Nappy Cakes

goldie090

Hi All

Having read through all your posts and seeing your lovely cakes made, I took the plunge and made my friends two daughters, a nappy cake each. One had a boy and the other is expecting a girl. They were both thrilled with their cakes, and had never seen anything like it before.

Below are just a couple of photos taken with a mobile, so not really good quality.

I just wanted to post to say thank you to you all for giving me the inspiration to make the cakes in the first place.

Oh my god !!!!!!!! :eek:
My 72 year old auntie has just visited, and the thought of her having her own 2 year old is just un-imaginable.
That is unreal ...... I'll have to watch the news in a mo.

goldie090, lovely cakes, well done :T :T :T
I can't believe they are your 1st one's.

It's been very quiet on here lately, are you all snowed under with orders at the mo, or like me, no orders lately :mad:

Natbag

Oh they are beautiful, well done! :T

I made a tag for mine too, and we must have both used MS Word as I have used that same piece of clip art too - great minds! LOL! :rotfl:

Finished mine tonight, and it does look better for swapping the hooded towel and blanket round. Bit annoyed that the ribbon I ordered is more aqua blue and not royal blue as it looked online, and I think I could do with some curling ribbon to finish it off, but anyway, here it is, bare and wrapped:

Meant to add, here's the list of what I used (probably seems a bit generous compared to those made to order, but it's for a gift for a family member so I don't mind!)

· 31 Huggies Newborn size 2 (7-13lb) nappies
· 3 pairs of baby socks (size 0- 2.5) (Home Bargains)
· 1 baby romper suit & hat (0-3 months) (Asda)
· 5 baby popper vests (3-6 months) (Asda)
· 2 muslin cloths (Asda)
· 1 hooded towel & wash cloth (Home Bargains)
· 1 fleece pram blanket (Home Bargains)
· 1 TY newborn soft toy (suitable from birth) (Home Bargains)
· 1 bottle of Johnson’s baby powder

· 1 bar of Johnson’s baby soap

Hi everyone! Nice to see some pictures on here again!

Goldie090 - Your cakes are absolutely gorgeous! Really Well done, especially as they are your first - and 4 tiers at that. Can I ask you where you got your teddy from on the pink one? Iv'e been looking for a "normal colour teddy and can't find any.

Natbag - your cake looks lovely. You were right to change the blanket around. I think the ribbon colour looks good. I had a similar problem with my pink one. The sleepsuit I used was a candy pink but the toy looked more of a peachy pink, but like yours, when it's all put together you don't notice.

My mums friend is having a baby and im sooooo tempted to make a one tier nappy cake and put a small teddy on top
have already bought her some bibs and a couple of designer hats (In a sale though)
And im thinking a nappy cake would bulk those out nicely?
You reckon I could make a cake with one pack of nappies??

will read the whole thread through by the weekend

HI PHUNKLES. for one tier i use 30 nappies or fo the we small cupcake ones, 14 nappies so u should not have a problem with one pack

Many thanks for your positive feedback on the cakes. Since making these I have 3 ordered for others now, 2 neutral and one blue.

Moonpenny - the teddy on the pink cake has It's a girl written on one of the feet, and I got it off ebay for about £3.
