New Nappy Cake

moonpenny

jill_b29, I try to get toys from birth where possible but the most I have gone up to is 12 months.

I started off at limiting myself to £3 per toy but now, it has crept up to the £6 mark sometimes.

I keep a look out for toys I like and then try and buy when there are sales or offers on. It means you have to pay out for stock when they are not needed at the time but it's worth it to get them cheaper.

Look in all the supermarkets (Asda used to do some lovely ones but not had much lately) Also, on the "baby" section there. Got some nice ones from Morrisons a while back.

I have previously got toys from M&S when they do the 3 for 2's and 20% off days and BHS have some nice ones in at mo in baby section at £5 (Again wait for reduction days)

The other place to look is the card shops.
After special days like Mothers day etc, they usually reduce these as they can't sell them with "Best Mum" etc on a scarfe or banner.
I have a good look if it can be removed without spoiling the toy and then add a ribbon bow instead.

Hope this has helped!

about ten mins from york - took some nappy cakes to a florist (not intrested ) but did pass me on to a baby shop going back thurs to see her !! also tried another baby type shop who were interested but they are going to do their own and didnt seem to want me to sell them myself just through their shop and wanted them at a cheaper price , fair play its buisness i supose ,but you have to stick to your guns sometimes, anyway popped into work and someone bought one as soon as they saw one , wish me luck for thurs ,what do other people do sale or return or just sell to shop and let them put what they want on ?

Got 10 teddies today. They were marked at £5 each but just asked if they would take £3 each if I bought 10 and they said yes. Worth trying for you other ladies.

evening ladies. some really lovely cakes on here again. Wondered if anyone can give me a little advice. I know some of you present a single sock "cupcake" in a little case on top of your nappy cakes. What i wanted to ask is has anyone found a way of securing the silicone cupcake cases to the top of a nappy cake. I already use them in a cake box and know that it is hard to get anything to really stick to it (apart from glue) I am really worried that it will just roll about otherwise. Any advice greatly appreciated. TIA x

Just posting this again in case anyone has the solution. I am looking for a way of keeping a silicone cupcake case on the top of a nappy cake (1 tier) I know I have seen them like this on quite a few other cakes. Thanks in advance

Have you tried glue dots? As long as you place the cases on blankets, bottle lids or vests etc, and not the actual nappies, then they shouldn't get damaged when they're removed.
