    Hi Angel kay
    Those teddies are from candi gifts (well they sell them) I can't remember how much they are but think they are ok to use?! Have a look at the site it might be cheaper to get them from your florist as you won't have to pay p+p then. HTH

    afternoon ladies.
    i'm after some advice - I have just came back from the florists where shes bought the 3 x2tier cakes i took down (the ones with the photo frame teddies). while i was there i said that i was struggling to get teddies the right size which are baby safe for the 3 tiers and she's given me the chance to order the teddies in the pic above for £1.59 + vat so £1.82 a teddy they are 8 inch and have baby boy and baby girl written on their paws do you think this is a good price? i have never looked into these kinds of toys with the embroidered messages etc so i have no idea if its good or not and not being very clued un on sizes would 8" still be too big? I don't have any smaller teddies left that i could measure... they do have a 6" brown bear which is 89p so £1.03 when i add on vat but it doesn't say whether its baby safe.
    what would you guys do?
    thanks in advance

    I'd say go for it. Saves shopping around for decent teddies, especially when they keep discontinuing the ones we like.
    A creative mess is better than tidy idleness :D

    Hiya,
    yeh they are the ones i use- have a look on my site at the 3 tiers to get an idea of the size. They are super soft and v cute and a fab price and yes I have also seen them being sold for a lot more. However, I am just getting through my last bag of 5 and am now going to use different toys as to be honest when people have the choice they sometimes ask for the teddy tumpties I have on my neutral cakes rather than these teddies. Some people do prefer my other toys and I think it may even put people off buying my pink and blue cakes. I sell LOADS of neutral cakes even if they are being sent for boys and girls. So I have decided to search around for other styles now. I wish they had done the teddy tumpties in pink and blue! Anyway, this is just the experience I have had - I do still sell a lot of pink and blue cakes with these teddies so I'm sure you will sell your fab cakes with them too.
