I think it would maybe look a little neater if you were to fold the vest a little smaller, also you'd be able to see the nappies and socks a bit better.

Here's one I made a while back, to give you an idea of folding the vest.

Thanks for that, The vest is so little though and when I fold it it does not fit around the nappies!

I've just started making my 1st nappy cake for a friend who's expecting in August and finding your advice and piccies inspiring so thank you very much everyone!!! I'm being held back at the moment by the fact that I want to do it themed in pink/blue but her scan has been postponed!!

Anyway, I was in Sainbury's this morning and they had some gorgeous white velour 'bobbly' blankets. Should be £8 but there's 25% off all TU until Monday so they were £6. HTH!

I have used this blanket before but in cream, it is lovely.

This is it


Good luck to all you ladies who have fairs today, it's a beautiful day here.

Hi Can I ask what size vest/clothes you are using? Most of us tend to use bigger sizes I believe. I always use 3-6 months and they won't go around the full cake however they will cover the front like on Candys picture

Think I have already said it but will say again, good luck to all those who have fairs

I have just finished 2 cakes, a blue single tier for my sister, and a 3 tier winnie, The red ribbon looked rubbish so I went with Brown and then covered it in some white organza looks quite nice, Thanks Becs for the brown suggestion! I am not normally one for using browns but quite like it on the cakes

for anyone with a B&M nearby i found a pack of 3
white muslin squares for £1.99 there
also winnie the pooh brush sets 99p
winnie the pooh wash mitts 69p
then in home bargains they have
disney brush sets too 99p

Oooh Rusty - your Winnie the Pooh cake looks gorgeous - love it with the brown ribbons - it works really well!!

Love the Matalan patterned fleece - I've got that one too just haven't made it up yet but they make a nice change from plain ones don't they!! Haven't been able to find the pink butterfly again and really don't think I can bare to part with the one I have :rotfl:

Thankyou Popkins & Yummy mummy I am still undecided about the pooh cake, it looks nice but just think it could be different ... still I musn't complain

My blue on in the pic above I think looks gorgeous wrapped!! I really am happy with that one. Amazes me how a cake can look so different with a different teddy on it, I have pics on OH's pc with an ellie on it and it doesn't look as good as the one above!

Bella - quick question, I noticed you had a giraffe cake (think it was a luxury one?) on your site, what is the ribbon you used? I want to make up a neutral cake with a teddy I got yesterday but don't want to use standard ribbons i.e spots or ginghams, I was thinking giraffe print would be too much but don't want it to be boring and plain either?
