Nappy Cakes

Siemo

I've been reading your posts with interest and thought I'd have a go at making one of these nappy cakes. I haven't made it yet, but just wanted to say I went to Tescos today and bought up a load of the Johnsons products (100 extra points for 2 items as stated in the weekly email). What with that and some of the vouchers I had for my own baby for nappies etc, I've actually ended up getting everything I need for the "cake" and got more back in points (if I use the Tesco deals) than I spent! How great is that?!?! I just hope I can make it look as good as the picture above!

I made one for my sister when her son was born and she loved it , I spent a while gathering bits for it and used things like teethers, a baby hairbrush , nail clippers etc to decorate it with ,a baby bottle through the middle to keep it secure and filled the bottle with chocloates for mum. I have a picture but it ended up with another tier and looked fab wrapped in cellophane

I am going to be making another one in january for a very good freind who's baby i am expecting and plan to make this one extra special with a bottle of champagne in place of the baby bottle , .. after all they have been waiting 10 years for this.

Oh wow, that's beautiful! Here is my rather feeble attempt that I made this afternoon. I just hope they know it's supposed to be a cake otherwise it's a bit of a weird present!

I would like to make a friend one of these but she is using cloth nappies as I did and I wonder how they would roll?
Suppose the flat nappies would work fine but think she is having shaped ones
hmmm?

After seeing all the lovely hampers and the great idea for a nappy cake, I decided to have a go. My daughters Guiders are both leaving to have babies, so I made a blue one first. It was a bit of a fiddle at first
I got the bottom circle cardboard free by asking at the fresh pizza counter at Asda. I explained what I was making and the assistant gave me 4 pizza bases for free!! How nice was that???

In the middle of the botton layer is a pack of wipes which stick out and I built the top tier around it too. Also put Johnsons baby soup (2) in the middle of the top tier. The ducks on the top were only £1.47 from Asda.

What do you think of my first attempt? For wrapping I have cellophane with little blue handprints on it and ribbon to make a big bow.

The pic comes up really tiny for me but from what I can see its very cute! The blue ribbon is a lovely colour. Really stands out.

These all look gorgeous, and have given me an idea of what to give my sister when baby arrives in March.

I'm sure she'd love one.
