    If your putting a bottle inside the cake do you put a vest or anything inside the bottle to make it look like milk

    JulieH, First time I have used a bottle inside and as I needed to add another item but didn't have room, I put a bib inside it.

    Bellag - I save all those little card strips that you get inside bodysuits as they are great for making a little ramp on top of cakes to prop shoes up on so they are not completely flat. I also us a tube of the thickest Lining paper (Wallpaper) inside all my cakes to hold all tiers together and put things inside that.

    Hmmm, I must admit the designs dont vary as I was being lazy and made all 3 sample cakes up from one cake. Lol.

    Im thinking of adding some J and J products to the 3 tier, and maybe some extra socks on the 2nd tier of the 3 tier cake (make sense..?? lol).

    Does this sound ok?

    not sure if its been posted here but its for a free £5 voucher for mamas and papas, its a shame there isnt one near me. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1570275

    the offer is no longer available. I signed up when i first found out i was expecting completely forgot about it, It took months to come but got the £5 voucher at the weekend so i went to my nearest store and got this for £2.20 after 20% off and £5 deducted.

    It will get easier..eventually! I think I fathomed it by sheer flook tbh. Those instructions might as well be in chinese writing. He needs to simplify them with a step by step guide me thinks.
    I love it anyway now...you will soon too :)
