AMorning all. :-) Nanny I had to scrutinise it and I thought maybe the letters were not centred. It amounts to the same thing tho doesn't it? It's lovely, the little handprints are so cute, I'm sure they'll be delighted. The last cake I made, the letters were all over the place! I didn't even show you all cos it was awful! Maybe I should now tho, if nothing else it'll show you that there's really nothing wrong with yours!

AGood afternoon everyone!!!!:D

Barbara, it's lovely!!! I'm sure they will love it. :grin: When you are sticking the edible images, use a little bit of trex. It's easy to take the image off if you misplaced it!!!:)

AYeah, I can see it now when I look at the bow. It's hardly anything tho nanny, I think they'll be delighted. Want to see skewiff? [IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3216589/width/200/height/400[/IMG] That's skewiff! Don't you feel better now?! :-D

ANo problem Barbara!! :)

Maisie, love your cake. I still cannot get those particulate letters inline on the board. Very rarely I use them for this reason. I know they are beautiful, but to put on a round cake/board is a nightmare!! :-(

AThanks bashini, did you ignore the great big bit of lumpy fondant or did you take pity on me and just be kind?! I think the letters are actually different sizes. I know some are wider than others but I think there's a height difference too. In this case it was me and not the letters. I placed them on the board and took a photo so I could refer to it as I stuck them. [IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3216590/width/200/height/400[/IMG] It didn't work but don't they look much better before I stuck them?

Oh you'll all thank me soon I'm sure. I've just bought 2 bunnies to make cupcakes, so sweet.

Well the way I look at it is if I have to get up at the crack of dawn at my age then buying things like this that makes me soooo happy then why not eh?

AOh yes I can see why I've confused you all, bunny cutters I meant, they look lovely on a pic I saw in grass with a toadstool and a ladybird, I've been asked to make some Easter cupcakes and this is what I'm gonna make.

Oooh I'd love to see her, even better, Paul Hollywood, he can knead my buns any day!!

:o better shield small children from this Nanny! :grin:  I saw him last year from a distance with queen Mary herself!  The crowd was going mad.  I decided to get myself nearer the front this year so I don't have to squint.  Got a chocolate shoe demonstration by Tracy Mann before we go to see Mitch Turner.  Sadly no Paul Hollywood this year.

AAre you making a square cake, Barbara? You can divide the cake in half, not from the centre though, from one corner to the other. Then cover on side with the colour of the rugby shirt and maybe the logo on it? And on the other half, you can make a small power station?:roll:

AOh well you can do things like that, Gatwick air China type person you!! But for mere mortals like me, a power station, you kidding me?

How would you do it?
