Pink & Brown Polka Dot Diaper Cake

I received a call from a Soon-to-be Grandma asking for a pink and brown cake for her daughter.  She had attended a baby shower and saw the Pink Owl cake I had made for her friend - my first referral!

She asked that I use rhinestones to spell out Brielle.  To this point, I had never used rhinestones, but was eager to try something new.  I knew from the beginning that I wanted a cute teddy bear for the top  and was pleased when I found this one! From the rhinestones, to the polka dots, and the colors of the receiving blankets - I love how everything tied together on this cake!

Cake Ingredients:

98 Pampers Swaddlers Diapers - Size 1

3 Carters Receiving Blankets

1 Teddy Bear

Rhinestone Lettering

Decorative Ribbon and Flowers

Tigger Diaper Cake

Long before I was born, my mom met a wonderful couple and they've remained friends for more than 30 years.  Their youngest child was the closest in age to me, so I've known Lindsay since we were little kids.  Many years, our families would meet for New Year's Eve.  This would usually be our yearly get-together growing up but the two of us always had fun together!

Lindsay and her new husband, Matt, are welcoming their first baby.  Is it a boy, or is it a girl?  We don't know, but can't wait to find out!  All the best to my long-time friend!

Cake Ingredients:
78 Pampers Swaddlers Diapers - Size 1

Pink Owl Diaper Cake

This cake is a direct result of someone finding my blog online!  Before, all my cakes were created for friends.  Thanks to those friends for giving me the opportunity to be creative!  And, thank you to my first outside customer for giving me the chance to work with you to create a beautiful cake for Baby London! It's great to know that my hard work is starting to show and people like what I do... :)

One of the hardest things about making baby cakes is finding the perfect items to go together.  I typically ask for the nursery theme and colors.  Putting those two things together can sometimes prove to be challenging!  Many times I find the theme but not the right colors, or in the right size to fit the cake.  For this cake, I had no trouble finding pink owls; however, they kept being entirely too big!  My husband was kind enough to come along with me for this shopping trip.  After a few stores, he found my cake topper!

All the best to mom and dad to be and Baby London!

Monkey Business

This cake was made for a good friend of mine since high school.  I had originally intended for the monkey on the left to be the cake topper.  Then my husband suggested I go "King Kong" style (typical man, I guess!) and I have to say, I think it was a wise decision!
