    clair-123, Anywhere and everywhere!

    Supermarkets, card shops, toy shops, department stores, internet!!

    I got some nice ones out of baby dept in BHS a while ago but waited till they had 20% off day. Card shops very often reduce toys after event like Mothers Day etc.
    Be careful about the age the toy is intended for. I like to buy "from birth" but have had toys for "12 mths plus"
    Personally, I don't like to go above that (it's usually 3 yrs) but I know other people do. Just as long as you leave the label on stating that, then you should be O.K.
  • Hi Moonpenny

    Thanks for the advice on the teddies moonpenny, and whoever it was that suggested using a roses tin for swirling the nappies, thank you too, I usually roll mine, but I tried this method and it took me half the time to bake my cake. Its really quick, I will be doing this every time a bake a cake now

    Hi Mumoffour77

    Found this, I presume these are the boxes you mean?

    They work out at 53p each but they are in packs of 30.

    Good Afternoon Ladies

    Hope you're all well?

    Some lovely cakes made recently!

    I've been busy today making some Easter gifts and another nappy cake for a baby boy. The toy on top I managed to get is suitable from birth and I didn't realise until I got it home that it rattles too! It's lovely and soft.

    Anyway, hope you're all well and the pictures of my makes can be seen on my blog, which you can find by clicking on my user name. (seeing as we can't put links up to our blogs anymore!)

  • Itnc, you need to upload your pictures to photobucket or tinypic and then post the link from there :)
    It's easier to get forgiveness than to ask permission ;)
