    Have been busy with boring work but got an unexpected call asking for a towel cake for a wedding present - I really enjoyed making this one.

    Hello Everyone

    How are you all?

    I've been quiet lately what with working so much and haven't made any cakes for a while, however just this past week, I've suddenly got 5 orders - it's typical they all come at once, isn't it.

    Anyway, this is a 21st birthday cake and the request was for Sanctuary bath products and 21 candles.

    Hope she likes it!

    Hiya Vikki

    Thanks.

    I get them in the local florist shop, she has quite a nice selection to choose from and they're not too costly either considering she's a one woman business.

    I have a dozen tea towels to be given as a "token" gift, I would like to do something with them rather than just wrap in paper. Can any of you gals point me in the right direction,website etc., I am so taken by your towel cakes do you reckon I could do a multi colour one that would look nice? I would have to box it to send it through the post. Wait with anticipation.
