Hi all
I need some help, well ideas really!
I got an order in yesterday to make a 60th wedding anniversary cake. The couple don't drink alcohol, but the girl who has ordered it would like a bottle non alcoholic sparkling wine if possible.

Any suggestions for things to go inside?

you can get non alcholic wine from supermarket - how about diamond effect napking holders (diamond for the 60th anniversary) or diamond paperweight

how about a photo frame; vase - do you have any ideas of what they do like?

ive only ever sold acouple of towel cakes and they were to family friends, i think one of them i made a loss on (as she got the price wrong and i didnt have the heart to say anything) and the other i think was at cost price. Ive now done some that have 1 x 140ml body scrub, 1 x 50ml shower gel, 1 x 50ml bubble bath, 1 x 50ml body, 1 X cupcake candle, 1 X Marks and Spencers hand towel in them, how much would you charge for them?

It depends on how much the items cost you. I tend to make up cakes and sell them for £15, I tend to make £5 on each one, if I sell them at £15, if I get orders in for more expensive cakes I like to take about a third out.
I usually put in a hand towel, a bath towel about 2 -3 bath products, a small bottle wine and maybe a few ferro rochers.
