Hi guys,

Here's my latest 3 tier for a boy. Was for an order at work, took it in yesterday and showed the lady it was for and she said it was lovely but it was meant to be for a girl! Whoops! Been so busy doing boys I don't know what got into my head! Luckily she doesn't need it until thursday so will now do a pink!

This is one I'm doing for my friend who's due any day. Not finished yet, you can't really see the colour properly but the blankets are lemon and the muslin is white! I want to get another brightly coloured toy for the top instead of the neutral elephant. I'd also like to add some spotty yellow ribbon to finish it off.

Meh, anyone every done a cake and just not 'felt' it looks right?

Started my first blue one today and for some reason I just dont think its working....

Am going to finish it though with ribbon etc and see what I think then

Although Im convinced this one looks smaller than my last even though Ive used the same things!!!

Fairly Often Kr15snw! I find it sometimes helps to take photos and look at the photos, the camera tends to show problem areas more clearly. Is it the proportions you're not happy with? That's my usual, especially with toys! Often find toys difficult if they're too big or too small they make the entire cake look wrong.

Wilkinson's had Huggies size 2 on 1/2 price (£3 instead of £5.98 I think) shelf was empty though :mad: . Sill not got round to doing my cake but am collecting all the 'Ingredients' and have a day off next week so may get crafty

becs, Im happy with the proportions but am convinced the cake is smaller than my last one. And seeing as this one is going into work as well Im paranoid theyll think Ive short changed them!!

Also the toy I got for it is really really sucky Think I may end getting the little teddies at Asda tomorrow with a blue t shirt, although Id rather have a completely blue toy

becs

Do they have any of the elephants at your Asda? The same as the blue one on mine? I think They're very cute. I'm sure the teddy with blue t-shirt would look lovely as well.

ive been super busy this week after the unofficial launch on monday of the nappy cake empire!! lol....sold 9 and have orders in the pipline for babies due along the next couple of months.....so all in all i am so chuffed!!! im wondering now will i be able to keep up with it all if it keeps on going like this!!!! lol!

if you guys are anything like me, i take so long over the cakes, i tend to be a bit ocd with them and want them to be absolutely perfect!!! and from looking at all the cakes that you guys do they are all so perfect!!! ill try and put some pics up today...i have to make 3 today, 2 different boys ones to bring into work as the girl whos buying wants a choice between two....and one for dh to bring into his work for a colleague...

and have to finish making my leaflets..i have lovely broucher book type things but only 3 of those....and people want leaflets with pics in that they can take away and show other people....so may try and finish that....busy busy...so up early to start on this task!!! ohhh also gotta buy more supplies, ribbon, cello, bows, got all the main bits and bobs and enough to keep me going but im a terrible stockpiler...lol...

anywho im rambling here....and leaving this more to motivate myself to actually do it...i LOVE love love making the cakes and finishing them off...but the other stuff like leaflets, ordering things, is like pulling teeth sometimes...lol.....

so if when i come back later and havent finished..you have my permission to hit me over the head with a rolled up nappy or two..lol
