Some letter cut outs, various tools. The list could go on once I start looking!

I'd say eBay then. Only get things as you need them though, cos it works out expensive to buy everything. I've got quite a collection now, but I have nowhere to put it all

Where do you stand on imitation PME tools? I have some, and I don't have a problem with it. The quality is nowhere near as good, but for me, they do the job, and are a lot cheaper than genuine PME

Not only is it expensive to buy, its a case of finding the balance between want and need isn't it!

Also how do I upload photos properly? I used to do it but I can't remember for the life of me now, do I still need a photo bucket account?

Posted this on weddings but maybe this thread is where I should have asked. I am making a truffle tower for my daughters wedding!! Similar to this..

I have searched for suggestions on making it but none so far. Has anyone got any ideas. I thought of a chocolate cake in graduated layers and then shaped to a tower by cutting the sides then sticking truffles to it, they are mostly made and in freezer. Probably will use fudge icing on outside of cake to be a base for putting truffles on. Any suggestions/help would be great. Buying a fruit cake from M&S is not an option LOL

I know i'm soo late at posting this and it's possibly not relevant now but i know a few bakers who use styrofoam the gardening type and put the truffles onto sticks to poke into the styrofoam to keep them up in a tower shape.

If you look at the front one it looks as though they have used styrofoam also (is that what it's called :rotfl::rotfl:)

Anyways how did you get on with this hunny? x

Gotta agree with this, cake wrecks is the greatest place for full on belly laughs. It's given me a great lift when things aren't going well.

As promised, the finished cake to match the topper.
