Well I have my first order. My MIL gave one of my small cakes to a childminder she knows who has just had a baby. Only problem is she wants me to use all natural products! I know I can get the nappies from Boots but does anyone know where I can get reasonably priced organic baby clothes? Just had a quick look on the net and sleepsuits are about £15 each!

Just make sure they know the estimated cost before you purchase and make up the cake. I would hate for you to go the the extra expense and then they turn round and say "they didnt expect it to cost that much"
it has been done by potential buyers before

About £8 for 2, thats not too bad. Just charge them more! :P

Thanks for this - I love the Pumpkin Patch clothes - never noticed it was organic!!!

We have a "Quality Save" shop local and they sell them very reasonable. I remember it being about £1.99 or £2.99 for a body suit.

Lovely cakes bargainbabe, love the brown one but then I think everyone else has already said that :rotfl:

Good luck with your fair Julie and Bella.

Good and bad news on the ribbon order saga! I decided to return the 4 wrong colours to Carnmeal at a cost of £2 for an exchange where they are going to charge me another £2 for delivery. It was their colours that weren't true- since when did Latte become Peach?
The wrong order I got from Cloverdale< I have been told to keep as it was their fault and they are sending my original order asap. I now have an extra £20 of ribbons and luckily they are all pastel organza which I can use.

Moonpenny you should refuse to pay the extra £2 for postage it is their problem not yours. Is there a picture on their website? If so then you can tell them the picture shows brown or latte colour not peach etc.

Well done on the cloverdale order though

Rusty , It is more the shades than the actual colour and I have told them that I know all computers vary with colour matches but if you see Latte you expect a coffee colour (they had pics for all) Same with the Pink Gingham. They had a really pale pink and the one I ordered which I matched to one I had called rose. When it came it was Shocking pink. Nothing like the colour in the pic.

Moonpenny - great result on the £20 of free ribbon:D


Not long back from Asda they have cream Giraffes holding pink flowers in the Mother's Day section think £3.79 would be suitable for cake toppers.
