Hi Giggle

Your cupcakes look lovely! Do you have any trouble with them moving in the boxes?

I have just done a cake with a cupcake on top (inbetween legs of toy) and am having trouble keeping it there. Double sided tape won't stick to those cases and I do like everything to be secure.
I don't use pins or tape on anything and usually manage to tie things on. Any ideas how to secure it?

I have sent a lot over the last few days by post and no one as said they moved around so as far as i know there ok

Hi I'm a newbie here. I have just started making nappy cakes and love it. Its great that everyone seems to support each other. I need as much advice as anyone can give. Im just setting up my website and would love to know where the best place is for packaging boxes for delivery and which companies you use.

I just bought a pack of bright coloured silicone cases from Wilkinsons £2!:o

Hi Katie, welcome to the thread, would love to see some of your cakes I used to use a mixture of royal mail and a shipping company but now find even 1 tier cakes are cheaper to ship using hermies (autocorrect is trying to insist I use herpies!)

Hi I'm trying to make my first nappy cake for my friend's sister who's due soon. I wondered if you could help direct me where to buy the basics? I'm fine with buying the blankets/muslins/soft toy and I have tons of brand new nappies my son has grown out of. It's things like cakeboard, ribbon, cellophane, elastic bands, the decorative petal things I don't have a clue where to buy them from! I want to get them as cheap as possible becvause I don't think my friend will be interested if the price is too high. Please help!

Cakeboard = Asda
Ribbon = Hobbycraft
Cellophane = Hobbycraft
Flowers again Hobbycraft or Dunelm somewhere like that
I dont use rubber bands on my cakes

Cake board= asda like giggle
Ribbon=crafty ribbons website, look out for discount codes
Cellophane- flowerhour or eBay, if your just doing one cake you could ask a florist
Rubber bands- I sometimes use royal mail rubber bands while making it but remove all rubber bands before finishing the cake

Hi! I just noticed this thread. Have been making nappy cakes since I recieved one for my DD birth 7 months ago! Excellent ideas.

Thought I would let you all know, just yesterday I went into my local SAVERS and found they sold the new Bandana bibs that are all the rage for just £1! Good quality with washing tag instructions but no brand (which is what I try and find) In white, pink and blue. I got as many as I could. Not sure if they have them online for sale?
