can anyone recomened me a online shop for buying supplies such as dowels etc? i dont get time for shopping during the week

Almond Art (google it!) they're brilliant, I use them all the time and have never had any problems. fairly competitively priced too. They've done well out of me recently as I'm making my own wedding cake.

Daft question but I dont get what you mean in your last bit, Id design it on word how do I get this on to a photocake topper?? Do I send it and they do it?

I get it......having a dumb moment. thank you so much I didnt even know things like this existed

Hi,

I sell 'photo cake Toppers' on ebay, they are just a thin sheet of icing (like a piece of paper). You can print anything onto them, Supermarkets use them for Birthday Cakes with your own photo on.

Cheers. Can I ask then could I just get a label of a bottle of whisky and have it put onto this to make it edible?

not too sure what you mean, but you can take a photo of a label and have that printed onto the icing topper, but you would have to work out the sizing, as the person printing it would scale the photo up, to fill the whole of the icing sheet, unless you tell them otherwise
