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

What about a muffin. I like a nice muffin

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.

and general outrage! Snot fair.

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

Luvverly buns, MmeLindor.

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.

@MmeReindor

Hmpf.

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!
