Good luck cakes

Selling.... and buying!!

So I made just under £30 on ebay this week, got some more stuff I want to list tomorrow but also now working on a list of things to buy now so I can carry on experimenting. Esmer on MSE forums suggested these

Disposable piping bag
Wilton 1m nozzle

The daisy flower cutting tool/plunger
Small sugarpaste roller
Foam board to shape. 


I am also thinking of getting a Wilton 2D nozzle too. Anyone with any further suggestions would be greatly received, aims tomorrow are to package everything I have sold ready for posting on Monday, putting some more stuff on Ebay and then checking out ebay and other sites to spend my earnings, anyone have any tips??
I am also going to make some more cupcakes tomorrow ready for friends I have coming round on Monday, not sure yet but maybe something lemony. Checking out a couple of recipes later or in morning.


Yesterday I also quickly went to one of the local country markets to see what was being sold. I couldn't stop and chat to stall holders as I didn't have change for car parking (note for next time). What I saw it was only some home made breads/ buns and then some jams and chutneys. There are a couple of other ones I want to check out too so will keep posted on that. So will hopefully update tomorrow with some pics too.

An update

I made my lists last night and I am hoping to put the must do list on here and tick off as I go along, I have also made some cakes tonight and had a go at icing them, the results are not that great and I would say 'Going on a course' needs to move from the Would love to list to Need to list! They are ok but just not got that wow factor. I have a real issue with the finishing of swirls, any tips would be great. I think now that I need to work on experimenting with flavours and jotting down some ideas that would I think might work well and giving them a go. I didn't get my stuff on ebay last night but I think that is a must do to get some cash to purchase some cake decorating things and get some money to do a course. Any hints and tips would be gratefully received. I will post some pictures of the cakes I made today on here tomorrow.

Some experimenting

These were my first attempts with the piping bag! Not bad for a first go.
