Nappy Cake

I've made another nappy cake, this time to fulfill an order not as a gift, so i'm well excited and nervous. I thought i'd take some photos to sort of show you how i did it and how it evolved from just a pack of disposable nappies. ...Here they are rolled and rubber banded.

The bottom tier rolled and wrapped with a blanket and baby products being added.

The second tier

more products added and ribbon.

and the finished product from the front

from the left

from the right

and finally the back.

I've just got to cellophane the whole thing and once its done i'll take a photo and post it on here. Let me know what you think!

Oops nearly forgot to list the ingredients ....

Anyone For Cake ........?!

No cards as yet today but I have made a cake .... not your usual cake .... this has no calories! It's a nappy cake!!! My ingredients are ..... 48 first size nappies (2 packs of Sainsbury's own brand on offer at around £2.64, can't really remember. Was told that they are really good nappies though) 1 x Winnie the Pooh bottle (79p from Home Bargains), 1 x Winne the Pooh Thermometer (£1.49 from Home Bargains), Winne the Pooh bottle brush (99p from Home Bargains), Tigger Dummy and clip (£1.49 from Home Bargains), Baby on Board sign (£1.00 for 2 from Poundland), 1 x white bath towel and 2 x white hand towels (Asda smart price range £2.93) 5 x white face cloths (Asda smart price range 20p each), Winnie the Pooh brush and comb set (£1.00 from Poundland), teether (2 for £1.oo from Poundland), Winnie the Pooh rattle (£1.00 from Poundland) Cellophane (£2.00 from local florist), ribbon from stash. The grand total is £17.26. What a fab, unusual present! I loosely followed a tutorial I found here that I found easy to understand. This is the top tier and consists of 4 nappies, a wooden spoon with the sign bluetacked to it, a brush and comb set, hand towel and a face cloth made into a candle (am so impressed with the candles). This is the middle tier it has 10 nappies, a hand towel, thermometer and dummy and clip.

The bottom tier has the remaining 34 nappies, a rattle, bottle, bottle brush, teether, 4 face cloths and a bath towel.

This is the back of it. I'm really pleased with it and have taken it to my friend Sharron to give to her daughter Carla for me, she's not due until May but I don't have anywhere to store it and I was really excited about Carla having it. Now I can't wait to make my next one!

Edited: Sharron and John (grandparents to be) Carla and Neil (parents to be) were absolutely thrilled with the nappy cake, they loved it. Carla left me a message on Facebook saying "Carla & Neil r really pleased with the baby presents from Jill & family thanks x." Sharron phoned me again today to thank me lol!
