New Nappy Cake

cat04

Rusty and Nat, thank you so much for your super fast replies! I was thinking along the lines of £5 profit per cake too. I totally understand about the pricing and not changing it because of sales etc. In the one I made the socks went through the till at half price and the pack of WTP dummy holders and the rattle were on BOGOF at 99p so I saved there. It included 33 size 3 nappies, hooded fleece, muslin, feeding cloth, 2 pairs socks, 2 pairs scratch mitts, bootees, johnson's shampoo and bar soap, teether, 2 dummy holders, rattle, brush & comb set, teddy and 2x mini wines plus the board, cello, ribbons and bow. If I took the wine out it would have cost £21.95 to make. I had to buy some of the bits in a rush so I know I spent more than I would if I was making that one to sell.

Nat, I made it surprisingly quickly! I swirled the nappies which I found really quick and easy. It was putting the ribbons on and wrapping it that took a while to do, mainly cos it's a bit fiddly, but once I get used to do them I know I'll get quicker. Also, as it was my 1st one I went round a few shops to get different bits and pieces, so shopping wise I spent quite a long time on it. I'll have a look online before sending any prices to my friends.

Thank you both for your advice

Haven't had many orders for ages so I was rather shocked to receive 4 so far this week. Now I've gotta try and find decent blankets at a reasonable price ASAP! Has anyone seen any bargains recently?

Here's my most recent efforts

Hi for anyone interested Asda's baby event is on again

cat04

I'm so excited! The friend who asked me if I could post cakes has just ordered a bath time cake :j. I had to come on here straight away to share this as I'm MEGA excited! I only put the photos on facebook on Sunday and I've got my first order :T

So.....more advice needed pretty please The main specifics are the best quality hooded towel I can get and either Johnson's or Burts Bee's products. I remember reading that Poundland do Johnson's shampoo etc, and if Adsa have got their baby event on I might be able to get somethings from there. Any advice on where to get Johnson's and/or Burt's Bees for a decent price?

I was going to go to my local Asda Living and B&M tomorrow whilst DD2 is at playgroup to get some bits to start making up samples so I can take some photos to put on facebook- it must be fate lol
