Thanks Crafty JuJu
I used ones I bought from Lakeland (prob not the cheapest) and then used a bag sealer to chop to size.
If I was to do it again, I would buy the right size bags!!!

I'm doing a school craft sale this weekend - i'm doing a cookie decorating stall. I'm making gingerbread & butter biscuits in the shapes of reindeer, stars & xmas trees. The kids pay for their biscuits then I provide all the things for them to decorate them with. I'm making up multi-packs of plain biscuits for the kids to buy & decorate at home. I've made up 28packs of reindeer food. (a bag of porridge oats, edible glitter and pink sugar sparkles) in paper bags - like mix-up sweetie bags. I've made some little tags with reindeer metallic confetti stuck to them and a little poem. As all the ingredients are edible I could also use it for elf/princess porridge - its should just be glittery and a little sweeter than the plain shop-bought stuff.

As its the icing that's pricey does anyone have any hints on where to get cheap toppings/decorations? So far I have:
silver balls
chocolate stars
orange & yelllow stars
hundreds & thousands
chocolate sprinkles

Any ideas where I could get some green/red sherbert or green/red boiled sweets to crush up - on the cheap.

when i did my fair on saturday i had a few ladies come over and ask the price of snowman soup ect... i told them the price and they huffed and walked off,
about 20 mins later after selling a few snowman soup one of the ladies came back and said as "ive sold some so i must of put my prices down " i replied "no they are still £1.50 each " she huffed and walked off again.

Later in the day with the fair nearly over and only a few soups and makes left the ladies walked back over moaned that there was must left to choose from and bought a few soups at £1.50 each.

i stuck to my guns and refused to reduce anything and came away with a nice profit

i didnt mean to worry you, i wrote that post to try and say dont lower your prices, you will always get people who want something for nothing, and those ladies did buy the snowman soup at my original price, everyone else who bought from me were happy with the prices, you always get the odd one who moans
