does anyone know how I can make flannel cakes?

I think they are really pretty and the colours they have used are nice.
I`m wanting to make some similar so really need the boxes, might ask them in craft central if they can make boxes or at least give me a demo! I want to add a professional look to mine as I`m planning on selling them at fairs etc

I am sat here knowing I sent a
large book on Cartonage to the
charity shop.It had all the
instructions and patterns on how
to make boxes and cartons of every
shape and kind.Wish I had not been so
hasty now.ever felt like kicking yourself ?

Saw this site on web, also sell end caps... http://www.boxes-bags.com/acatalog/Clear-Round-Tubing.html

I guess you can buy long tubes and cut them down? I'm going to have a measure of a cupcake later on and price it up, just out of interest.

Could you make your own tubes using acetate sheets folded round and stuck with glue/double sided tape and buy the end caps?

Just seen these big cakes in boxes on www.dotcomgiftshop.com ...

They use a hand towel and flannel and 3 soaps - £16!!! I love this, would make a fab wedding or christening pressie. Will try and keep this in my head for my nan for Xmas, never know what to get her

Someone on eBay is selling these. I think they'd work quite well for the cupcake/section of a log.

Yeah I agree here, they do look good but £16 plus p&p :eek:

I`m sure us MSErs could make some up at minimum cost.

Yep, I wasn't thinking of buying one, just nicking/using the idea and try to make one. If my nan knew I'd spent £16 on a hand towel and flannel she'd go mad at me!!!

Rosekitten, they are sooooo cute!! I still love the cupcakes so much, I need to go onto ebay again and see if they have more cute cakecases. The ones I have given away have gone down so well. I just wrapped them in nice cellophane but would like a box, would look so much more professional especially if you want to sell them. I have so many flannels now, I would like to sell them too at the school summer fayre

Wonderful photos.

It is about time some of you got together and went into business, the things you have made are wonderful.
