    Aww thanks Craftygranny - I had tried that but it didn't look quite right and was all about the teddy iyswim and I really want it to be all about the hat!! will keep racking my brain...


    My daughter said could you use nappies to make a head shape and stick a couple of googly eyes on then put the hat on or use baby towels. She's as crazy as me so feel free to ignore her . lol

  • Ladies, all your cakes are really lovely. My sister says I should consider making and selling them but I've not done very many and think I need to do a few more for friends and get their feedback on wether they are good enough :o


    Here is my latest nappy cake

    My friend bought all the bits and just asked me to 'present' them for her. She was really pleased with it - just waiting to hear how the recipient liked it.
    It's easier to get forgiveness than to ask permission ;)
