    I tried making one of these a while ago after seeing one on the net (think it was an American site). I gave up though cos I just couldn't get it to look good! The one I saw had a dummy for a mouth and a smaller bib.

    These aren't the same websites I looked at before but they are similar! http://tabenterprises.com/tab%20images/gallery/pages/customshapescakes.htm or http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=cat2_gallery_5&listing_id=23707588 (not sure about the sunglasses on the second one!!)

    Hope it helps and good luck with them - hope you've got more patience than me!!

    Thanks for posting the bear, I had a go at making one (just messing around), I think he looks cute although i may have to change it before giving it to anyone, i used what i had to hand which included tablets for eyes and lovehearts for a nose!

    Im going to try and get some gifts into it but not sure how yet other than baby grows. I like the rattle in the hand but the glasses make it look a bit scary i think!

    Oooh thank you - the ribbon is the cheapy ribbon from Hobbycraft - 49p for 3 metres!! the bootees just didn't look right anywhere else & I was concerned they'd move around!!

    :jReally need to make some sales now!! LOL!! At least I've done my neutral cake now so can hopefully (fingers crossed!) complete my leaflets - its been great for taking photos this lovely weather we're having!!:j

    Oooh no I didn't mean it didn't look enough!! :o I was just interested to know what you'd put in it as I haven't done 1 tier ones yet - only seem compelled to make 3 tiers LOL and I really need to make some smaller/cheaper ones :rotfl:I think yours looks lovely and it has inspired me to make some 1 tier ones too!! :T

    Ah right, thanks, im a bit of the opposite, I have made some 2 tiers, and a 1 tier, but no 3 tiers!! :rotfl:

    I am out on the hunt again today so might manage to get the stuff sorted to make a 3 tier ;)

    Popkins, your neutral cake is lovely and I think the booties look better than ok on the bunny - they look great and really add something to the overall look of the cake.
