Cant keep up with all the orders. recently done a couple of markets and sold out of everything practically. last market i came home with just 5 items..
so cant complain but just need to get the end of the waiting list

natnat13

There's definately something in that theory then, I am mega busy too! Not complaining though, glad everyone else is doing well too xx Quick question for the long timers! Do you sell many christmas themed nappy cakes?

fab news,i asked my daughters pre-school if i would be able to set a table up when they do there school play as they generally do teas,coffees and raffles.the teaher said she would ask the head of pre-school andget back to me,she spoke to me this morning and said they would set me up a table as from november yay so its just a case of what to make up
reindeer food
snowman soup
reindeer poop
personalised letters from santa (to order)
some of my smaller bits like cappucino wash cloths,socks cupcakes,wash cloth lollys.i also have pics of all my cakes in a photo album which i will display rather than make them up as its mainly xmas stuff i want to do

does that sound ok?

If you are popping into your local Tesco, have a look at the reductions in the baby aisle as I have just got a Disney hooded towel in cream with a pink and blue 'Peek a Boo' Roo on reduced from £6 to £3 I also picked up 2 comforters (gina Giraffe and Geoffrey Giraffe) reduced from £3.50 each to £1.50 - I have used these on top of my 3 tier cakes.

Wow, I've spent the last few days reading the whole of this thread, all 191 pages of it! My OH's best friend and his wife are expecting their first baby in November and I wanted to make something special for them....so here I am and it's gone from a 'maybe' to a 'certain!

I have a list of everything I want/need to put in a 3 tier Pooh themed nappy cake (they love Disney), and I've already picked up a few bits for it:
Pooh 2 piece set (velour top and trousers) from Adsa sale £3.50
Pooh brush & comb set from B&M 89p
Pooh teether from B&M 89p

I'm not as bothered about cost as it's for close friends, although I won't be going mad!

If I'm successful with this cake, and the Christmas gifts from the kids for family (pint of socks, ladies sock cupcake etc) then I think I might give it a whirl and start selling them I live in Lincoln and I don't want to tread on anyones toes...but I won't be going full on for quite a while yet, just starting locally and selling word of mouth (assuming I'm any good of course!)

I've learnt so much from this thread (A big thank you to you all for that) and can't wait to get some nappies and start baking my first cake. I've joined a few groups started by some of you on facebook, and I have to say there are some fab cakes out there, you're a very talented bunch

I think this thread will be one of my new homes from now on :j
