    Well i've finally plucked up the courage to book a pitch in our local festival day for my nappy cakes. I have made up some nappy cup cakes (which i've never made before) to go with my 3 tier ones and will make some 2 tier ones later in the week. I thought the cup cakes are suitable for those on a tighter budget !!
    Here are some pics of my new cupcakes:

    The second picture is a snail - it doesn't look like it due to my very poor photography. I sill haven't sussed out how to use the photo tent properly !!!!:rotfl:

    Crystal that looks absolutely stunning! Well done! How easy did you find folding the primark blankets? I thought they folded so much better than the normal fleecy types! I can't believe how beautiful it looks! Well done :)

    Thanks Rusty, it folded nicely but I haven't tried any other blankets.
    As you can see I took your advice with the bigger sizes! May have gone a bit overboard but to be honest I couldn't get the next sizes down in Asda the day I went - at least this way they can leave it for a while

    I'm finding that with Asda at the moment they have never got the size I want its so frustrating !!!
