I dont use a coupler, just stick the nozzel in the bottom of the bag!
hmmm, should I be using one?

Thankyou

The reason i asked is because say if you have lots of cupcakes to ice...and you have put the buttercream in the bags already, using that you can just switch the nozzel over...i think....something like that lol

£5.99 is loads...i contacted the lady and told her and she was fine to pay it but...thats like 50p per rice paper!

Wow I had loads to catch up on, Jacs the cake looks Fabulous, I hope you have a fab day.
Georgie I haven't bought from there, them cupcakes look fab but look like they could take some work, how about just bright colours and maybe add Sesame street rice toppers to them

i

I'm not sure which book it is but the sunflowers look good, and there is some with beautiful butterflies on.

I love the books but shhh don't tell Ant I don't think I will get much use out of them as they are american and some of the things I don't understand what they are in English or we just can't get themover here

Wilton Wafer melts for example and they are used a lot!!

I Guess I will just have to blag some of it, the also "cheat" and use canned frosting, which apart from Betty Crocker Fudge I haven't really seen, oh yeah and decorating sugar in colours

Lookie what I got for my Birthday

I think Ant may have got them from Costco too as he did an Icing and sugar shop for me on Friday

usually you can find alternatives Jo. ike for ages i didnt know a graham cracker was just a digestive! I thought it was like a cream cracker


Okay, my mums said she will buy me a mixer so I need to pick one out I like kitchenaids but is the artisan really worth the extra £80-100? I was thinking of just getting the classic

 

[taperjeangirl]

i think you can only get the funky colours in artisan! and they have a bigger motor or something!

I want one!!!

 

[Blah11]

I'm not really bothered about getting a coloured one I don't think. maybe if I was buying it myself I'd get one but cos my mum is buying it I don't want to take the piss IYKWIM even though she says i should just get whatever one I want.

Oh is that what it is?? I though a creamcracker type thing as well
I have found some melts on ebay but P+P is about £11
I think I will just try coloured white chocolate and see how that goes I think the wafer bit probably keeps it together more"


Oooh Mixer shopping, how fun, I didn't get to choose mine but I love it soooo much, it came with a special cakemix/frosting attachment tha gets right to the bottom and scrapes the sides, just need to convince Ant I need another bowl or 2 to keep production goung , but they are about £35 each eek
