Bobbis mummy I don't think they fit on the syringe but don't take my word for it cos I've not bought them yet! I've been looking at them on eBay this morning £7 ish for the two 1M and 2D plus p&p gonna ring my local shop shortly c if they've got them cos as usual for me 'I want them NOW'[/QUOTE]

Nanamia, did you go for the Ebay nozzles or source locally?? been looking at this set on Amazon, according to reviews it includes the 1M nozzle and has disposable bags too that can be reused once washed

Wow Nat that is fab. I bet he is delighted with that happy birthday Martin :-) I love it and you who said you couldn't do figures ( he he). Yeh I've had another look at the "huddle" n think you would need a deeper cake maybe two on top of each other. Maybe he could have an easier hobby next year possibly fishing!!!

Makeyourmummypround your cakes look fab. You must be very proud.

That's a great find Bobbismummy thank you, still haven't bought them! but I googled yesterday and dunelm mill had them for £1.64 each. I always use those strong disposable bags ( get mine from Lakeland - love that shop - officially they can be washed but I'm idle)

That's another great find Bindiboo well worth it . I usually use the ones from the cake shop about £2.30 each but if you are accompanying the cupcakes that's a much better idea. Thank you

Thank you! He loves it!

I followed the You Tube tutorial you posted Nanamia and it was really easy. Most difficult part was the hair as I didn't have the cutter she used in the video so I used a star shaped one instead!

I got a ouple of the cupcake carriers today. Haven't seen them yet as my mum picked them up for me but I think they will be a good buy. Great price too! Thanks Bindiboo!

Hi I have been lurking on this forum for ages now and thought it was about time I joined in.

There are some lovely cakes on here.

For years I have made Pamper & Nappy Cakes for craft fairs etc. But for Christmas my hubby brought me a silicone mould alphabet and numbers. Each mould is approx 4.50" big.

I made a cake for my granddaughter spelling her name out in cake in January and since then things have gone mad. I am doing a craft fair this weekend with my other items and have decided to promote the cakes to, so have made a letter cake spelling out SAY IT WITH CAKE all in different colours to stand in the middle of the stall and have made a load of mini cup cakes as free tasters. So wish me luck.

Cant put a picture up as it wont let me as new member will try again later not sure how many posts I have to do first.

So, my niece has asked me to do a birthday cake for my great nephew who is 1 in May. She wants a rainbow cake, I've never done one before so no idea where to start!!! I've just ordered some sugarflair gel colours, so anyone got a good recipe, or is it just basically a victoria sponge into different colours?

I looked online yesterday and this was out of stock so I asked to be notified when it came back in stock. I got a text at 7.30 this morning to say it was back in so I ordered 2 there and then. 2 hours later at work I was telling a friend and she went online to order one only to find they were out of stock again. I was so glad I hadn't waited!
