    i would advise against it , i got involved with a lovely shop about 20years ago, when i used to do machine knitting, 10 days before xmas i got a call
    she wanted 60 snowman jumpers with hats and scarfs ! omg i nearly died
    still remember going days without sleep and having to get the family to help
    ended up going to the shop to deliver and found out she was marking up 150%
    so i would be careful

    I have finally made up the 3 bath time cakes.
    Have yet to wrap them (need a few cups of tea first), but have to deliver the pink one tonight.
    The pink one wrapped was a previous cake, but they will all be wrapped the same way.
    Do you think a yellow bow and trailing yellow and brown ribbons will be ok .... don't really have any others that I could use.
    Although you cannot see it, i've used the spotty ribbon on the pink and beige sets and 2 lots of blue ribbon, a plain blue and 'Tiny hands & feet' on the blue one.

    Sorry for the bad photography, the camera keeps shutting down ... low battery, and not one where I can just slip in some AA batteries, much too technical for me!

    My darling 4 year old is most put out, due to the fact that I have 'forgotten' to put the teddies on :rotfl: :rotfl: Bless her.

    Jojo, that looks lovely.
    Hmmm, somebody else who can tie lovely bows :mad:
    Why can't I ???????????????

    Thanks, the ribbon & bows took me longer than making the cake it's self!!
    I nearly gave up & ditched the bows! Just need to sell the cake now, hopping someone on my facebook group will see it:D

    Justa quick question for those of you who do fairs, how do you price things both the cakes & smaller bits? Do you let people ask how much they are? Also on the smaller items (sock cupcakes etc) do you label all of them with ingredients?

    Thanks.

    They look lovely! Well done, I love the spotty ribbons!!! where did you get your duckys from??

    I think yellow bow and yellow and brown ribbons should be ok, failing that do you have any cream ribbon?

    The ducks are from Poundland, a pack of 6.
    You get 1 of each colour .... pink, blue, green, purple, orange, yellow.

    Thought I could tie in the green one in a blue cake, the orange one in a yellow cake, and then purple in a pink one ..... and just use co-ordinating ribbons.

    No cream curling ribbons, and only a large cream bow.
    Oh well, I'll give it go and if not, I'll have to go shopping ;)
