these are my latest cakes

They're beautiful, how do you get the bath pearl to sit on the top without it rolling around?

With mine I put a small piece of double sided sticky cellotape and it worked a treat.
2nd fair tomorrow.:eek: Mariae.

hi bravobeastie
thanks

i just sort of seperated the centre of the cake to make like a hole thing with my finger in the top of the cake
and sort of wedged it in hope that makes sense:rotfl:

Anyone looking for cheap flannels
definatly give Woolworths a try
they have up to 50% off everything
the flannels were working out
80p for 4 + 20% off and they have really nice
colours including red and green
very festive looking I though
at the moment its cheaper than
Asda

Also the glue guns & sticks are all very cheap too bought a gun and sticks for under £3 .Theres loads of stuff very cheap in the craft bits and
xmas decs.

its the reduced price then the % is taken off at the till,so its all very cheap.

fat eating this.

christmas sign 20p in Woolies
reused ribbon,cracker and rosette

tried everywhere localy to get cake decorations
for this and failed.Also the cakeboard is covered in a
fine cello wrap I have left it on so it can be reused

thanks for that it will be a big help
to others especially as some times
it can be difficult how to know to
set out a table for a sale if you have
not done one before.I try and do a
dummy run at home measuring out
a 3ft by 5ft space and then any
larger space on the day is a bonus.
the table space can vary from stall
to stall but 3ft by 5ft is usualy the
smallest you come by.

Also the 2 for £6 storage tubs in
Morrisons clear with a coloured lid
if you stack 3 of them they come
up to around the same the same
height as your table.throw a cloth
over the top and stand them on the
side of your table gives you extra
display space.

if your looking for useful storage that
you want to get rid of at the end of the
sale,then the open cardboard cabbage/
lettuce boxes/trays in the supermarkets are
ideal.
