Oh Cherydee, I'm sorry about your grandson. I'm glad nothing was broken and hope his bruises go down soon x

Thanks Annie...he seems to be in a sorry state, but he always seems to bounce back...it always seems to be his face whenever he hurts himself...how he's never had a broken nose I will never know.

Having a bit of a dilemma....busy icing 50 ice cream cone cupcakes and I'm putting each one in a plastic drinking cup...still not giving them much stability...just wondering how I'm going to transport them all to the party in the car.

Hi Cherrydee
Glad to hear he is ok I ams sure it will be forgotten about when he is at the party. The only way I can think of is to put them into a box with kitchen roll cushioning them packed all around and in between to keep them steady.
Hope he has a fab time and they stay upright:p

I always have a nightmare transporting ice cream cone cakes. They are a bit top heavy and with the narrow base, they always manage to fall over :mad:

Yes, starting to feel stressed out now...I think I've just taken it out on Jehovahs witnesses, bad time to come knocking on the door...but it has been the third time in a week.

Thanks AnnieH, will have a look, am terrified of messing it up as he loves Scooby, last year it was Spongebob and Plankton and they were much easier ( a square and a oval!!)

You can buy a starter kit on eBay. You'll get a rolling pin, some plunger cutters and some modelling tools.

Well I've done the Rapunzel tower for my first commissioned cake (due Friday). I feel like I've bitten off more than I can chew. I hope I can deliver, but it's harder than I thought it would be.
