can i ask how do you wrap the towel or blnket round like that?

Jpwittle, you just fold it to the height of the nappies then wrap round and it is secured in place with the ribbon.

It's really nice :T Did you make the flowers, they are beautiful.

I bought the flowers (canna lilies)which if i remember correctly were actually made of foam,just trimmed the wires and slotted them into the cake.
Hoping to do a 2 tier one so need to get shopping for some bits and bobs to hide inside.

Hi Kizzy
I noticed your nappies are blue and white, may I ask what make they are and also if they do pink? I have just bought pampers and am attempting my first nappy cake (I have started rolling the nappies :rolleyes: ) but I think yours with the blue blanket look great :T
I'm afraid I am not very creative and am just pinching other peoples ideas

Thanks for that Rusty. They would look pretty in pink wouldn't they?

I have two cakes to do for two friends who are having their first grandchildren so I did buy a big pack of Pampers, bought size 3 after reading your comments so have enough (I think) but thought I'd ask for future reference. It's been a long time since I bought nappies, my youngest is 18 :eek:
Must get stuck in and finish them now, I have a pink and a blue one to make and the blue one is due any day.

Should be plenty there, but depends on how many tiers you plan to make etc. If you need any help let me know and I will try to help out as much as I can.

Congrats to your friends.

So many different nappies and so many different prices aswell I thought they were probably tesco ones as the purple on activefit isn't as deep lol ...

Replied to your PM Kizzy x

I can't believe what I have just come across, a cake made of toilet rolls !!!!!!

http://www.countrygardencreations.com/toweldiapercakes.htm


Cake contains: 16 rolls of toilet paper, toilet brush, air freshener spray, toilet deodorizer, 2 bowl cleaner tablets, and scented toilet paper roller. Toilet Paper Cakes are also embellished with ribbon and artificial flowers.

How funny is that ????
