I have charged around £1 a cupcake, though a couple of people I charged £10 for 12, they ordered them when I very first sent my samples out, so I think I have undercharged, because I have added boxes to them and little embelishments, but I couldn't really go back and say, actually I want more now LOL.

In fact I have just done my first proper order, I'll uplaod in a min, I'm very proud of them :)

I made the butterflies, I did them a little while ago just messing and kept them, I used the plungers then dusted them with a yellow sparkle.

Fingers crossed my customer likes them x

Do you use proper butter or margarine? I find proper unsalted butter best, also adding more Icing sugar helps to make a stiffer consistency, thats what I do anyway, sure there are other suggestions too?

Thank you, i'm so pleased with them :)

Yep mine is the Wilton one, I got it in the pack from Craftcompany
I love it and haven't used the others that came with it except the filler, mine is a bit squished now as I keep trapping it under the washing up bowl :rofl:

I use the butter and cream cheese recipe to pipe them, I think all recipes we use are on page 1 :)

So im planning a mega day of baking tomorow. Bake and decorate MIL's cake, and Backe and cover with fondant Lara's (cousin) cake, ready to decorate in the morning before i leave for MIL's....
lol iv spent all day modelling, touching up MILs model and making peppa pig, as well as assorted bits na dbobs to put on mil's cake....im pretty chuffed tbh, considering its my first ever attempt at sugarcraft modelling :D
Oooh! And i finally got round to buying myself a turntable, got the PME tilting one and im too excited to christen it! Lol i love new things :haha::haha:
