    Hi everyone,

    Can anyone give me a bit of advice please?

    I have been using Johnsons Shampoo etc in the middle of my 2 tier cakes in order to hold the tiers together.

    Was just wondering what other people use to hold theirs together?

    Thanks

    I use a tube of stiff paper in the middle of my cakes. I know most people don't use anything but I have done this since I started and can't get out of the habit now.

    It makes it more difficult to make them but they are very sturdy and don't move.

  • I buy my muslins from asda.
  • oddly enough the first few boxes I sold and sent out of these arrived fine and I had no complaints but then they started to go wrong and I had to refund P&P on several orders. I now pack a layer of bubble wrap inside the cupcake box to keep everything in place, not ideal especially if the customer wants to send them straight to the new parents but I can't keep having complaints

    That seems like a possibility - although my partner has suggested that i use a sticky pad - or 2!! 1 to hold the case inthe box and another to hold the socks in the case - readinga round he is right this seems to be what other ppl are doing.

    Hmm ill have to bob throug hto my local BNM and have a look at these blankets when i have a spare day. Still unable to post pics up here guys so unfortunately still cant show you all my cakes!!

    yeah, I tried this once but the contents still escaped so haven't tried it since.

    I usually use baby wipes but have also used cardboard tubes and baby bottles

  • with my cupcakes i use a paper clip at the back to hold the socks to the case and a bit of clear glue to hold the case to the box. i use vista print to make my website i have only 3 pages for £3.50 but u get lots of free things like business cards, leaflets postcards to promote your website just have to pay for p &p.
    was wondering where you get your sleepsuits from i normally get them at tesco or asda but just fancied something different. i found plain white blankets at tesco bb11 if you are still looking.
