Wow Liz, your cakes are fantastic. They look huge. Are they actually four tiers. How big are they and how many nappies do you put in them?

Hi, when I first joined I was told it was a mixture of being new and how many posts you have, I was told 20 - 25 posts will do it
So just have a look around and make a few posts on some threads that take your fancy

Yes.. Huge 4 tier bad boys! LoL! There my best seller!

These cost me around £20.40 to make, so a healthy profit as sold for £40 each.

I use 62 nappies for a 4 tier using the rolling technique. I could use less with the wrap around technique but it doesn't feel solid to me.

They are stunning. I was thinking about making some 4 tier ones but I literally don't have anywhere to keep them in my house. I am running out of room with the 3 and 1 tiers that I have made up. They are currently providing some lovely decoration in the kids bedrooms, LOL. Maybe I should get these ones sold first before I make any bigger ones! Can I ask where you got the Peter Rabbit vests from? I have seen the soft toys online, but not vests?

Sweetpea.. Asda were selling them off a couple of weeks ago! £3 for a sleepsuit and £3 for a pj set! They were so lovely I bought 10 sets of blue and pink! I'd picked up some Peter rabbit toys awhile ago on sale, can't remember where! And it makes such a perfect set!

Not sure what to put in the pink cakes yet tho! Could do with some jemima puddleducks on offer now!!!

4tiers are my biggest seller! I think it's the 'wow' factor coz there so big!

I try and stick to a £20 budget for 4 tier cakes, and charge £40. There's a woman local to me who does nappy cakes and charges £75!!! The joke is that she uses mostly pound shop items!!!!!!!!!
