does anyone know how I can make flannel cakes?

Fab cakes cookie and love your labels, they look really great. Sorry may just have to nick your idea if you don't mind

Bought some flannels in Asda today, reduced to 10p each :T . They are Smart Price flannels but fine for making cakes with. I saw cream, pale blue and white.

Rosekitten,

Thank you so much for this thread and your inspiration!!! :j :j :j

I didn't want to spend a lot of money on gifts for my collegues as we already did a secret Santa but still wanted to give them something as I may not be working with them much longer.Thanks to you posting this thread and showing us your ideas, I made these...

faceclothes _ white - 20p Tesco, brown 89p for 4 in Morrison
ribbon £1.17 from Tesco. red chocolate balls, Boots and Lidl



Just noticed: I forgot 2 holly leaves!! :eek:

I know I am arriving late to this but I am sooooooooooooo impressed. I thought you were all knitting and sewing things - only just realised you're not! I'm definitely going to have a go at these!

Done some of the yule logs and was going to do a couple of miniature christmas cakes............they're not working out quite right though......too tall for the width if you see what I mean. Maybe once they've got ribbon round and some holly.......

If people are having trouble finding the right coloured flannels (I've noticed the chocolate brown ones are becoming harder to find in my Wilkos) then Primark sell a set of 4 for £1.50 and my local one (Portsmouth) has loads of browns, creams and whites.

You guys have really inspired me! I have decided to give hampers to the in-laws for Christmas and have already bought (and sort of made) my first yule log. I got the flannels from Primark. I'm also going to get some muffin cases and do socks for MIL and my neice and probably a couple of friends too :j

What with making these and nappy cakes, my DH thinks I have turned loppyloo! :rotfl:

No problems Mary! I think I will be getting my flannels from there as I am going to be making several of these to sell. My mum works at a small primary school and I offered to make some of these to sell at their Christmas fair! At least that way I can bulk buy the right colours so to speak.
