Nappy Cakes

If all the items come to £25.00 then that's about right to ask for £30.00 to £40.00 for it they say when you make anything you should double it and then add a third on (I don't but some do) you should be making money on it for your time
That would make them very expensive :eek:
I normally just add a few quid onto the final price then if it sells it is a bonus. Will probably charge £30 for this one and just make £5 on it ... I just don't know. Haven't been shopping yet anyway going to wait til my auntie is up here and I can take her shopping on mon/tues.Raising kids is like being held hostage by midget terrorists0 -

UKS - I thought so. I don't get on much these days, or get much scrapping done, but I use the same name.
I really must start on the nappy cake I'm making for H's cousin and his wife - their baby boy is due in a month but is measuring big so could well be early.0 -
Love all the beautiful nappy cakes. Am thinking of making one for my step sister when she has my nephew in February.
Just a thought, has anyone added a pampered mummy layer with some nice smellies for mum? Might have a go at that when I do mine.

Think I'm going to give up on the nappy cakes I love doing them but they just don't sell
. I will post pictures tommorrow please give me you opinions. It seems such a shame I don't know how some of you get so many orders. Do you advertise alot? It seems so expensive but maybe thats where I'm going wrong. Wooligans member 2010 - 6 animal blankets. 2 angel wraps, 2 baby hat, 4 Aaron squares, 5 cardigans

Before they get up and running I suggest they check their prices.. WHEW I wouldn't pay that much:o:xmastree:Self Certified Christmas Addict:xmastree:0 -
Wow!!!! 4 tier @ over £65!!!! :eek:the site's not up and running yet but you can see some pictures of nappy cakes on www.gooseberrybushbabies.co.uk
If I was paying that much, I'd be expecting a hell of a lot more quality stuff inside.
I'd be very surprised for someone to be buying at that price, still .... good luck to you if you can make that much profit.A creative mess is better than tidy idleness0 -

Hi, this is my first post on here, but not my first visit! I've just recently made my first nappy cake for a family friends and she loved it ... got all embarrassed about it though lol! Anyhow, I've got the chance of doing a table at a local gym thats got an open evening on Thursday. Any ideas of what I need to be thinking of taking... how many cakes? Should I take some of my handmade birth congrats cards? Leaflets? How much should I charge? Really need help and would be truly grateful of any!0
