I hope I am not re posting, and just adding more clutter to the forum, but I have been banging my head against a wall trying to find any paper/kitchen towel in the UK that is anything like the viva brand (if anyone has found anything then please let me know!!!)
So, wandering round my flat today, I came across a scrap of faux silk material, and thought I would give it a go.......well it worked fabulously, and because it was such tight threads, it did not leave a pattern on the cake. Also once used it can be thrown in the wash to use again!!!
Please make sure you iron it first, I made this mistake first time, and I had a lovely crease down the middle of my cake!!!!!
Hope this helps someone?

great idea!!

Regular sheets of printer/copier paper work well, too.
