    Can anyone recommend any online suppliers of good quality silk flowers suitable for sock bouquets? Not too expensive though;)

    I have looked locally and they are all poor quality.

    Hiya,

    I like your box, but just to give you another idea this is how i wrap mine. I use a 5" cake board from ebay. I also use paper cases which brings the cost down. I sell mine at £4.50.

    P.S the cost of your flowers is much cheaper than mine from hobbycraft!!

    I picked up some silicone cupcake cases in £land yesterday - 6 per pack of the normal sized ones - they are available in bright pink and navy blue.

    They also had mini ones 10 per pack.

    I have been fidling with trying to get the socks to look right for weeks and i still cant get them to look good - any tips.
    :TIs thankful to those who have shared their :T
    :T fortune with those less fortunate :T
    :T than themselves - you know who you are!

    I've been asked to prepare a unisex cake for woman, I've done the below but I'm struggling to make the cellophane look neat - has anyone got any tips please

    (Sorry if the colours look a bit funny, my house only has those funny energy saving lightbulbs and they are not very bright)

    I saw those cases today but bought the ones from Asda instead (they have 12 in, 4 yellow, 4 pink and 4 blue for £2)

    I've been on loads of websites to find the perfect cupcake and mine are below. I always roll with the toes at the top and found that the fleecy socks look better.
