LONDON, September 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

The Guess How Much I Love You Coochy Coo Nappy Cake contains lots of surprises, and not a single calorie!

Choosing a gift to welcome a new baby into the world can be overwhelming, there's so much choice it's hard to know where to start. Is it better to buy something to keep forever, something to wear right now, something useful to help mum and dad through those first few days? Finally, thanks to Coochy Coo Nappy Cakes and a very special picture book, there's an easy one-stop-shop solution with a gift that's beautiful, memorable AND practical, all essential ingredients for new parents!

Coochy Coo is the award-winning business of Lorraine Bostoff, who specialises in creating adorable, affordable nappy cakes and gift ranges for all new baby occasions. Nappy cakes are made from blankets, baby socks and babygros, beautifully folded to look exactly like a tiered occasion cake. Each cake is filled with baby essentials from nappies to skincare products and decorated with toys and keepsakes. Stunning to look at they make a great centrepiece at a baby shower and have plenty of wow factor when delivered to new parents at the hospital or when they're back at home with baby.

Guess How Much I Love You, written by Sam McBratney and illustrated by Anita Jeram, celebrates its 20^th anniversary this year. A global success it has sold over 28 million copies worldwide and has been translated into 53 languages. The story of Big and Little Nutbrown Hare's expression of unconditional love has always struck a special chord with new parents and the book has gone on to inspire a popular range of infant and baby gifts. The story is also popular in Lorraine's own household and, having first-hand experience of what it is about this special tale that resonates with parents, she was keen to partner with Guess How Much I Love You publisher Walker Books and add the book and its characters to Coochy Coo's range.

The Guess How Much I Love You nappy cakes come in both two tier and three tier sizing, with cake ingredients including Guess How Much I Love You books, toys and comforters, as well as a range of useful new baby essentials including Pampers nappies and Johnson's baby products. The Guess How Much I Love You nappy cakes and themed gift baskets are now available from http://www.coochycoonappycakes.co.uk, Amazon and Tesco Direct.

Lorraine Bostoff, Coochy Coo Nappy Cakes, says, 'I feel honoured that Guess How Much I Love You is part of the Coochy Coo range. Big Nutbrown Hare and Little Nutbrown Hare are such well known and loved characters. My children are really excited too as they have read the book from an early age, so they think mummy is amazing and that's the best recognition I could hope for!"
