Hi Vinakanailavo, Well done you!!! Your cake is lovely. I’m sure your friend will love it.

Candyb – Florist ribbon around the tiers, then fabric ribbons. The white satin, I got cheap on the market for 50p and the pink is gingham. I just love gingham and spotty ribbons. Come to think of it, I might start using florist ribbon instead of fabric for the “second” colour if I just want plain. Thanks Candyb – wouldn’t have thought of that if you hadn’t asked. I find it’s the ribbons and wrapping etc that bump up the price.

Kizzyw, I just love your christening basket. Your “mini”cake looks really sweet. Have you put flowers on top? Can I ask you where you got your doggy blanket from?
Looks very cute!!!

Hi Moonpenny, the florist ribbon is a good idea, although I tried this once before and found it didn't look as good as having a satin ribbon around if that makes sense?
You can buy the rolls of ribbon normally in 20-25 metre rolls for £3-£4 which works out a lot cheaper than buying it by the metre.

Kizzy the christening hamper looks fab! Well done, love the mini cake. I sell quite a few of these myself locally. here are a couple of mine.

hey everyone! thank you so much for the lovely comments!!!
well i took the cake up to get wrapped at the florists!!!
and oh my goodness i cant believe it, but they want me to make 2 of each (pink, blue, neutral) and they will sell them for me..!!!!!

now im in a panic!!! about costs, and what to put in them and so many questions spinning around my head!!! the cake i made for my friend (first one!) cost a lot, but i wasnt really thinking about cost as shes one of my best friends!! and now when i think back to how much i spent i couldnt do that on the cakes for the florists.....any ideas anyone?!! i know this is the best place for advice!! why you ask? because you are all fabulous! hehe!!

many thanks!! im off to try and scour the internet now..or maybe just procastinate for a while longer..lol
vinaka!

Well done you that is amazing!!! :T

Did they say how much they want to but one for? That might give you somewhere to start?

Just a quick thought. Do you think that we could set up a new thread for Nappy Cakes photos only? Like the hamper one on here? It might give us all a few ideas and we would all know where to look for inspiration. Just a thought??
