    Hello ladies.

    Just finished this cake for my best friend to give. She bought all the clothing for it, so have only charged her £15 for the blanket, ribbons, nappies and decorating things.

    Other than the blanket and booties, its all winnie the pooh:) Cost both of us about £30 together so Ive listed it as a £40 to sell. Sound fair?

    Hi everyone

    I am a MSE newbie, but am loving this thread.
    I have looked at the early pages and am aware of how to do it etc, but I am just not sure what to buy.
    I am looking to make one for my daughter's nursery teacher (who will be going on maternity leave in June).
    All of the cakes look absolutely fantastic. I am just wanting to do this one, not really looking to make anymore etc, so am really just needing to know what to buy to make one 3 tier nappy cake.

    Thanks in advance
    Anything that you want to (or can fit in !!!).
    In my 3 tier I have:-
    Nappies, teddy, blanket, baby gro, vest, bib, 2 pairs socks, dummy, Johnson's Baby Bath, Shampoo and Soap

    Yeah, given she's your best friend and she bought a lot of stuff... sounds fair, and cake is beautiful.
