Well I just finished it, took longer than I thought it would.
AWow that's amazing looks soooooo good, how the hell do you do it lol
AThanks chezza, the tricky part is holding them there to make sure they stick, then of course they melt, so had to eat them, obviously, it's easy to do otherwise.
AI am truly amazed would love to do a cake like this but would be scared I would mess it up
Lovely cake Nanny that must have took ages to stick all those on though.

I am hoping to be able to go to the manchester one next year will see what happens nearer the time.
You wouldn't mess it up Chezza your star wars cake was great, give it a go and if it doesn't work out you can always eat the evidence
AAye roxy, it took awhiLe.
That's the beauty of this cake, can't really mess it up chezza.
Oooh nice anti grav cake Nanny!
Was thinking about the glitter/ebay thing and maybe if enough people complained they would take more notice? If you think about it there were quite a few on here that didnt even know about it so you can bet the general public ebay shopping won't either and its just wrong! Its probably kids cakes this ****e is getting sprinkled on after all!
I will also lodge a complaint with them 
and anyone else that has a spare few minutes should join in and get this stuff removed 
...rant over
On a lighter note...I am feeling very pleased with myself today as i do believe I may have come up with a solution to the much loathed Minecraft Squares 
I know myself how popular they are but also note many other bakers, not just me and not just here, dread the order for one as they are so fiddly and time consuming!
I am going to make sure ive got it all right and after CI do a tute on my findings ...will be seriously happy to have mastered it at last!
Also today have some questions......................
1. Where the hell has Kuuushi got to?
2. Did she get her Dinky and is lost in a cloud of airbrush dust somewhere?
3. Did she fix her car or get a new one?
4. Is she so small that she needed her car to get to the laptop?
5. When will Nanny reveal her true Ninja Identity?
AYou are a funny ninja tidds. But yes, kuuuuussssshhhhi where art tho!
AMight give it ago (I personally can't eat the evidence as not allowed to eat cake but my family can) also how do you do the cake then if I am gonna give it a ago lol
Hahaha you are so funny Tiddy, Lizzy is missing to it's not like her to not have popped in she must have been arrested for killing the builders
I will also put a complaint in to ebay over the glitter good idea.
I've not done a minecraft cake but when I did the square board on the alice cake I pressed my square impression mat into the fondant then ran over the lines with a pizza cutter to cut it into the individual squares, have you tried using the wax paper transfer method for the minecraft cakes?
Balloon stick Chezza :D....have a look on pinterest for anti gravity cake tutorial :)

Ooh that was a good idea :)
Yes wax paper is involved
ASearch party over guys! I'm here! *waves arms*
My car is still ****. Car sharing to work atm, it's not fun! Can't afford to fix it and can't afford a new on atm. Hubby did suprise me with buying me the dinky and kroma colours to cheer me up! Sorry tiddy, he goes wild with ebay watched items!
Really need a new job. Having a mare atm with it!!
Dinky comes tomorrow and I'm excited!
Sort of gutted about CI so trying to take my mind off it! You still up for that coffee though girls?
Thats rubbish news about your car Kuuushi, nice of your hubby to get you the dinky and colours to cheer you up you will have a lot of fun with that. Shame you can't get to CI had you already paid for tickets.
Look forward to seeing what you've come up with Tiddy your full of great ideas

Whats going on at work then? :(
Ahh don't worry about the Dinky! I gathered you had.......we will be wanting fab cake pictures of your new found talent when we get back though!

Really?! Oh dear, should I try and quote using a 7" square tin? That's my smallest tin, any idea how many portions that may be? Thanks for the diagram!! I hope your friend is ok. It's good that your quotes only differed by£20. I imagine it would be awkward if the price difference was a lot bigger!
You should get about 20 portions from a 7" square, less a couple that you discard when making the number 1.
AThanks Suzanne. I'll sort my quotes out. Unfortunately I've already sent a quote for an 8" tin, but I'll get a price for the 7" and ring my customer about it. Sometimes I think its better to talk over the phone rather than emailing!
Hey Kuushi you're back!
Hopefully I'll get to meet the northern crowd at CI next year cos I plan to go then, wootwoo!
AI'm looking forward to the pictures! We should do something around the Swansea Christmas markets or something if you're up for it? Whatdya say nanny? And whoever else in the surrounding areas? Lol
Work is a nightmare just clashing with this new guy who thinks he's on the apprentice not working with us. Christmas busied up is taking it out of me and I've just had enough of getting no respect or thanks for anything. I can do a million great things but I forget to order an item for an urgent pack and the world has fallen in. Psssh
Got a box box from work and I'm gonna have a go and turning it in to an airbrush vault hahaha!
AYes do please contact ebay about the lady selling the non edible stuff. I'm going to contact them again tomorrow too, ebay was acting up today and it took me 5 attempts to report an item!!! Just type 'Edable Art' (sic) & several of her listings come up. Can't believe she was justifying the product despite the fact that it was proven to be inedible!! It contains plastic & ground brass. Crikey...

Deffo! Me & Mr Tiddy always do our chrimbo shopping in Swansea
Oh work sounds crap Kuuush...take your bent rolling pins in wth you and give him a swift one upside the head
I have a box box like a mini tanning booth for cakes haha! Trust me though...it still gets everywhere lol
ASounds great! Now we just need to rope in nanny haha!
Work can do one tomorrow. I aim to do as very little as possible until 5 so I can get home and go to a friends engagement party. Although our engagement parties are mental. There's designer clobber all over the place and they're all done up like their waiting in queue for Jensen Ackles and they are loud as all kinds without the drink. Oh god the poor waiters...
I just use a big piece of cardboard that folds in three, I open it up and place another piece of carboard on top of that for a roof and mine never gets anywhere in my room. Maybe the cardboard absorbs the excess
AWow chatter boxes today or what?
Sorry been a bit awol I've been so busy but making progress with this silly Vegas cake finally.
Nanny love the malteasers cake, I'm hoping to attempt something similar next week for my brothers birthday. Just need to find the time...
But on a better note... 9 more sleeps!!!
APS. I want a dinky :(
PPS. Have you not made that cake yet tiddy? :p
AWay hey, i'm up for abit of Christmas market/pub shopping, oops, did I say pub? Well it would rude to come that way and sample one of Swansea's puds I think!
ABashini, I would die for straight edges on my cakes like that, your so clever.
