    I don't know if someone has already said but when I was looking at the cases on ebay some of the brown check ones were listed as "large" and their measurements were different, so I think two different lots are being sold :confused:
  • I was going to start a seperate thread but then thought better of it as it would keep it all in one place....

    Does anyone have any ideas for something along similar lines but for men?
    I have been making swiss rolls and cupcakes this afternoon :) with face cloths and small stawberry soaps to top them then thought it would be a good idea to do a face cloth/soap thing for men??? Men do wash right? ;)

    Not sure I can roll a flannel in the style of a Chicken Madras!

    I'm just giving the men the same cup cakes but with brown face cloths :confused: but mine are gifts from my children so the men wont mind.
    What about doing the reindeer that are on here?
  • I am doing as the lady above is doing. I am making 1 cupcake but in black and white. will be from the children.

    Good idea to do one thats a bit 'masculine'...............all I've done have been choc.yule log ones and can only think of plain chocolate flannel cake for blokes -not sure what you'd top it with though unless it resembled something like a peanut .........:confused:

  • Well my hubby ain't getting a cupcake after he said it looked like a turd in a muffin case (once I have found the lead to my camera I will prove to you all my cupcakes are not turds!! :-) )

    I was trying to conjure up a beer glass design or the like?!?! Am I mad?!?!
    Perhaps a pair of socks and a face cloth made to look like a pint...oh jeese maybe ive been looking at cupcakes for too long!!! :-)

    Again something else I had thought of but not tried it. :) I do think it would work well though

    Somewhere on here (not sure which thread) someone did suggest a Guiness glass with black flannel at the bottom and either cream one at the top or cream scrunchie - I thought about that for OH but then I always go and tell him these ideas I see so no point............

    as for reindeers........crikey, forgot all about them and they're on my list of 'stuff to do'...............:eek:
