    Hello does anyone know if you can buy cigarillos from the supermarket?

    Thanks

    No, you can't, I've only seen them in. Specialist cake shops or online. They're really expensive too. I'd be inclined to use chocolate fingers instead :)

    Thanks for your help, I was planning on making 'I can't believe you made that' cake by Lorraine Pascale for OH's b-day. Has anyone had a go at this?

    Hi cake makers :wave: all your cakes are amazing

    I am after a little help please, I am a card crafter rather than a cake baker. My lovely SIL makes cakes for us all on out birthdays, I know she is wanting to subscribe to a magazine or online to improve her cake making skills, she also wants edible glitter, fondant die and some impression kits

    I am hoping to put together a hamper for her birthday in the theme of baking, can anyone recommend the cheapest places to buy?

    Thanks in advance

    Try the chocolate trading company as I found that they were the cheapest when I did a wedding cake earlier this year. They are only online mind but prices were good. Also try The craft company online as they were really good for all cakey things and I saved loads using them.

    I find the craft company about the cheapest for cakey stuff. Quick delivery too. I'm not sure about magazines though
