How do you all find silicone tins? OK? or do you prefer the original metal ones?

think i will stick to covering and customising prams! lol

i have to use the deep pans too...by the way i loooooove the custom stroller/pram covers u do.do you do them for all different ones and carseats as well?

can only do them on a buggy i have cos i need to work on it not just from measurements. that doesnt work. I have done one for a freind but took her pram home with me foe the night whilst i did it.
carseats possible if covers are sent to me in post. someone from ebay is doing this. )

wow i love those and will have to keep that in mind. i have a carseat that we have had for awhile through the family and it ha an extra cover but i dont like it and i have tons of material as i like to sew too but im not that crafty yet...lol i need some1 else to sew it up for me.

Hi ladies, I have just read the first 250 pages of this thread! Was going to try to read it all before i asked to join, but boy can you guys chat!!!

SO please can i join you - I am a novice baker, I have done 3 decorated cakes so far and I am making a pirate cake for my Nephew's 4th birthday atm.

I am going to try to upload some pics.
My first ever attempt at icing a cake is the yellow present cake, the next one I did was the cricket cake and then the last one was the daisy cake. Plus a victoria sandwich and some choc and hazelnut cupcakes!

All of your cakes look so good, you are all an inspiration! i have especially liked seeing how people have progressed and grown in confidence!

argh, after my cookie monster disasters i decided to invest in some sugar flair past colourings.... i ordered 10 various colours, and today i recieved 9 christmas red and 1 melon :/ i didnt even order a melon one

 

[Glitterfairy]

Oh nooo! Where did u order those from?

 

[kimbobaloobob]

ebay, from party animal my actuall order was
1 melon
9 christmas red
23 baby blue
5 mint green
14 grape violet
11 pink
18 ruby
15liquorice
29 cream
7 iceblue
so i can understand the mix up to a degree but how surely she must have seen the rest of the order and clicked in concidering she was the person who gave the colours those numbers

 

[Glitterfairy]

Hope she can sort it out for you and give you a refund or the colours u want! x

 

[kimbobaloobob]

and me... otherwise i think i will have to please OH and make lots of man united coloured cakes with my 9 pots of christmas red

 

[Glitterfairy]

PMSL lots and lots of red cakes.
My OH is a big Man U fan...you can do him some too. LOL

 

[kimbobaloobob]

i think i would be too embarased to give him mine after hes been used to yours, have you seen the new man u kit??? looks like one they had in the 90's... shes just emailed back and is popping me my real order in the post tomorow bless her

 

[Glitterfairy]

No...the only new shirt i've seen is the Everton one...because it's PINK! Tee Hee

The Sugarflair paste colours are really good though and last ages.

 

[Tsia]

ok let me ask a few questions. these coloured icings.. you colour them yourself? or buy ready coloured ready to roll stuff?

and the plain white icing base on most cakes.. is that ready to roll or do you make your own?
sorry if I sound thick. lol

 

[gemgti]

You buy them in a block and you just have to knead it and then roll out.

You can either buy it ready coloured or you can colour it yourself
