Hi carlymummy, I love your Pamper Cake. The colour is lovely and a real bargain at £15! I don't know how you managed it - with a bathrobe as well!

Is everone doing Xmas Cakes?
I havn't got round to making any yet and time is marching on. Awkward! when you use 0 - 3 mth clothes as it goes past the date.
Anyone who is making Xmas cakes - Are you doing 1, 2, or 3 Tiers?

I'm doing a 3 tier, its half done at the moment (been doing it in stages). I decided against putting any clothes in it like i was originally planning (partly because i would want them to be christmas ones and i couldnt get hold of any reasonably priced ones) but I'm using size 3 nappies, I don't want to use any bigger if the baby is little but i dont want to loose out on selling any because the nappies are too small, saying that I dont know what age babies tend to go into various sizes (can any mums help me on this one please?)

has anyone got any instructions (even rough ones) on how to make the motorbike style? Thanks

When I had a go at making mine I just followed a picture off the internet, it was quite simple but this is basically how I made mine:
Firstly I made the 'wheels' rolled approx 10 nappies and kept them together with a band I then took a muslin, rolled it lengthways so that is was as long as poss fed it through the centre of both wheels and secured with a pin hidden inside a wheel (if that makes any sense). Again I rolled another muslin and put this through the front wheel, I placed the baby bottle on top of a baby bib, then tied the muslin above leaving two short handlebars which I then padded out with cotton buds and covered the end with baby socks to look like handles. I placed a bib on top of the back wheel sat a teddy on and hey presto well kind of lol - here's a piccie

Hi Carlymummy, that's gorgeous, how did you make it please? Is the bathrobe inside the cake?

Thanks Sal
I rolled the bathrobe as neatly as I could and then wrapped a bath towel around fixing at the back, placed the goodies on top, decorated with the ribbon and that was it really :j

I was wondering if anyone has seen any red velour sleepsuits with matching bibs if poss! in 3-6 months saying 1st christmas!?! I have a lady who wants one but I can find any which actually say 1st Christmas. needs to be cheapish though as she doesnt want to spend much!!

The only thing closest to this I have seen is in Next
http://www.next.co.uk/shopping/children/newborn/1/5

Also Debenhams

Or
Disney shop uk online

Not cheap but soooo cute!

HTH a bit

Matalan have got their christmas stuff in at the moment, they had some nice sleepsuits but don't think they had 1st Christmas on - but defintely had bibs with it on. Hope this helps.

Hi all

I'll get straight to the point (!!) I run a baby giftware business in Hampshire and having just aquired a premesis I'm looking to expand my range and include Nappy Cakes.

I'm looking for a local craftsperson who can supply us with an initial order of around 8 - 10 cakes, and then on an as required basis.

The products have to be consistent in colour and content and cannot contain any high-street labels - Brands are fine though e.g. Disney

If anyone would be interested in supplying us please PM me and we'll discuss further.

Many thanks!!
Samantha

Hi Carlymummy,

Not quite what you're after, but the bibs are gorgeous! http://www.mothercare.com/s?Action=submit&rh=n%3A42764041&field-keywords=first+christmas

Hi vikki-louse, On the subject of nappies, I use size 2 which I reckon to be for 0 – Mths and size 3 for 3 – 6 mths. (This is on the advice of DIL as I am past all that being a grandma! LOL)
Anyway, I wouldn’t bother too much about them being bigger (definitely wouldn’t go smaller) as they can always use them when the time comes. I am thinking of using size 3 instead of 2.

Carlymummy, Matalan have a 2 pk xmas sleepsuits £5. 1 red with reindeer and 1 all over print. Not Velour though. Maybe you would find velour ones at markets etc instead of highstreet.
