    Hi, I've noticed one or two of you saying you've put pics of your cakes on FB and then got orders from people. Did you just put them on your own profile or did you set up a profile or group specially for your cakes?

    This has probably been asked before but do I need to do anything if I wish to stack cakes on top of each other?

    TIA
