    Oooh yeah, who is it who wraps the cello in a tube fashion around the cake? Thank you sooo much for this suggestion. I wrapped my blue one using that techinque and omg, how much easier is it! So much neater too. Thanks again anyway :)

    Thanks Bella,
    Couldn't pass up on the bargain cuddlerobes! And I've been dying to do a bathtime one for ages. Well I've posted (or rather three little pigs has) a new cake! Tubing is definately the way forward so thanks again for that great tip! I don't know if I carry on like this copying your wrapping, your blanket folding methods etc my cakes might look as good as yours!:rotfl:

    Hi everyone! Does anyone know where I can get some nice "cheap" hairbrushes from? I would prefer plain with no pictures and ideally white or pastel colours but all I can find is the ones with pictures on.
    Hi Moonpenny, I buy my brush/comb sets from 'Savers'. They have sets in pink, white and blue, £1 each. They come in a clear plastic tube. No motifs on them at all.
    (I also buy my pink and blue sponges from there, pk 2 54p ).
    A creative mess is better than tidy idleness :D

    Hi Becs. I love your cake and I think the ducks on top look great! I noticed a nice hairbrush (am obsessed with hairbrushes at moment) Can I ask you where you bought it?

    CandyB, Ooohhhh thanks! they sound just the thing (hairbrushes) and in a tube is even better. Trouble is, I shop in there regularly and my store doesn't stock them. I also get my sponges from there and they are 29p each. Not packs of 2

    Anyone taing sponges out of wrapper to put in cakes beware! I used to do this but had a couple I had taken out of wrapper and not used and a week later all the colour had gone funny. It must have been the air getting to it.

    Thanks Moonpenny,

    The brush and comb I bought was a set from Tesco £1.45. I wasn't sure about the ducks at first but now I like them.:o

    Becs, your bathtime cake looks lovely. Bet you're glad you got those towels now. it looks better wrapped on your cake than the picture/link you sent me looked.

    Does anyone know if there is a 'Savers' in Chelmsford?
