very good, well done. My imput here (please dont take offence) would be to put the wrap over of the blanket towards the back of the cake. I also try to tuck one free end of the blanket into the other, it makes for a neater finish.

Hi Girls, I dont want to tread on anybodies toes here, but I was thinking of advertising one of my cakes for sale on Ebay just to give it a try.

Are any of the girls on here against me doing so?

I would also like to know where I could purchase package boxes from and how much would they cost?

Also how much would it cost approx in P & P to send my cake out by courier?

Cheers
Nicky

Thanks Julie, will see what the other girls say. Do you know anything about the boxes or P&P prices?

If your going to send by royal mail take your cake to the post office and ask how much it would cost to send then add some on as for boxes i get my friend to get me mine but im sure you can get some on ebay

Nicky go for it, however not many sell on there so just be warned ... I have cakes on there are hardly sell any on there now yet have sold at least 75 on there previously!

I buy my boxes in bulk from defendapak. 12x12x18 inches but your cakes might be a different height. Also you will need to get your cake weighed to get a price for postage. You will be better off using a courier. I use parcel2go as they are cheapest
