    I had a go at putting a picture on but can only figuire out how to do the link.
    Its on the previous page.
    I put a bottle of baby shampoo in the middle then 36 on bottom tier, 18 in middle tier and 6 on the top tier with another bottle in the middle if that makes sense.
    Looking forward to new ventures :beer:

    How did you copy and paste it. Not very technical. Thanks for putting it on.
    Im so glad you like it, all the cakes on here look so proffesional it means alot. I will have to practice getting them a bit straighter and also using less nappies.
    I really enjoyed making it. :)
    Looking forward to new ventures :beer:

    So do you copy and post it just like you would normal text?
    Once I have given it to my friend I think I will pu it on my facebook page and see what happens.
    I really enjoy doing bits of crafting and have made christmas gifts and bits and bobs for family and friends befor. I would love to be able to make somthing well enough to sell it.
    My sister in law is expecting a girl in May so can have another go at one in pink.
    Looking forward to new ventures :beer:

    I would also love to know how to get them so neat, maybe its just practise.
    If you sell them do you need to have public liability insurance?

    Does any one use cellular blankets and feeding cloths in their cakes? If so how do they seem to look?
    Are the feeding cloths from matalan large enough to go around a middle layer of a 3 tier cake?
    Sorry for all the questions, just looking at getting some things to make one for my sister in law.
    Im thinking of using a moses basket size cellular blanket on the bottom, a feeding cloth on the middle tier and a muslin cloth for the top?
    Looking forward to new ventures :beer:
