I have just started to decorate my own cakes, I was given a cake decorating book for my birthday after constantly complaining about the quality of birthday cakes in the supermarket.
My question is this; where [online] would you recommend I buy my bits and pieces, and what should I buy?
I have had a look around and am feeling overwhelmed by the choice. What colour paste should I go for? I am also a bit confused about edible sparkle/glitter powder. Some websites say it it inedible, some say it is non toxic and you could eat it.

Ahh - ok - I will have to go and change the permsissions on those then - only the cakes are meant to be public blush. Yes that would be me [duh] but it was a long time ago!

oh, then someone else has made a Leo pirate ship and a science cake (conical flask and test tubes)
It was holiday photos of what I think was South Africa.

Sorry Debi I think you are in the wrong place

<<racks brain to think of penguin connection and fails>>

My fairy castle is just finished but won't hit flickr until the (proper) morning!

Ooh, I've just found Stealth's science cake too - it looks amazing in action!

Moosy, your horse is gorgeous, I love the eyelashes and the sparkles on the cake. Like someone else said, it's really girly without being pink.

I am struggling with my house. What I thought was a basic L shaped house with sloping roof actually involves a hugely complicated roof and changes in height on the walls. I'm a cake maker, not a sodding architect grin.

ok unbelievably when I put dry ice cake into the flickr search it came up with loads of them! So not found the right one yet.

that's brilliant Moosy. I agree, you could make a funny gruesome cake with the headless horse grin

Now I have to have a nosy for stealth's cakes. Can't imagine dry ice on a cake!
