Far too cute, I want this cake to scare people. I've been looking into using isomalt. Seems to be stable but not all of the brands are edible. Or using candy floss and adding that at the last minute in the venue.

What about using spun sugar that they use to make sugar baskets......


SSM beat me to it

Well don't knock it - you get extra points on B00ts own brand when you're 60+...:rotfl:

Speaking of which I just found triple points on any shampoo/cond in my B00ts mailing, handy for tomorrow's poo shop.

My TCC vouchers arrived today.

Hi

Do you have to inform Boots that you are over 60 or do they know from your registration form ? Haven't noticed any extra points on my account and I'm sure I've bought Boots own brand stuff. Thanks

I watched the shannon matthews drama. Very good acting. Shannons name has been changed and she now has a new family and identity. Very sad and traumatic for shannon. Cant believe we have people like that in the Uk who would live and treat their child like she did.

No good that a name has been changed as we all know it is about her. Or allegedly "about" her, since the BBC says it does not focus on her. The assumption of her grandparent seems to be that Shannon will know it is about her (whether or not her grandparent has seen the programme which she most likely has not - so, all good at judging something that we haven't seen - like I am doing now).

So, it's helped you understand/given you knowledge that there are people that treat their child "like this" and, arguably, giving you that knowledge is a good thing since the better public awareness and things that can be done as a result, the better.

But it's unacceptable that someone may watch and may relate something to something that happened to them and be upset by it*.

*I'm not saying I think it is unacceptable, but expressing that this is the line of argument that is being put forward in suggesting it's wrong to show.

Same problem as the candy floss, it loses its integrity quite quickly around moisture. If there's a way to make it, I'll find it!

Spun sugar will melt too. Guess it depends how greedy your mates are
