New Nappy Cake

cat04

Thanks Hollie, will def make a visit to Asda tomorrow then. She has requested either Johnson's or Burt's Bees (which I've never used and was a bit :eek: at the price of a bottle of bubble bath lol). I've seen a starter kit, which Boots do for £12 odd, but I've found it on a website called Cherry Cloud for £11.49 so could use a few bits out of it and save the rest for another cake.

Ok, so as I was writing this I got another message and it needs to be £15 including p&p and her friend's baby is overdue by a day so as she wants it for a new baby present I won't have time to order stuff online. Think I might stick to Johnsonsl! She mentioned Burt's Bees as her friend is 'quite classy' lol.

I think you will be hard pressed to do one for £15 including shipping, it costs me £7 to ship alone and thats if i use a box I already have

Thanks for the warning Vikki. I have a few boxes at home which I know would be suitable, I'll just have to make sure I don't put anything in that's too heavy and as it's a friend and my first bath cake I'll be happy to break even. I'm hoping if I get some bargains at Asda and B&M I should just be able to do it (fingers tightly crossed!). My friend did say 'approx £15' so if I have to add another pound on I'm sure she won't mind.

Can someone help me? I have made now 6 nappy cakes for friends and family but have been approached to make some for a stall in the local mall. Do I have to declare this to someone if I am only make about £20 a week (if that) and if so, who to? I dont want to be caught out by not doing it right.

Been looking at peoples pics and they look lovely.

Giggle, I went on your blog and saw your nappy cakes and love them. How do you do them and what is in them? They look taller than one layer of nappys? Can see there is a bib, booties, hat, am guessing socks in the boots? Anyhow congrats on your blog I am now an avid fan! Also, (sorry about the massive brain picking) where did you get your black muffin thingamyjigs (brain freeze!), I can't find them anywhere and I made a cow themed cake the other day which they would be fab on. Thank you!

Cat04 i sometimes use the blankets from B&M think there £2.49 and there the micro fibre ones so very soft,i know there white shawls are £1.99 so u could get a cheap blanket from there.i do mini nappy cakes at £16 i make about £6 on those so u should be able to do it,i buy my stuff in bulk though wheras i dont know if u do u may need to outlay first so wont feel like u are making a profit.
