I buy from all over Mandy - just try to get the best prices.  These people also have a small spray gun to which you can attach these cans to spray - it's really cheap so I don't know how good it would be, but I am thinking of getting one just to see if it's any good as I always get in a terrible mess when I spray (like all over my fingers!).

Thanks Mandy.  Do you know you can also buy spray edible glaze?  It doesn't make it shine quite as much as I believe steaming does, but it does give things a bit of a sheen.  If you use it, don't spray to close or you will get too much liquid and your colours will run or bleed (speaking from experience lol).  About 8 or 9 inches should do it.

These are small nozzles out of a set with has No 7 on it.  they did take ages but was for a friend so that extra time was from the heart. next time though I will use dry powder saw it on you tube (after!) & once all the colours have been applied you use steam from the kettle to wet and shine. always a learning curve

Mandy these are beautiful.  They must have taken you ages to do, what with all the different colours on the butterflies and piping.  I particularly like the piping on the rose like ones (second from left on top and second row) - what tip do you use for this?
