    Sadie. I used clothes pegs to keep the towels rolled until I placed ribbon around them.

  • Hi Sadie
    I use curling ribbon or string to hold them in place initially then I use a hot glue gun to secure the ribbon, then remove the string.
    I sometimes use a cardboard tube in the middle before I start rolling - depending on the size of the towels. I find this useful to stick things in - or sometimes I remove it and replace it with shower gel or whatever I'm putting on the cake - i find it helps to keep the cake shape.
    It's addictive isn't it? - i could make them all day - if only it were possible!!:D

    Thanks for the tips everyone! I had thought about putting a bottle in the middle but not sure how well that will go lol! Planning on getting some flowers to go on it, maybe fake ones though so I can make it well in advance. Wedding is planned for 16th April so not much time left :eek:

    Another thing I meant to ask though, do you all just place each layer on top of the other or do you attach them together? I know I'm a pain :p

    Good Afternoon Everyone

    Hope you're all well and enjoying the weekend?

    I've been busy making some Easter gifts this afternoon which can be seen on my blog, but this is the main one I've made - an Easter cake with choccies - although I'd of course make it with whatever was asked for.
