    Thats the same one I have stored and saved for when I make mine. I am stocked up on flannels, I have some soap (asda smartprice 3 soaps in a pack for 19p) just need to go travelling to find brown pipe cleaners.

    my cup cases arrived so I have tried one
    out just to see how they might look,
    they have worked out around 8p each.
    my nieces are due up so we will have a go
    at doing the rest between us.

    Jadeben the only reason we did not use
    bath pearls was because we could not
    figure out a way of setting them in
    place on the top of the cake,also
    the cheapest localy was 30p each.

    Well done on your first cake! And NO it isn't naff!!! I use floristy cellophane (bought from Flower Hour shop on ebay) and cut it to the size needed but you can use cello bags instead - ebay would sell them but not sure what size you'd need, sorry.

    A tip for you ..... Stand still whilst holding a camera! ha ha! nah only joking sorry. Mine also arrived this morning, although my pins haven't arrived as yet and I haven't started to make any yet! Looks lovely.

    Cello bags can be bought from ebay, or from http://www.flowerhour.co.uk/?gclid=CLXW8t210ZQCFRoVEAodeTnpkw

Do any of you know where else i can get one from in hurry i have tried my local cake decorating shop and they don't do this sort. Have you seen them any where else? Thanks
