Snowflakebunny - The Cake Decorating Company have Chocopan on sale for £7.99 for 907g. Free shipping if you spend £25. I have used them loads of times and very happy with their service. (Now I need Chocopan......!!)
Kathy
I have used tCDC several times before (my other half went to school with the owners daughter! small world!!) but it would seem they don't do the gumpaste any more :-( That is where I got my first batch after a course but just called them and alas, they don't stock it now...just Satin Ice and their own stuff which they make themselves. I love the Choco-Pan stuff and don't really want to change. I've emailed Choco-pan directly to see if they have any other UK distributors so fingers crossed...it gave me a quote for shipping...$169! Ha! Definitely need a trip to the US of A!
AI think its just badly bruised Roxy, could be so much worse, like a break,lol. Never mind I'm enjoying all the sympathy, ha ha.
I'm tough ole bird, never have nothing wrong like colds etc, aches or pains, until I go on hols, hubby says, I'm the worse traveller of all time, the first thing we do is find the chemist, the last 3 times we went got a bad chest infection, counldnt speak, then I burnt my lip, then got stung, I think he dreads me going with him, ha HS.
AOh my gosh nanny you sound like me when we travel. Im terrible.
I guess it doesn't help when hubby gives me a senna to take with a glass of Turkish tap water and I didn't find out until later but was tap water. It a max strength senna! You can imagine the flight home with turbulence hahah! Funny now but I wanted to slaughter him at the time!
I'm sure that a cold press and an elevated leg will help nanny. Don't forget those trusty finger clicks that magically makes things you want appear! :D
Hi snowflakebunny :)
Bloody hell Nanny you don't have much luck on holiday do you? Maybe this time because you've hurt yourself before you go you'll be fine when you get there. Agree with Kuuushi elevated leg and cold press .
Kuuushi your gonna have a busy week, looking forward to seeing your minnie cake have been wanting to do one for ages for my mum but always change to something else that pops in my head.
AHa ha ha, am trying, but got a lively 5yr old its not easy. I have work tomorrow so gotta get on with it.
Cant wait to see your cake either Kelsey.
AHi everyone...:-)
Suzanne, gorgeous cake and sorry about what happened. But glad all were ok with the customer at the end. :-)
Barbara... Sorry about your little accidents but hope you get better soon.:smile:
Lizzy, beautiful cake and the elephant is sooo cute!!!!:-)
Kathy, I bought the white and the black lace mix and will be using at the end of the month. I hate to think about the colour bleeding to the cake if I airbrush the laces and that's whole reason I bought the ready coloured mix.
Hi snowflakebunny..... I also like to do a trip to USA. I check on google and I didn't see any uk sellers having the chocopan products. I even checked Global Sugar Art. Actually you can contact them through here and inquire about it. They use to have a separate thread for GSA. I have to say I love their chocolate paste!!! Never found anything nicer than that. It is very chocolaty and sooo much easier to use. Have you thought about using Satin Ice gum paste? It is actually really good.
AHi Bashini, long time no hear from you.
I used the satin gum paste all the time, very good price too @ £9.00 a tub from my local cake Dec shop.
What cakes do you have coming up Bashini?
AHi Barbara, I net more time with kids and was busy during the weekend too. I have a beach cake to do and I just made the starfishes. And Next week I have a wedding cake. So I have to get on making the cake topper which is the bride and groom with their bicycles!!! :)
Bashini was it you who needed a large starfish a while ago? How di you end up doing it?
ANo no Roxylee, it was me. I got some print put from the computer and cut it that shape and softened edges. I wanted to stand them up so stuck two skewers from the middle. :-)
ALizzy amazing cakes. Love them.
Barbara you should really get your knee checked.
Erm.. I can't remember lol
Haha Bashini I was right first time, glad you sorted it, having them standing is a good idea can't wait to see it.
That's lovely Siany, very pink was it hard to do, keeping them all the same width apart and straight?
Thank you nanny :) a bit fiddly but it got easier and i think with practice it would be a doddle

I was aiming for very pink. The fact its on a dummy made it easier I think. I got the tutorial from Way beyond Cakes by Mayen. Been wanting to try it for ages , it takes a while to do but its not too hard.. Its my bottom tier for my birthday cake.

AThanks for the link Tiddy that's a great price, the marvelous moulds ones are a bit pricy.
It looks great Siany,I really like the pink, my main living room wall is bright pink with black butterfly stickers on it. Are you making your own birthday cake then, like my house then only get one if you make it yourself.
AThanks Roxylee. :-)
Tiddy, forgot to say that your pillow cake is lovely and so is the new design!
Siany, loving the pink. Did you airbrush it?
AHi guys, wow there's some beautiful cakeage going on tonight! Not that I expect any less from your crazies!
I've finally glittered my minnie stuff... [img]http://i59.tinypic.com/2igyk9g.jpg[/img] [img]http://i57.tinypic.com/2dm6pte.jpg[/img] [img]http://i61.tinypic.com/1ryphe.jpg[/img]
