New Nappy Cake

vikki_louise

Thats awful Giggle. I decided to put my nappy cakes on gumtree (its free to place an advert) when i started. I was thrilled to get a reply quite soon after placing, but the guy made me really suspicious. I had uploaded 3 designs but he didnt seem to care which one, or whether its for a boy or girl (so i casually asked if it was for friends or family- to which he didnt reply). something just didnt feel right so i left it. Then i got another response which seemed very normal, but for some reason i decided to google the guys email address and there was a HUGe thread on gumtree about it, apparently its a scam. Seems gumtree are full of scammers (first and last time i use it!!)

For those who make cupcakes, Do you just sit them in the cake moulds or attache them using something. Also I saw on a link on here some one had packaging for tihem which made them look like real cakes any ideas where to get them from?

My Mum offered to take a sample into her work just to see if anybody liked them - what a brilliant response! Yay! I'd better get shopping now, hubby will be pleased :rotfl:

Thanks everyone! I will post a pic when I have made them
Now that I have found a stockist we have agreed that I will make a range exclusively for her shop - she wants to purchase (sale or return) two of each cakes from mini to luxury in blue, pink, neutral, bathtime and also some xmas themed (my xmas rubber ducks will some in handy!) The shop will be ready for relaunch by the end of Oct so need to get making, costing etc.
Thing is I have just been shopping B&M where I have been able to buy muslins, washcloths etc but they are all out of stock :0 Aaargh, any ideas ladies where I can get them, also struggling to buy cheap hooded towels. I had to cut my shopping trip short though as my son had an accident at school and split his chin open - kids ay!!!

Hi Carlymummy,
I've just ordered Muslins from https://www.babyoka.co.uk and am pleased with them. I've ordered plain ones and they work out at 50p each if you order enough for free postage.

I brought mine from baby oka and might order again but the cream isnt a very nice one and looks dirty when put with lighter creams
