    Bellag. Thanks for the info on taking pics. I don't have photoshop but have got a big white tablecloth so might have a play around.

    Moonpenny, it is mainly about the lighting, if you can take a good picture on a clean background then you can lighten them up using free programmes. faststone is a good one for this as it is very easy to use and you can do plenty of things with it.

    Well I am really not a crafty person at all but I would love to have a go at making 2 nappy cakes, one for my niece and one for my best friend. I have a few quesyions (soory if they have been posted but I haven't managed to read all the pages of the thread):

    How many nappies do people use per 3 tiered cake? Lots of different numbers floating around.
    Do you need wooden dowls between the layers?
    Is it chaper to buy the cellophane from ebay or a local florist?
    How wide does the cellophane need to be?
    What about the ribbon, where is the best place to buy it and how wide?

    M&S have 3 for 2 on some of their soft toys at the moment if anyone is interested.

    Some fab cakes on here, I've got lots of inspiration. Don't know if mine will look as good.
