Register with photobucket.com.
You download your pics on that and to put them on forum, hover mouse over the pic you want and a box will appear underneath with several options.
You need to click on the bottom one (think its IGM or something) Anyway, just for a second a yellow box will appear which says "copied"
You then go to the forum and in the posting box, left click "paste" The address will appear but when you post, the picture will come up.

Hi all,

Well after a couple of months of reading with interest and admiring your FAB cakes (thanks so much for your ideas and tips!), I've finally made my first (and probably final!) attempt at a nappy cake. It's for my good friend who had her little girl on Wednesday morning. It's not quite the finished article yet-this isn't the teddy I'm going to use and as you can see I haven't bought my ribbons or cello yet, so I'll post again when it's finished and wrapped.

In it there are:

41 nappies
4 vests
3 bibs
2 sleepsuits
2 pairs bootees
2 hats
1 blanket
1 romper suit
1 burp cloth
1 tub barrier cream
1 pair gloves
1 teddy



I hope she likes it!!!!

Thanks so much again!

Hi
I have a cupcake question:
I rectently made a box of 4 for a friend and then I had spare socks which I made up and quickly priced at 3.50 with 2.50 pandp

However I did not realise at the time that I hadnt totally covered my outlay costs [I actually made a loss].
The point: the buyer has now came back to me pleased with the product and whats to buy more, Ive explained the price increase reason [via email]- do you think 7.50 plus 2.50 p and p is reasonable to ask?

Does anyone have any advice for me on the above dilema? The buyer would like more than one boxe:
it costs me:
£3.80 [socks, ribbon, bows, cases etc]
£1.20 [ebay and pay pal fees]- price variable
£2.50 [postage]

So the cost price for a box of 4 is £7.50,
I was allowing 2-2.50 profit on a box.
The buyer has asked if the 7.50 [plus 2.50 p+p] is still the price for a multiple order, but i do not see how i can reduce my price, without going through ebay.
Any advice suggestions welcome?

I would say that if you are unable to drop the price as you would have to compromise on quality which you are not prepared to do.

Some people want something for nothing!!

Thanks riggerz and Queenbee for the lovely comments. It's not on par with any of the masterpieces I see on here (you should see it from the back! :-) ), but I'm relatively happy with how it's turned out andhave been ordered by DH to leave it alone now and stop 'tweaking'!

So below is the finished, unwrapped version. It's expanded somewhat-I went a little mad in town today! It's cost me a fortune, but I hope she loves it!

In addition to the above, it now also has:

3 dummies
2 pairs socks
1 dummy clip
1 brush and comb set
1 doggy rattle
1 chime bunny



Thanks again for sharing your ideas and giving me the inspiration to have a go!
