    On the hunt for chocolate sultanas today ( I really must get a life!) I found some half price marshmallows in Wilkinsons - the big ones. I'm doing snowman soup for the school Christmas fair this weekend and thought I'd do Snowman Poop as well but now I've got myself in a tizz. Can I really use the pink marshmallows for that or just the white ones (see I told you I should get a life!) Surely only very poorly snowmen would have pink poop!

    If I can't bring myself to put the pink ones in, are there any other ideas that I could market them under. They're not really red enough to be reinderr noses.

    I need help!

    I've done a new Snowman Soup sheet, because I want to make them again this year but want to attract new and old customers - and thought repackaging the idea would help.

    If you would like a copy pm me

    Just has a think and realised that Cupcake holders are really easy to make;

    Take a piece of card and fold into a cone shape. Put a cupcake case inside and draw a line loosely around the top. Use a felt tip

    let go of the cone and you should have a nice curved line. Cut around the line, then squash your cone and cut a similar line from the bottom using your big curve as a guide

    You might have to play about with how long/wide you want it. When you are happy place on paper of your choice and draw round. I used a pair of decorative scissors to cut my top line

    393261715.jpg

    Us a bit of DS tape to affix and voila. This was done in a bit of a rush to share with you all so I would probably faff around quite a bit more and I used a punch to cut some pretty holes in the top. The paper used is not very nice either.

    I will not be paying for these, that's for sure.

    Hope you like.
