    Just a quick question ladies. What's best 60cm width cellophane or more?

    x

    Hi i use the 60cm and find its the perfect width,i found the bigger size to much to gather at the top/sides.Having said that i think some of the ladies on here use the tube method so it may be different depending on which way you wrap.

    Hiya, i use the 80cm, but iuse te tube method on 2 & 3 tiers, (i cut the 80cm down for 2-tiers) I also cut it down for singles & use the leftovers for smaller gifts.

    HTH

  • I know this might sound like a stupid question but what is the tube method?
    Thanks

    I'm sure someone without baby brain can explain better but rather than wrapping the cello under the cake, i go around the cake tape at the back then tape the bottom 1" or so under the cake to the cake board. I hang part of the cake off the edg of the desk to do this. It uses much less cello & is IMHO easier.
    I use the standard method on my single tier cakes it uses double the cello, and i dont look forward to it LOL! Not that i like any cello wrapping, must remember to train my OH :rotfl:

    What nappies would you use in a cake for a 12-18month old? Would size 6 be ok?
