Can't recommend enough!
Fast delivery and super lovely product. I have never worked with fondant/sugar paste before and it was a breeze thanks to this company, even amidst the crippling heatwave! 10/10 would recommend and will be coming back if I tackle baking again!

Hello Mary,
We're sorry to hear you're disappointed with your order. We can't see that you've contacted our customer service team about this issue, so we haven't had the opportunity to investigate or help resolve it.
Looking at your order, we can see that you purchased a clear stand. From your description, it may be that the protective film has not been fully removed, which can make the stand appear cloudy or the wrong colour.
A member of our customer service team will be in touch shortly to request some photos of the stand so we can investigate further and work towards a suitable resolution. We look forward to hearing from you and resolving this as quickly as possible.
