Mind you, just like the baby I tried, I'd never get the head to stay on securely.

That is adorable, i would love to do it! I can't find any instructions via google though and dont have a clue how to do it!

Nicky321,
About leaflets - What type of paper did you use for double sided printing? The papers I have tried have shown through the back.

Also, You said you used Publisher! My PC is quite old and I think my version of Publisher is too basic! Am I right in thinking there are better versions? Scuse me for being thick about such things! LOL!

Another question for everyone, if you don't mind!

I price all my cakes the same i.e. all 3 Tiers the same etc. However, I think I have come unstuck as I have a load of better qaulity clothes, blankets and toys that I was going to make into "luxury" cakes. The problem is, as the cakes will look similar the the "normal" ones, the customer will probably not recognise that they are more expensive contents.
I wondered if I would be better pricing individually.
What sort of pricing set up does everyone else have?
I think the problem is, I shouldn't have bought more expensive stuff, but made the cakes different to my usual ones - but I've got the stuff now!

I price all my cakes individually. Personally unless you buy things in bulk to be able to make loads of cakes the same I feel it is the only way to do it. I also never make two cakes the same.

Put the nappy cake in a close fitting box and pad with foam chips, or crumpled paper, tissue etc. i have posted cakes out and they seem to arrive in as good a condition they left here in.

Thank you, what sort of boxes and where would i get them from? sorry for the questions I am dying to make one.

Thanks! Irlrip!

I do have a lot of stuff and I make cakes the same. As I don't have a website or do fairs, I put all my pics of cakes on Photobucket and anyone can choose from them. So, it's much easier to have the same prices for all.

If I havn't got the same stuff for a particular cake then I take the pic off - so all the cakes on photobucket are available.
The main problem I have with this is the fact I put sleepsuits on the outside. (3 in a pack!) So, although it is the same cake (toy, blanket etc) it has a different look because of the pattern on sleepsuit. Also, I am always messing about with photos!

I suppose for the luxery ones, I could make them individual prices.
Sorry for going on!!!
