This morning at Wal-mart, I was looking for something for a SpongeBob cake and came across some small bendable ones (.88 cents) that would do fine. Also found some small Dora the Explorer and Care Bears (all .88 cents). Needless to say, I stocked up for those last minute orders. The cashier thought I had lost my marbles when I bought all they had. Just a find that I thought I would share.
Where do you find these?? Toy section?? I keep looking but have no luck...
I used the dora and boots one for the cake that i did in my gallery. They were cheap and saved me loads of time, not to mention the copywright issue.
WOW mee too...I had posted inanother thread about hese I stocked up too.....I found dora boot and swiper ....which made me super happy because when I did my Dora cake the toys alone came out to $20.00 crazy huh..........Also our Family Dollar store had Barbie Dolls for $3.00 ....thats only a penny more then the doll pick.....so I grabbed a few.....I love find like this ....
lets see.....The dollar tree had Coinderella stampers with the cinderella on top for $1.00 I grab........Just in case anyone else needs some of these items for there cakes......
The dollar stores are a great place to look. I bought the princess figurines for all my castle cakes at them. I got quite lucky during that winn-dixie closing thing too, when I bought out the bakery depts. stuff...I got rubbermaid tub after tub of those kits more than likely 1000 sets for around $50.00!
I had a friend that had an ice cream store and they did ice cream cakes. He closed his store and gave me all his supplies. I didn't have to buy any 1/4 sheet cake boxes for over a year. And every now and then, he calls that he has found something else. Got all kinds of sprinkles and plastic cake toppers like bowling, guitars , records (perfect for cupcakes). He even gave me several pre-packaged frozen cakes. I have to admit that I didn't keep those. I have a reputation, you know!
