Well I am on a roll ... just done a special order (lady wanted toiletries inside the cake and said cost wasn't an issue. So I addded johnsons baby oil, johnsons talc, johnsons baby shampoo, johnsons baby bath and a bar of johnsons baby soap.

Yaaaayyyyy!!! Sold my first cake! Another "VERY PINK" one "below" My daughter-in-law took some photos of ones Iv'e made, to work and I SOLD ONE. Or rather - she did!!!

Lots of posts on here in just a couple of days and all these fantastic cakes!

Bellag - I love yours - don't know which one I would choose.

I'm having problems with the wrapping as well. It keeps building up static inside the cello so that the ribbons stick to the inside wall and not where I want them to.

Rusty - I agree what you said about the same cakes taking different amounts of nappies etc. I think Iv'e got it sussed and then I have to add more.

Thats stunning Moonpenny and congratulations on your first sale!!! Can I ask how much you sell them for?

How do you manage to get your sleepsuits so perfect!

how do people manage to tie such lovely ribbons? xx

Hi Rusty, Sleepsuits are just folded to hight I want (usually ,legs up ,then fold again) and sleeves are put round back. I pin them or put elastic band round untill I put ribbon around and then cut away the elastic band.

I_am_mad, I had to practice a lot at ribbons. Finally got to grips with tying them with 2 loops instead of normal way.

I do the same with my sleepsuits, but mine don't look as good as yours!! lol Ah well I guess practice makes perfect!

Thanks Shelley, don't work too hard! x

wow! have just found this thread and these nappy cakes are stunning! i had started to get bits together to do a newborn baby boy hamper but think i might make it into a nappy cake instead, although i have already bought the basket i as going to use (quite a large white wicker one with blue material inside from dunelm) do you think it would look ok if i put the cake inside the basket with a few other bits around it? or would that look too much? it is a joint present from me and 8 friends so the budget is £45 so can get a lot to go in it (hopefully!)

and can i also just ask where you all get your blankets from please?
