    Hi There long time lurker here have posted a few things but nothing major.
    I was just wondering if giggle might share a few of her secrets with us, i just wanted to know are your cupcakes made of socks or somthing larger??
    and what size of said item would you suggest to get the best effect.
    Also do you use a certain technique to getthem so nicely rounded?

    Any and all tips on cupcakes and bouquets are truely appreciated.

    Thanks Vicki

    Hi Giggle

    Your cupcakes look lovely! Do you have any trouble with them moving in the boxes?

    I have just done a cake with a cupcake on top (inbetween legs of toy) and am having trouble keeping it there. Double sided tape won't stick to those cases and I do like everything to be secure.
    I don't use pins or tape on anything and usually manage to tie things on. Any ideas how to secure it?

    I don't come on here much myself lately (house "do-up" that is taking forever!) but it looks like everyone has deserted. :(
