Icing Whitner - can I use it for my buttercream? Where cab I buy it from?

Yes you can and you can buy it from most cake craft shops or eBay xx

 

[nuttymummy]

phew another hunt for the cake stuf LOL

takes ages!

ok:
10" white boxes with lids...£25.00 for 50 so would work out at 50p each
12" "....£30.00, works out at 60p each
cake drums are thicker by 1mm, so works out dearer than u can already get them for i think.
500g regal ice (white) £1.89
can only find 6" crank palette knife £6.00
8 pack PME tools £18.00

12" single thick cards (square) £8.00 for 10 (80p each)
12" nylon bag £2.00 (though they do tons of different types of disposables,parchment, nylon, and silicone etc.)
250g Regal ice colours £1.05
multistar clikstix £4.50
butterfly cutters 3 - £7.50

as for the cupcake boxes, (with the inserts) i can only get pink gingham, blue gingham and red and white polka dot boxes (fits 6 cupcakes)

i can get other boxes, but they dont come with inserts.

if any of u are wanting to order, id save up for abit and then buy in bulk what u need, it will be alot cheaper.....i spend at least £100 each time..sometimes £200 and i get stocked up on all the different coloured icings etc. then i dont need to order for a few months then.

great cake baby dance!! lovely colours!

 

[Jo]

Thank you xxx
How much are the cupcake boxes?
I'll have another gander at what I would like later, have a couple of poorly kids on my hands at the mo.
Just got 5 mins rest for a coffee and I check on here!!

 

[taperjeangirl]

apart from the cakes boxes thats pretty much what I pay at cakecraft.... only cos my orders are usually over £150 and I get a 7% discount !!

How much is it for their bulk packs of white fondant Tracey? x

 

[polo_princess]

Well girls, my Mercedes cake is now full steam ahead ... instead of hand making a Mercedes badge ive acquired a real one to use

But now im stuck for which way to use the colour scheme ... black cake with grey lettering, or grey cake with black lettering? Which do you think will look better?

 

[taperjeangirl]

I would go grey then black lettering...... but grey icing can be a total arse! Sometimes it cracks for no reason !

 

[Linzi]

Black & Grey personally but Im no expert

Im still waiting for my boxes & stuff to arrive Im really angry its been a fortnight & theyre not answering emails. It was only a tenners worth of stuff but it's a tenner still lol

I really want to do a giant cupcake for my brother its his 21st this month & think he'll love it just not sure how confident I am.

Also if anyone is after one of the giant cupcake tins they have them in hobbycraft but Id imagine theyre quite expensive

tracey could you possibly price this up for me hunny?
