    Hi, I have the same cakes, well from the same girl anyway. I love them, they sit on a cake stand on my dresser in the kitchen and everyone thinks they are real. Im on the lookout for some lemon coloured cake slices, I just have the cupcakes just now with the Emma Bridgewater design.

    How can you look at them all day and not have a HUGE craving for cake??

    Hart - loving your work! I reckon I'm probably "known" down at B&Q for taking samples. :o
