well done they look brill!!

You know the ribbon you have around the side?? that is ALWAYS pennies in the january sales! ALWAYS ALWAYS! you might already know that, but if not..theres a nice money saving tip for next year!! Save on your cake ribbon - woolies or superdrug or somewhere!!

they look really nice!!

leni

thanks for the tip re ribbon, that cost me 85p per metre from Boyes, 1 metre does about 3 cakes.

no probs!! there is usually between 5m-10m for between 25p and £1 come sale time! it has wire round the top and bottom so will mould to the cake shape! :money: think wilkinsons etc do it too..the usual suspects!! all colours and designs!


are you giving them for presents?

leni

yeah, their for family and close friends. But I made too many so might give leave them at work for people to take home with them, think I'll have 3 left over.

My tip is - use the 51p tins that you get from the supermarket with sponge puddings in, clean them out and this is what I used to make my 4" cakes, ideal for presents!

Leni, they are beautiful, I would be so touched if someone had taken the time to make one of those for me.

This is mine, i was very pleased with it, as its my first attempt, and the children and i made the figures out of icing and marzipan!!!! If you click on the pictures, they come up bigger.
Yours are beautiful Leni, maybe one day mine will be as good!!!!!

Leni and Catowen they are absolutely superb.
Much better than shop bought.
I am not very good at cakes but I feel quite inspired looking at them.
They all look too nice to eat.

Catowen - I can't see yours!
