Another fantastic nappyy cake!! Thanks for the tips, am not so confused now! But the middle and top layer 'ingredients' have nothing to lean on? It will all start falling through? Argh im making this really complicated for myself arnt i!!!

Hi, I haven't actually made a tiered nappy cake yet, but dying to make one. I would really like to make them to sell, I love lots of crafts and need to start a small business to make some extra money. I think you are thinking of English tiered wedding cakes with pillars and spaces between the cakes. These nappy cakes are based on American wedding cakes, where the cakes just sit on top of each other with no spaces in between.
If you look at some of the larger pictures, you will see what I mean.
Hope that helps

Hello where is everyone you all busy making cakes. I have just done some christmas ones up and taken them to the shop i cant belive they want them already

Hi Giggle, Me too - I have been attempting some Christmas ones with stuff I bought last January but, still need some bits and pieces that I can't find yet!

I know it's early but I use 0-3 mth clothes so you have to factor that in or the clothes go past Christmas.

Been very quiet on here this week, especially after last weeks buzz!

Are you getting many orders through the shop?

Can I ask where you are getting your Christmas items for cakes? I have been asked to make a cake for a December baby but can't find anything yet in the shops or online

hI Irlrip, I'm afraid I was in front of myself and bought a load of stuff in the January sales - sleepsuits, bibs, socks etc. I bought some gorgeous soft toys too from Mothercare but I think they are really too big. Still need some bootees or something which I can't find yet.

I think you will be alright if she doesn't want the cake untill December - or does she want it now? Last yr I'm sure they had all the xmas stuff out along with Bonfire night stuff!

I have done a few more sock cupcakes, but had to stop cos I was doing xmas crafts and so many other things at the same time!!I cleared and tided my craft room and made a start on a 100th birthday book and box... finished the box today hopefully tomorrow I will finish the book and get back to more crafts!!

I am trying not to buy any more stock (got loads) but I know when the sales come around again, I won't be able to resist. Especially, with Christmas stuff when you have to buy so far in advance!
Will keep an eye out for you in the shops!

hi, i wondered if anyone could advice me on prices please. i did a basket a little while ago i would like to get out of the way (no one has seen it so obvously its not been sold!). the contence cost about £5 and i had the basket already.. the shop im going to ask if they will display it, take 20% of the sale, and most of the customers are old ladies so most won't have a big budget.

What kind of price do you think i should be asking for?

thanks
