    stacylou,

    Your cakes look fab! :T

    I like the way you have fully listed all of the items included in each cake.

    Got a couple of minor suggestions that may be of help:

    - Include an option to allow users to look at bigger photos of the cakes - show them off they look great! I think this would promote sales.

    - It would be helpful if the photographs changed depending on what the user selects (boy, girl or unisex) so that they can see exactly what they would be paying for.

    - I think some ppl would have difficulty reading the links at the bottom of the homepage as the grey colour is very similar to the background colour.

    - I think the telephone number at the top should be "broken up" its difficult to read as all the numbers are very close together.



    Best wishes,

    Lipgloss

    Hello everyone - its been an age since I've been on!! Have had health problems which has mean't I've taken a break from baking for a while!! Hoping to get back into it now and have had a couple of orders recently - one I have been requested to do a neutral and blue cake possibly with a monkey theme - having a nightmare finding things with monkeys on - anyone seen any bits on their travels please?

    Anyone seen any "Winnie the Poohs" on their travels? Must be suitable from birth and not too expensive. I know my local Asda did have them but as like the Ellies they no longer seem to have them :(

    Was going to show you my nappy cake, made following all your suggestions on this thread, but somehow I can t post... Can someone help me do this! I loved doing it and my friends MIL said she thought I d be able to sell them
  • Hey every one, my nappy cakes are coming along - its having the funds at the moment to get the stuff to put them together so i can actually start displaying them!! Unfortunately as i have jsut one them for friends of mine and familys frends i never thought to take pics of them until now! Stupid i know!! I have done some sock cupcakes which im very proud of!! Going to try and upload a pic for you to see - My only question is - I see ppl are able to post these but how? surely they come out of tere cases and roill around and are basically ruined by the time they arrive? any suggestions would be great!! Also any tips on the sock and clothes bouquet - i have a friend who wants one as shes seen one on the web but tips on how to roll the vests ect into flowers would be great - i can do the socks!!

    Hoepfully some tips will follow from you all!

    Hiya hun - Wilkinsons have some for £3.47 - saw them today! My local asda still had some the other day too so guess some do and some don't!!

    Had to give up on monkey bits - will just have to decorate the cake with monkey images to give it the theme rather than the actual items!

    No Wilkinsons here:( The customer bought one from the Disney store, so ok:D

    I have had a monkey cakes made for a while with no one interested, beautiful clothes set from the US as well, monkey ribbon and soft toy. Pity you could not have got some bits here.
