    Snookles - love the cake - esp the roses and the way the top layer has the vest folded so neatly - beautiful!

    Here's one I made for my cousin

    Thanks lastminutej. Your bunny cake is lovely, esp the soft toy...so cute! Just a quick question, how do you get your bows to look nice. Mine are never sitting right

    Thanks Snookles - I struggle with bows - sometimes I just hot glue the ribbon round the cake and then tie a bow separately and hot glue it on to the ribbon where I think it should go!
    Does any one use or has tried a bow maker? I've seen them on Ebay but never known if they are worth trying or what size to get?

    I can't tie a neat bow to save my life :mad: so I bought a cheap wooden one off ebay ...... I STILL can't tie a decent bow :o
    A creative mess is better than tidy idleness :D
