New Nappy Cake

Hollie do you make your own bows? If so can you point me in the direction of a decent tutorial please? I tried several times the other night and ended up with a creation which looked like the ribbon fairy had thrown up!

Hi all,

Not really posted much recently but i read this thread once or twice a day:eek:

Just thought i would post a couple of pics. The first one is a Tatty Teddy theamed cake for my friend so i made it extra special! They both like football hence the blanket! I used 'my 1st tatty teddy' which comes in a box which i made in to a tier with bits in it.

The cake was made about 3 months ago, and the baby is being christened on sunday, i really strugled to come up with a gift that was different to a normal cake & made of useful things she would need. I have ended up creating my 1st ever unique nappy gift (at least i havent sean them before) its a nappy parcel/present. I used 4 packs of wipes on the bottom then 12 nappys in 2 stacks on top but it could be done with all nappys, or even 8 packs of wipes making it nappy free! I hope you like it.

Thanks,
Its a long sleev t-shirt but a muslin would be easier as more flat, but i know they already have loads of muslins.

Where is the best (and cheapest!) place to buy nappy pins?
