    How many nappies do people use per 3 tiered cake? Lots of different numbers floating around.

    There is no set rules as to how many to ues i think we all use different nappies and how many we use i would just say try one untill it looks right for you

    Hi everyone!

    This is my first ever attempt at making a nappy cake (inspired by all the beautiful pictures I've seen on here!) It is for my best friend who has just had a baby boy. I stole the idea for the 'baby on board' sign from a you tube video :o

    So...what do you think? Does it look okay or do I need to change anything?

    Wow well done its fab!:T:T
    The ONLY thing I would suggest is to wrap the same ribbon around the top tier too to bring it all together.
