    redbull08, Not very good pic but the back of my cakes. Blue is a Towel and Pink is a Blanket (I do them different) I tend to make quite plain cakes with the stuff inside.

    The boards are just the silver cake boards you can buy in the supermarket but I get the thinner ones online as they are cheaper.

    Marris, I tend to fold all my Blankets and Towels corner to corner instead of straight across

    oh now i know..:j

    They are lovely and so stacked full of goodies your niece will love it.

    marris, Beatiful cake too. I love the cream colourway - looks very pretty.

    1 large piece, put cake in middle scrunch up
    2 cut a piece a little wider than the diameter. Wrap it around the cake and seal along the seem with cello tape. Fold some cello u dee the cake board and stick down with lots of tape and then gather the top together. Quite a few of us do it this way
