Shianne
Lindy Smith's site will give you details as she uses them on some of her cakes, however, either a haberdashery which particularly sells glitzy things for, say, children's dance outfits, fancy dress etc. Some craft shops do them as well, and you should be able to get the silver wire from them as well. I have silver, red and gold bullion wire which I have loads of as I was using it in floral displays so if you want to try some of that I could put some in an envelope for you?

Hi Rach,
I got the white fluffy feathers off ebay, can't remember who but it wasn't make-a-wish (although i did get some others from her) and then the other place was the one diyfavourboxes.co.uk which dizzy let me know about. I've got the exact one's i need now.
I have to start the cake tomorrow after i fetch the tin. Looking forward to seeing the end result.

My gosh Rach, you are busy! Send some orders my way please, i could do with some more!! I'd think it a bit daunting doing two cakes at a time. Good luck! I'm sure they'll look great.
