does anyone know how I can make flannel cakes?

Hi,
Thought this might be an idea to go with the flannel cakes, for those maybe of you creating a 'cup cake' theme.

also has anyone got easy guide to the reindeer flannels niece would like this.

thanks.

Hi Ladsmadd

Cake cases most of us use these from this seller: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Baking-Frenzy you cannot buy them big enough for flannels in the UK. Also the best flannels to use are the cheapy ones (25p) ish from Wilkos and places like that, they all fold up lovely.

Reindeer flannel link for you also: http://www.kckpl.lib.ks.us/ys/CRAFTS/Ratrein.htm

Hope this helps

You could make up the flannel and wrap a piece of card around to resemble the sides of a case, some people have done that - some pics on this thread and they look great.

Well that's it, everyone is getting towels for christmas ... the one craft item I can find in Spain!!

I've just come across this video showing how to make an elephant out of towels. They make it look so easy, will have to have a go at this later.
Also U tube links for frogs, dogs, monkeys, chickens, etc.etc,

My god, I'll have a zoo of towel animals soon.

These are lovely and such a novel idea
In Poundland they do a cocktail accessory
set its got little novelty umberellas and straws.
flags,novelty shaped sticks.Lots of fancy type
things that would be really useful for added decration

Wish I could describe this better but one of the things
in it are straws and half way up there are paper fruits
that kind of fan out.Its a really nice boxed set with lots
of things in it.They are where all the paper plates and
serviettes are displayed.If anyone has seen this set and
can describe it better please do

had a look on Debenhams they
have a lovely cupcake range
there is a lovely large ceramic
cupcake biscuit container and
a matching smaller one each were
£15 and £20.So pretty I can see them
being popular at Christmas time.
