Baking Diaper Cakes

I started making Diaper Cakes approximately 2 years ago when 3 of my dear friends were all pregnant within weeks of each other. This was an attempt to make creative, practical and equal gifts for my mommy-to-be friends.

My first Diaper cakes took me FOREVER, mainly because I had no idea what I was doing!  
Also, I rolled each diaper!  OMG!

Here are the 1st 3 diaper cakes I ever made.  These were not cost effective in the least!  
I have since streamlined and de-cluttered my cakes, but I still hold these 3 near and dear to my heart as I do the the babies the represent  Kenley, Madelyn and Aiden!

I then began researching on Etsy.  I would look up Diaper Cakes that I liked and try to re-create them.  Luckily I had a lot of baby showers to attend to prefect my craft.  I now use receiving blankets on my cakes which I feel act as a 'frosting' and make the cakes look more finished AND add to the gift!  Here are a few of my favorites!


 Now my friend Jamie will be having her first baby and...ITS A BOY!  
We are very excited to welcome Baby Maddox to the world.  
I am working on his cake this week and will post pics once I have completed it.
