I only found your cakes recently and fell in love with them. A lot of cakes I see are very similiar to each other but you really have your own style and I love the way you incorperate paper crafts into them :)
ReplyDeleteI wondered if you knew of anywhere that gave instruction for things like the animals Topsy turvy do as I would love to have a go at doing them but I have no plans of selling them so would work out expensive as its just something I want to fiddle with. I just wondered if you knew of a site that had instructions or anything. Thank you.
Post Pals, You might do some youtube searches for towel folding, like what they do on cruise ships. They have a lot of different animals that can be translated to working in baby washcloths.
