Sorry 1 more question if someone can help me please? What sort of colouring is best? I obviously don't want to spend too much money but I do want it to look as good as possible

Thanks xxx

I use Sugarflair colouring pastes. You only litterally need a tiny bit of it to colour so it goes a long way(I dip a cocktail stick into the colour then dip that into the buttercream and that is all you need!). This is the website I use icing paste colourings : Cake Stuff Its the cheapest Ive found. My local cake shop sells them for £2.50 each! Delievery is £2.99 from that site. If you only want one colour though you may be better off buying them off ebay.

oooh no actually for the first pink one with the flowers I just used a teeny bit of red Dr Otker food colouring from the supermarket to make it pink, and for the 'Special Delivery' and Christening cake I used Asda's own pink food colouring. Didnt have my sugarflair ones then.

i only pay £2.10 for my sugarflair pastes

paste is definately better/stronger colour than liquid

yes, Ive spent a fortune on that site already! I got some cake boards and boxes in bulk which are currently sat in my spare room along with 5 boxes of icing sugar and 30 cupcake boxes

I havent actually made any money yet cos I just keep spending it as soon as I get it
