The thing is, I would like to try and make a big cupcake to put it all in, I have a nice soft white towel to cover the top (thank you nescafe coffee beans :rotfl:) but am having trouble trying to think of how to do the cake case bit. I thought maybe corrugated cardboard painted ? but don't know where I can get any, done a search and its a bit expensive.

What about using a fruit bowl? Would be the right kind of shape for a cup cake and would be useful too...

Love your hamper ZLS - cant believe that bear was given to charity it is lovely!
You have all been so busy, i giggled when i heard you had left stuff out of your hampers, every year when we were younger my mum would produce a christmas gift every year without fail around march/april that she had lost in December :rotfl:

I have today finished my bits to add to my hampers:
Snowman Soup approx £1 each


Perfect Man approx 26p each.

Thanks, I cnt beleive it was in a charity shop either, you should have seen me pounce on it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Women possed was not the word for it lol.

Love your creations too, them gingerbread men look soooooooooooooo yummy I am drooling right now.

kandipandi, beautiful hamper and love the soup too.
The gingies are my favourite though. Only one problem I can see, who is going to BITE them. They look so lovely, how could anybody nibble at their heads.
Mind, if you have that problem send them C/O soblivion and I know my son would show them how it's done LOL

Wow kandipandi - did you decorate those gorgeous gingerbread men? They are fab, great looking soup too

Thanks everyone for your kind words - I feel like a fraud though.....
:rotfl: I am not that skilled I bought them, three for 79p in B&M Bargains - they were already in the cello - result!
Just had to add the label and a bit of ribbon.

A few peeps have asked about the poem and I got it from here somewhere, cant remember who I stole it from but it goes:

Î THE PERFECT MAN Ó

They say good men are hard to find I know this to be true,
But I hunted far and wide, and found one just for you!
He is no good at DIY, he cannot fix the car,
But his socks are never smelly, and he doesn't stray too far,
He always listens patiently, and won't pester you in bed,
And If you get fed up with him
You just bite off his head!
