cake

[TheAvocado]

could we have a cake topic, for all things sugarcraft. There's a big chat thread right now, full of lovely people who spend hours crafting odd things out of fondant icing (me, I've just made a scale model of a human kidney for a urologist friend)...

Wem - I never lost it, I lied to MNHQ

[wem]

Blueberry, how could you? As penance you have to come and talk to me over here

[blueberryboybait]

Wem - I never lost it, I lied to MNHQ

[TheAvocadoOfWisdom]

Thank you :o

[wem]

Oops, that was supposed to be

[wem]

Thank you!

blueberryboybait - if you're talking about the cake quiche, I started it in chat here it is. It went a bit quiet though.

How does pinning pictures to the mumsnetters' cakes board on Pinterest work?

[blueberryboybait]

All bow to the Majesty that is HelenMumsnet

[HelenMumsnet]

Here you go, folks. Enjoy!

[HelenMumsnet]

Evening. We'll see what we can do

[blueberryboybait]

There was once a baking quiche - I have lost it and can't find it anywhere :( If it was in a Baking section I could find it very easily :o

[TheScottishPlayer]

Oh, yes please to a baking topic. And please merge food and recipes.

[VikingVagine]

[PestoPenguin]

Yes, yes, yes to baking!!!

[WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes]

No, I meant one topic for Baking and one topic for everything else, which could be called Cooking.

[TheAvocadoOfWisdom]

Noooooo! not cooking. I don't want my Victoria Sponges tainted with casseroling tips next door. Baking. Baking. Cake. Cake. Cake.

[VikingVagine]

Umm, cake please.


YY to a baking section!

[VikingVagine]

Cake or DEATH!!!

[WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes]

I'd go for a Baking topic, with food and recipes combined into one (maybe just call it Cooking).

[wem]

I did. Lots of lovely people came to talk to me about cake but it fizzled out. It's a recent obsession for me and it's possible, just possible, that people don't want to talk about it quite as much as me

[BusinessTrills]

You could start a thread in Food called "Sugarcraft chat over here" and see if your fellow sugary craftey people join you?

[wem]

Hmmm, I see what you mean. I think some people think that because there are so many that there should be a specific place to pit every question, but if something could go in either food or recipes then just pick one!

I'm still hankering after a dedicated sugarcraft topic, but I guess there are other forums out there for that.

[BusinessTrills]

I wouldn't get rid of topics, I'd merge them.

Food and Recipes, for example. Instead of "Food" and "Recipes" we could have "Food and Recipes".

I have seen lots of complaints of "there are too many topics" and "it is too confusing to know where to put things" and "xxx topic doesn't get much traffic".

[wem]

Trills, how does having many topics bother you? Which ones would you get rid of? How do you think the people who post in those topics would feel about that? It helps to narrow things if you are searching for a particular question that would return loads of results otherwise, e.g. How long does cake last?

Baking topic would be lovely thank you :)

[FoofFighter]

Baking topic great idea.

But Agree with trills - please get rid of the stupid topics, there's far too many

[BusinessTrills]

Please no more topics until you have a topic tidy-up. Please?
