Nappy Cakes

Kim_Possible

Thanks Yummy Mummy Cat. I assume after uve assembled the middle tier u remove a handful of nappies from the centre and and press down on the bottom tier thus the bath products spans both tiers and holds them together?

Apologies- Im sure u get lots newbies comming on here asking "silly newbie" questions!

i cheated a bit really, i put a rubber band around the top of the bottles and then put the nappies inside the band to build up the layer.
you can build the second tier up take 4 out of the center and stick it on the top that way. then the 4 u take out of the second tier you wrap together again for the top tier.

if you understand that then your sorted
i only started this last week so someone else can prob explain it to you better than me

Hi Kim_possible,
I usually just sit each layer on top of the other as I now don't have any tall items in mine. They all stay together fine, and when they're wrapped in cellophane they can't really go anywhere. Mine have been sent in the post like this and always arrive absoloutely fine.

Kitiaracat, Thanks for the bigger picture - they look great!

Bellag, You say you don't use a photo tent and your pics always look fab! Can I ask you, what do you place your cakes on? - looks like a white sheet or something!, and do you use any form of lighting? So much to learn with this, not just cake making but photography, leaflet making etc!
Your new cupcakes are just gorgeous!

Hiya moonpenny,

I use a huge white table cloth for my backdrop I had made to measure for my craft stall. I drape it on the back of two chairs and let it hang down onto the floor. I place my cakes on the floor on the table cloth and take the pics. As for lighting I dont use any but I take all my shots in the conservatory. I sometimes photoshop them and brighten them if its been a cloudy day lol. The pics aren't perfect and my sheet is often creased but they will do for now!
