Hello ladies, first time posting on here (I think) but I am a long time admirer of your beautiful cakes. I've only made a couple of nappy cakes for gifts but am thinking about looking into making them to sell and advertising locally. I was thinking of making up a couple to photograph to give potential customers an idea of what they would be buying. Do you have any tips for me please? Thank you

Made this one in October for a Christening...

Yes well i think it does and gives it a bit more body if you see what i mean i roll the socks 1st then cut the kitchen roll in half fold over a little the roll around the socks and then tape it all

Thanks for that Julie, will give that a go this weekend.

The only tip I have is don't charge too little! ... as you keep saying to me, Personally I think your cakes are beautiful and wouldn't change anything .... buy your items cheap but charge full price, i.e blankets are £3 from most places, but occasionally they end up at £1.50 so still charge the £3 for them.
You don't have to use cake boards either if you just have nappies and clothes inside, I have cut out that expense although a cardboard disc always works well
