My Comfort Zone - Roses and Barrettes Diaper Cake

I have taken a step back to my comfort zone with this baby shower diaper cake. My inspiration really was the ribbon barrettes with rhinestones.  When I found them in the store I knew that I would be incorporating them into a diaper cake, what I didn't know was how.
As I worked on this cake I smiled fondly remembering the first gift my daughter received from one of her aunts was barrettes and headbands (even though she was born bald). A tradition had been born on that day, my daughter loved to shop for hair ornaments to add to her collection. Over the years, her collection symbolized different stages of her life preschool, kindergarten, middle school, etc; although she lost a few along the way, those first barrettes she received are still a part of her collection and a treasured keepsake.
I love it when a diaper cake makes me smile.
