Moonpenny i love your "minis" i dont have much creative flare so can i ask you what sort of thing you put in your one tiers?

Hi Chazzy, You're right - they do look quite tall but they are all on a 7 inch board and stand 5 inch high. I've used the same "Matalan" Burp cloths that everyone is using on all of them. I have even folded some underneath so they wouldn't be as tall. Might be an optical illusion with the stripes. I have been trying out different nappies instead of Pampers and these are Tesco "own" newborn size 2. I don't like them - they are stiffer and not shaped at the front, and I found them difficult to roll so I have left them whole and put them around a central "rolled" one and fastened with an elastic band. I then took out the rolled one and put my goodies in there.

Emma - There are only 7 nappies in the Minis, 1 burp cloth, 1 toy and in the middle I have put 1 short sleeved all- in- one vest, 1 pr socks and 1 bib, all rolled up together like a nappy.

Fabulous again Moonpenny :T:T:T
Have you sold any of the cupcakes yet?

moonpenny

Hi Shelley - Quick answer to that is NO!! I'm crazy - have been experimenting making them but havn't even attempted selling yet. Me thinks the time has come!!!

How are you doing with your orders? Are you finding people want a particular one or 3 tiers only etc?

Yes I think the time has definitely come - they will be selling like hot cakes (pardon the pun)!!
I'm finding the 3 tiers are definitely more popular. Although this week i've had orders for cupcakes and a 2 tier. I've got 4 outstanding at mo but haven't been able to make them this weekend because of my bad shoulder. Will try and catch up tomorrow hopefully my arm will be better then

Your minis are great! they look lovely!

I have used tesco's size 2's tonight for a nappy cake for a friend who had a baby on sat morning by section. I thought they were alright and quite liked them, easier to roll and looked neater than the size 3's in pampers baby dry/huggies/pampers activefit I normally use.

Hi Shelley hows the shoulder? sounds like you had a good night!

Shelley3774

OOOOO the shoulder Rusty is a nightmare. I did a spectacular rugby dive outside a nightclub so really feeling the results now. Its eased a little today and I managed to drive the car but i was secretly hoping it would be still bad by Weds so I wouldn't have to go to work!! We did have a good day and night though. My OH went on the stag do last night and was throwing up when he came. Needless to say I booted him out of bed and he had to sleep in the guest room LOL. I even made him get up to take the children to school today :p:p

Hiya Rusty, Yeah! The Tesco nappies did look neater but I thought they felt a bit stiff. On the Pampers though, they sometimes look uneven because they are soft. I found a bowl and placed all 7 around edge (with flat front on outside edge so it would sit flatter). I put a rolled up one in middle and then put elastic band over to bring it together and emptied it out of dish. It was just a matter of tidying up and spacing the edges neatly and it was done. It was sooo easy and really neat. Dipped a bit in middle which was good to sit toy in.

Ooooh never thought of using a bowl and doing it that way! I made up one tonight which is being collected tomorrow by Kevin the courier man lol (is it sad that I am on first name basis with the man at DHL?) and I have partially finished one for friend using size 2's can't finish completely though as I need to nip into newcastle and get a blanket from primark lol however I have completely done the top tier
