    I think it is a lovely cake, well done :T
    The only thing I would ad is a nice soft toy that is baby safe as this is somthing from the cake that can be kept forever.But not everyone is into soft toys?
    Looking forward to new ventures :beer:

    Hi, I have been making nappy cakes and hampers for friends and family for a while now and through that i have had a few orders. I have now recently been offered a stall at a local farmers market. I have only been buying from shops but would need to have a wholesaler if i had a stall. I have been searching on-line but noting much comes up and ones i have found seem to have £500 min orders can anyone suggest any where?
    This is my signature!

    hi all, I am making a nappy cake for a teacher for school. This is the first time I have atempted to make one. Could you please tell me what basic ingredients I will need. I know I will need nappies but how many? also a towel to cover the bottom tier. I have been reading this thread and all of your cakes are beautiful xx

    How big would you like the cake to be one of my mini cakes only as 8 nappies in the more you add the bigger the cake :)

    I would add some socks and its really up to you what other things you would like in it (i know not much help am i)

    I would also say have a soft toy for the top of the cake but make sure its one thats safe from birth.
