Here is one i did last night, i can't decide if the middle tier needs some ribbon on but a slightly different colour as the ribbon i have is almost the same colour as the bodysuit. I was very pleased when my ds saw it this morning he said wow mummy that looks like a cake. He is only 3.

It looks lovely - really wish I could get those bobbly blankets! and the bunny looks cute in its hoody! I would probably put a ribbon on the middle tier I think
:T

Can I have some help with pricing nappy cakes? How much profit do you aim to make per cake?

At the moment I just put in a vest and a bottle of baby shampoo, I would like to put a bit more inside but I don't want to make them for nothing.

Cookiedough I always work on the basis that I make at least £5 profit on each cake otherwise its not worth doing. However I have put up my prices so make a bit more now but I also add a bit more in aswell.

No 2 cakes cost the same as it depends whats on offer at the time. I did really well as we had a big W near and when they were closing the baby clothes were so cheap. You just have to shop around for the best deals really. have you any factory shops near you that you could go to? Also last week i got a big pack of nappies for £1.50 as sainsburys had 1/3 off and i also had some vouchers.

I have found this website that sells some baby items wholesale. What do you think of the blankets they work out at 78p each and thought they may be good for the middle tier (poss too small for bottom tier)

Did you try primark Julie? if you have one near you?

Kitiaracat your cake looks lovely, you could maybe use some pink ribbon on the middle tier?

I've just had an order for a 3 tier in Lemon to be collected tomorrow :eek: She has ordered from me a couple of times before
