Hi everyone,
Some great cakes out there. I've not posted in ages but thought I'd post one of my "new" cakes. I've found a supplier for the blankets so have gone really upmarket with them so just have to hope they do well! I'm looking to sell them for £50.




Vikki_Louise I tend to agree with your mum, I think £12 is alot for what you are offering, it also doesn't look like there's much in the basket because it's all covered. You can try though and see what happens. Worst case scenario they don'gt sell it and you haven't lost anything by trying.

great cake

Thanks for your honest opionon, I will scrap it and use the stuff in a cake

I have been asked to do a "Christmas Creations Fayre" at the local Secondary school at the end of October. I have only made my nappy cakes so far and was not even making them at Christmas last year.

What do you recommend that I make that is more Christmassy? I don't want to pay out too much but feel people will be looking for Christmas presents rather than Nappy cakes.

Thanks

Thanks

I havent personally done any christmas cakes but I have seen them somewhere! Can't remember where it was!! But I think they had the usual nappy cake type stuff but with babys 1st xmas bib, little baby santa hat and christmas theme soft toy. They were single layer ones which I saw (think a single layer one would be enough for xmas!)

Hi Irlip....I did some one tier, with a white fleece blanket, 1st Christmas bib & socks.... a Christmas bodysuit vest or sleepsuit and a Christmas soft toy...Tesco had lovely (from birth) ones last year...and for the two & three tier just added extras from the above + a pair of Christmas bootees. Tesco, Asda & Mothercare had beautiful baby 1st Christmas things last year, in fact I got all my stock for this Christmas in the January sale & it cost me very little!:santa2:

I'm sure it will be, let places shift the school uniform type stuff and they'll be bringing it out lol some places have had cards in for a few weeks already!!
