    This is my first attemped at the cupcakes and my first time posting a pic so i hope it turns out ok. I really wish i had bought some cases as i think they would look better than the rough homemade look. They are for my mum what do you think?

    Hi Rainmac, When you first roll them over I don't do them as small I roll them 3 times if tha makes sense, also helps them reach the bottom of the cases :) then just have to roll them as tight as possible, if they are then too loose in the case when you let go them seen to unravel a little and fill out the case. Give it another try then if you need me to do a tutorial of some kind I will see what I can muster up :)

    Thanks Rusty, going to give this a go, will let you know how I get on :D

    knocked of the bottom half of the
    page.I have had to relist the pics

    made what so when I have time
    I will go through the thread and
