    Snookles, Your cake is fabulous and incredible that it's your first attempt. I think it's lovely. The only thing I would say about the ribbons is that they perhaps don't look balanced? They're quite narrow on your tiers which are quite deep. You could try a wider ribbon underneath it? I use the florists polysatin ribbon in a complementing colour as it's really cheap but is about 4" so does suit cakes where the tiers are a good height.

    Here's my first attempt at a nappycake. Still not fully finished with it, not 100% happy with the ribbons yet. Do you ladies think it's good enough to sell? Hopefully the photo will come out..

    I've enjoyed looking at everyones cakes as ever :)

    I don't know when i last posted photos, my latest cake was a 1st birthday one which i hadnt done before and was a bit nervous as to how to do it. I've made very little on it as it had a £30 budget and the nappies alone were £0.16 each before the tshirts which weren't cheep. Anyway,
