Hi You can get edible glitter I ahve bought some but not been brave enought ti try it yet will probably get it everywhere and end up looking like a gliiter storm:p Play-doh is a great idea have you tried the rose yet let me know how you get on.:D

Oh cool, i'll have to have a closer look in the cake shop. Usually when i go in, DH is waiting outside and he moans about how long i spend in there just looking at things

When i make buttercream i end up with icing sugar everywhere. Looks like im very dusty :rotfl:

I tried a buttercream rose earlier, it failed miserably :rotfl::o




I made a blog about my cakes if anyone is interested

It tastes like homemade cake lovely there is not a week goes by at work when I am not asked to bake a cake. You will not get the same taste as shop bought ones as they are mass produced and have all sorts of additives in. I will pm you the recipe.:p

:rotfl: The lady in my one just ends up talking to me. She always asks if my DH wants to come in and i always say "No he wants to wait outside" Then she asks if he's smoking, so i say no and she'll say "Well he can come in then, as long as he's not smoking"

And im like "no he's not smoking, he just prefers to wait outside with the baby"

I dont think she understands why he wants to wait outside, but she's lovely

I only started the blog the other day so its very small

Well.... hopefully something like this

But I am altering it. I have some white and mint geen flowers and some large silver balls to go along the side so they look like studs. I am going to make 14 from white sugarpaste and cover them in glitter Dont know if to make them small and stick them on the front or large and put something on the back and stand them in the pieces I cut off to make the cake. The handle I am making from munchies yummy. Hopefrully it will be ok! Maybe up all night baking and in Asda the next morning buying a cake:rotfl:
