New Nappy Cake

Nicky321

Sorry for the delay in replying to your questions ladies, ive been busy with my new grandaughter ,

The boxes i used I managed to get from My other halfs works (sorry), but there are some websites online maybe someone else could recommend one?

I use MS publisher 2007

I have also only used normal quality A4 paper for my leaflets (luckily I havent had too much of a problem with the black ink showing through too much. Although I am looking at maybe a thin card for future leaflets.

Love
Nicky

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!

Its very cute, i am tempted to have a go..... looks fairly simple although I could be wrong, looks like head and body are made from the nappies using the swirling method, washcloths for ears, socks for bone, nappies for legs. all held together either with ribbon or tucking the ends in.

I see there are lots of questions on how to build cakes again. I have just made one massive luxury cake for a lovely lady off here (Melissa75) A whole bunch of us clubbed in as she is due a baby boy (last week but the little fella still hasn't joined us in the world!) Now she has recieved the cake I can post up some pics, I did take some pics during the building of it ....









And finished cake ...




Some beautiful cakes appearing on here! Well done to you all.

I have had 2 orders last week .... this having cakes in shops lark is really good!

Rough put together, took about 3 mins. Obviously needs to be done neater, and addition of eyes, nose, ribbons, dummy etc.

Excuse the background.

thanks for posting that nicky, i will have a go this afternoon What are the front legs, are they wrapped in something?

On the subject of washcloths, where does everyone get theirs from? I really need some burp cloths and wash cloths but except for the expensive ones on ebay they are proving allusive. I tried my poundland but they didnt have any

The front legs are made from 1 nappy each. I left them folded as they where when they came out of the pack of nappies and just folded them in the middle. Like I say its a rough draft, with more time and patience it would look a lot better.

Wash cloths and burp cloths I buy from poundland or B & M Bargains.

I really wanted to do the 'diaper baby', but failed miserably :mad: I just couldn't get the head to fit securely enough.
