Towel Cake Adventures

I have recently been asked to create a few 'Towel Cakes'.  One for a bridal shower, another for a wedding gift.  Both have inspired me to make a few others on a smaller scale; but first I'd like to share these two.

This one was for a bridal shower,  I love the colors and the way in which they compliment each other.

BRIDAL SHOWER TOWEL CAKE:  Grey towels with silver and white accents

This cake is very large, included 2 extra large bath towels, 2 hand towel, 6 wash cloths. and a double heart cake topper.  The silver flower accents were perfect!

I was asked to make the second cake by a friend of my granddaughters.  Her parents were renewing their vows and had just purchased their first home.  Mom's favorite color was red and she didn't have a wedding cake at her first ceremony.  Her daughter wanted her to have two and baked one and this one.

WEDDING TOWEL CAKE:  White towels with red and silver accents.

Contents include: 4 bath towels, 4 washcloths, 2 champagne flutes, silver and red rose accents.

Her mom loved it and refuses to take it apart.

Both of these designs can be made with any color scheme.  If interested in these or something especially for your event, please feel free to contact me at carlasbabycakes@gmail.com

Onesie Cupcake Ensemble

I have always tried to incorporate essential baby clothes into my diaper cake designs - well I decided to take out the diapers.  It's been rather interesting working without the diapers - onesie  cupcakes are pretty much a norm these days, but naturally my need to provide a little extra won out.  The contents that I used are as follows:  a onesie, a hat, scratch mittens and a bow.  The end results I found to be dainty and adorable.


After baking:
                                                       
                                                       ONESIE CUPCAKE ENSEMBLE


Before baking (lol):



These will come packaged as singles (1), doubles (2) or quadruples (4).

As always your feedback and comments are always welcome.

Pink Monkey 'Dressed' Diaper Cake

Okay so I couldn't resist this ensemble!  The monkey, the blankets, the onesies, and the little booties were just too CUTE!  I immediately needed to create something out of these items ( this is why I try to stay out of the infant department when I'm out shopping, for something other than business).

Here is the before items:



Items include:  35 - Pampers disposable diapers (size 1), 3 - 'Carter' onesies, 2 - 'Carter' knit receiving blankets,  1 - hat, 2 - clip barrettes, 1 - pair of booties, 1 - pair of scratch mittens and 1 - 14 inch 'Carter' musical stuffed monkey.

My After:





I guess stopping by the infant department wasn't such a bad idea after all.  I am very pleased with the results! One of my personal favorites!  I think it's sooooo cute!


Feel free to leave your comments and feedback, it is always appreciated.

Catching up - Ssh! The Baby''s Sleeping!

It's been a while since I've had time to post/share on my blog.  I've decided it's time to catch up - so expect a flood of posts over the next few weeks (time permitting).
I have been working on a wide variety of projects and it is my hope that you all will indulge me as I share. Feel free to comment, critique, inquire or purchase any and all of my designs.

The 'Sleeping Baby Diaper Cake' is the first cake (?) that I'd like to share.  Although, its not for everyone (my daughter thinks they look creepy);  they are definitely a major focus at any baby shower.

Before:  1 - 5 piece 'Bright Future' set which included: bodysuit, bib, hat, sleep & play outfit, and a receiving blanket.  Also used 35 Pampers disposable diapers size 2 and a pacifier.


After:  1 - Peaceful 'Sleeping Diaper Baby'! Guaranteed  to attract attention as a baby shower centerpiece!
