PBM, what sort of a cake topper are you looking for, I have a girl kneeling if it would be of any use to you!

Oh Cikecaka if only
This is the first grandchild/daughter for MIL who had 4 boys, so we are making a castle cake (It is abit OTT and not very communion like but tbh I don't mind MIL bought dress so I'm willing to indulge)
I will find a pic and let you see there is a sugar craft shop on the other side of Belfast I can go to aparently does them, and a cake shop near me that apparently will sell cake toppers

I'm making a 70 birthday cake for May, am not good with the decoration tho. am planning on taking a course in sept at the college I go to!

The castle topper only costs £20, and I can make the rest
here

Plum - that is some serious cake making!!! don't remember having a special cake for mine, think we all went out to lunch somewhere 'posh' in Dublin.

TA - sorry crap joke re pub/lab, hope it's fun.
