Melanie Clarke commented on suzy forbes's blog post An awful lot of cake!"AH that's a shame you can't come Barbara, tell Nick to stay, the cake will be safer if you drive haha. We've assembled the top garden out of cake onto the board in the kitchen of the new tearoom and then had a sick…"
Melanie Clarke commented on suzy forbes's blog post An awful lot of cake!"Hi Suzy
Our board is a similar size, I just got MDF from a local DIY shop and covered it in the tin foil stuff normal cake boards have on and that was only 90p from a cake shop, so just under £6 for the lot"

So the hall will be made of polystyrene cake dummies decorated with fondant & such like. Plus i want to bring it…"
