Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
The Crouch End Cakewalk!
OpinioN8 would like to invite some of you HOL-ers to join in discussions on issues, news and views of Crouch End and Hornsey.
So far the conversations are dominated by a rather shouty man and a dog poo obsessed lady calling herself the CrouchEnd Cupcake. I think they'd like some people to chime in! If you're in the N8 locale, do pop over and join them. Not instead of HOL, heaven forfend, but to compliment all the wonderful things you can get involved in on here.
Come and have a look and see what's happening - worth it just for news on the Crouch End Cakewalk.

And I'm afraid it was all over BBC Radio London yesterday. I expect I'll be referring to sidewalks next...

You've got your huzzahs. No more from me. They're not cakes. I'm demanding my licence fee back.

Of course cupcakes are cakes. They just originated in the US. I don't quite understand what your problem is. I'm not pretending they're fairy cakes, the shallower bun type affair that we serve at children's parties this side of the Atlantic. I still make fairy cakes for my daughter's cake sales - they are smaller in shallower bun cases and tend to be iced with sugar icing and water mixed together so it sets.
A cupcake is defined by the American measures, it is taller, deeper and tends to have a rich buttercream type icing that is quite ornate.
They are two different items and I like them both. My campaign centres around the American version as they are easier to draw, have a catchy sound to them and are recognised instantly. You can call someone Cupcake but we tend not to call someone Bun or Fairy cake.
I've quite honestly had a barrel full of criticism and sour grapes over this, something I'm trying to do to safeguard my children's health and couldn't give a fig whether it's a cupcake or a bun. Just as long as it's not a steaming turd that could potentially make mine or someone else's child blind.

I guessed this to be true. I am however feeling a little feisty this evening having read 116 comments in the Daily Mail. Anyway, Cupcake rage is quite the thing these days.

Thanks, John. King Alfred could never have burnt those things.
But, Louise, no one should have to read 116 DM comments - in whatever cause.

Funny you should mention King Alfred. My grandmother would always call me Alfred when I burnt my fairy cakes as a child. She would just should out "Alfred!" but not give me an explanation as to why or about who he was.
No, I do not recommend reading the Daily Mail comments. Some were very supportive though but a lot were just accusing me of being a vandal. And a silly woman.

*skips off whistling and asks a passing dog to not go to the bathroom on the sidewalk* Tum te tum.

Ignore the Daily Mail idiots and their silly comments, keep up the good work, you've done well!
Poo cakes. :)

Poo cakes, they sound quite sweet actually. They remind me of when I bought some Winnie the Pooh cookie cutters (cookies, not biscuits!!) for my daughter.
I took them out of the box and said "here look you can make poo biscuits". She was suitably unenthusiastic!
