Well, first off I'd like to say a HUGE thank-you to everyone for your inspirational creations! I've nearly finished my first ever nappy cake which is a present for a friend of mine who is expecting a little boy. I've really enjoyed making it and just need to add ribbon to each layer and then wrap it in cellophane before it's done! I'm quite pleased with it but thought I'd show it to you experts who might be able to suggest some tweaks! Anyway, It's cost me a fortune but it's got loads in it:

• 35 Size 2 Huggies Newborn Nappies
• 27 Size 1 Huggies Newborn Nappies
• Soft White Velour Self-spotted Blanket
• Soft Blue Fleece Blanket
• 5 Bodysuits (0-3 Months)
• 3 Newborn Bibs
• 2 Hats (0-3 months)
• 3 Pairs of Scratch Mitts
• 1 Pair Baby Booties
• 10 “Roses” - 5 Pairs of socks (0-2.5)
• 4 White Muslin Squares
• Baby Brush & Comb
• 3 ‘Burp’ Cloths
• 2 Tommee Tippee Anti-Colic Bottles
• 2 Mam Clear Orthadotic Soothers (0+)
• Cooling Teether (Stage 1)
• Rattle Teether (6+ months)
• Winnie the pooh bath thermometer
• 8 Baby Feeding Spoons (9+ months)
• Jellycat ‘Elly’
• Botanics Gentle & Mild Baby Bath Foam
• Botanics Gentle & Mild Baby Lotion
• Botanics Gentle & Mild Baby Shampoo
• 6 Safety Nappy Pins
• Co-ordinating Ribbons
• 14" Cake Drum

Thank you for your kind words!! The blanket was from Sainsbury's but rather expensive according to some of the posts on here (I paid £6 on offer but normally £8). Do you have a TKMAXX near you? The Elly was from there yesterday for £3.99 and I've seen them in quite a few so they might have them nationally! BTW - any ideas on how to stop him falling off!!

That is gorgeous - don't do anything at all !..... think Elly will stay in place when you add cellophane

Yep I agree - Elly should stay in place once the cellophane has been added!!

EMJ2 ..... absolutely stunning.
I cannot believe that that is your first attempt. You've obviously got the knack.
How on earth did you manage to fit in all the contents, your friend I am sure will adore it.
I really don't think you need to change anything, it is beautiful.
You will find that once it is wrapped in cellofane, it will help to hold the Ellie on top.
Just one question ...... with all those contents inside ...... can you actually lift it ???
