does anyone know how I can make flannel cakes?

Maybe its cinammon sticks ??? I know I had a cappacino mug bought me with chocolates in it and a spoon type stick.........maybe it was cinammon now I think about it. If they're expensive maybe I'll just pop a little spoon in thats fairly decorative. I've got some small ones with bone handles I never use as they're a bit small and disappear into my mugs............lol

While I remember mumoftwo what are the
measurements of your christmas cake ?
I plan to make one for next christmas
but the one slice I have made looks like a
tubby triangle.

I drew a 5 inch line on cardboard, found the middle(2.5inch) and from that point drew 7 inches long, joined lines up to make triangle. I then drew2 inch 'flaps' to make the sides, cut out and shape, stick with a bit of cellotape

If I haven't described it very well, I can do pictures if you want...

spotted these in the Laura Ashley
sale they are coasters,they also come in
two other colours red and silver.
the single one on its own is reduced to
80p and the pack of four are £2
I wondered how these would work in
with the capuchino theme.I could
imagine a tall mug on the one with
the curved edges.

Nearest Morrisons is about 20 miles away. I could kick myself........when I popped in to the pub to meet OH this lunchtime and had a coffee they gave me a biscuit wrapped in cellophane. I never eat them. I should have brought it home...............always used to and had a nice little collection of them at one time. Must make mental note for next time.
Not too sure about making a chocolate spoon though............me and stuff in the kitchen don't mix very well..................lol No telling what would happen...........lol
Are those vanilla spoons fairly cheap to buy ? I've got a cappacino mug in the cupboard as well so thought I might do the same thing with that. At least it''ll have a use.

I am going to be busy if I want to reach my target of getting it all done by the end of August. Got cards to make as well !! Not even started on those yet. Got plenty of stuff to use on them so shouldn't have to go out and buy anything..............I'll have to double check though..........there's a sale on at our craft shop at the minute..........all the christmas embellishments, but I really must try and resist them..................the idea of it all is to use whatevers about the house and what I've already bought and I'm trying to keep check on what I''m spending. Don';t want to make it the most expensive Christmas ever.................lol
(Overspent today.............£14 instead of my usual £10 -or less!!)

is there any chance that your craft
shop has any plastic robins ? the
kind you put on christmas cakes ?
Still on the look out for one

I can have a look tomorrow. If they haven't got them in the craft shop they might have them in the cake decorating shop ............they sell all sorts there so I'll find out. How many are you after ?

Sorry made a mistake, the cake slice is 5inch wide and 6 inches long, not 7
