Rjh sorry to hear about your sales but your cakes are lovely. Do you work? Have you tried taking one in? I've found work to be the best starting block and also word of mouth. Once you get one out there it should snowball

Shadsy your cakes are really good and very different and like you say its nice to do something different from the norm. I think its good to each have our own style because thats what keeps them unique.

Irlip I must have missed your cakes, they look beautiful, where did you get your duck from? and also your blankets? they work so well and look lovely! Well done you

Shadsy your cakes are lovely ... I agree with Shelley everyones cakes are so different, even when we all use the same clothes/blankets etc yet the finished results are so much different!!

RHJ I am sure sales will start soon ... things are very slow this time of year as people are so skint, this credit crunch certainly doesn't help!

The pink blanket was Matalan and the yellow Dunelm Mills. The duck and dog are TY's.

Irlip, was it you that mentioned the flower wholesaler in aberdeen? can you let me know where it is please. i noticed someone mention it on this thread somewhere and thought it was maybe you, apologies if i'm wrong
i want to make some hampers this year after seeing everyones amazing efforts on this site and would like to buy cello locally instead of on the net if poss.

All of the nappy cakes are gorgeous i would be very pleased if i received something like that :T

Hi Shelley,
I'm having the same problem, they only have a few pink and blue's left but no cream ones.
While I was there, a lady picked up a pink blanket and then threw in some baby toiletries, there's me having a look in her basket thinking 'hmm, wonder if those are for nappy cakes?'
How sad I am getting!

Where does everyone get their toys from? I managed to get a few from Ikea but our nearest one is a couple of hours away! I can find everything else cheap enough but not toys. I have avoided putting teddies on top of mine so far as I just can't justify spending £4 or £5 on one!

Thanks
