Last year I bought 2 fly covers that are brilliant and I desperately need some more as I am in the process of marzipanning and icing 15 Christmas Cakes! I have some mesh domes and some umbrella style ones but they are not nearly as good, not quite the right shape. I thought I bought them in Rocasa but I have tried Puerto del Rosario and Corralejo branches and no joy.
They are particularly useful as they have vertical sides and squash down flat for storage.
If anyone spots them please let me know - might be too late for this year but they'll be ready for the next season.

Tamara someone's waist line is going to be increased
We have seen the umbrella ones in the new
China Town but have a look next time in there for the ones you want.
By the way where do you buy your icing sugar? Elaine needs some to ice our cake that we brought our with us and has been
watered well in the last few weeks, we looked in Mercadona and they seem to only do small packets that appear quite expensive compared to UK
TIA

Thanks all. Yes I've seen them on Amazon, was just hoping somewhere here had them, I like to buy locally if I can.
This year I bought my icing sugar in um, um, hmmmm, Lidl I think! I 've made it in the past but I can't be bothered now to be honest. The first few years we were here I had to make the marzipan as well and it just meant everything took so long ……. Luckily Lidl now stock that as well although it's not as good as I used to get in the UK (not as pliable).
250g resealable bags but I can't recall the price.
BTW don't ever try to bring marzipan in your hand luggage - airport security nearly went ballistic and it all ended up in
tears the bin!

It is probably funny looking back at it Tamara but I bet it wasn’t at the time. Visions of you surrounded by armed
Police while they bring in the bomb squad for the “C4” spring to mind
Just getting my own back for the clingfilm ??
