thinking of going and getting some mcdonald straws and cutting them up- will that work instead of tea straws- im in the uk and cant buy tea straws.

TIA

I worked for me. I can't get bubble tea straws without ordering and once when in a crunch I used the McDonald's straws. Actually the tiered cakes in my photo's have McDonald straws for supports. I've transported cakes that I've used them in with no problems whatsoever.

They will work.

Burger King straws look like they make work too. I haven't tried it yet, but I am collecting them. When I get a drink I ask for an extra straw, they look at me like lady REALLY!!

Really Mdukes? There always on the side here in England, you can jst take them yurselfs ( some are far away from the counter too, so you cant be seen

- looks like im going to have to pay them a visit

thanks everyone- i feel abit clever thinking of this

awesome. id have to order bubble tea straws too( bit of a pita), but now its time to get my crew onto stealing ronalds straws!
