Thank you all. Apparently cake pulls date back to victorian times when the silver charms were actually baked in the cake, I’d never heard of it until my bride asked me the best way of doing it. I placed the charms between circles of greaseoroof paper to prevent them becoming stuck to the icing, and left the ribbons hanging down over the bottom tier, luckily the charms pulled out easily ! x
