    I have just been to a playgroup fair and got a bit wet! I sold a small cake and a box of cupcakes which I was quite pleased with as there wasn't many people there. I also gave out lots of leaflets so hopefully that will create some future business. Can anyone help me with sourcing a wholesaler for silicone cupcake cases? I was using Asdas but they only have bright coloured ones now and I use pastel colours. Thanks Nat x

    I got some from Wilkinsons last week, Lemon, Mint Green, Pale blue and pink I think they were £2.49 for 12.

    Giggle - I think they were red, blue and yellow but don't quote me on that! Cherydee - I have surplus cupcake boxes that hold 4 cupcakes I want to sell off. I will work out a cost with postage and post it up. Thanks for the Wilkos tip guys xx

    I usually take 1 three tier, two tier, 2 one tiers, mini cakes and lots of other small bits and bobs like sock cupcakes as that's usually what sells, people tend to have a tenner in their pocket but not £30/40. I haven't been doing this all that long though so others might have a better idea.

    Wow I love the twin girls one.
    I have just been to Home and Bargin and they have mini Russ teddies for 49p each they have a heart on saying mum but this can easily be snipped off as only help on by bit of string.
    they have cats, cows, lilac elephants, monkeys and teddies.
