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!

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!

A Bouquet ??? A Table Centerpiece ???

I am sitting here looking at my latest creations, wondering if it's a bouquet or a table decoration. At the outset of working on these, I was searching for my own interpretation of a 'Baby Sock Bouquet'. What I have come up with is an entirely different presentation of that concept.   I guess they could serve either purpose, but seriously what do you think?  Bouquet or table centerpieces?

Naturally, because I lean toward incorporating baby clothing items into my designs, I have not used the traditional fillers (artificial flowers and greenery) in either of these models, although it is entirely possible to include them.  Yes, there are diapers in these designs!

Well, what would you label them  -  Bouquet or Table Centerpiece or ...?  I am open to any ideas about these designs.  I am considering offering these for sale.

As always your feedback is welcomed and appreciated.

Monkey Diaper Cake

I decided to add a 'Monkey theme' diaper cake to my portfolio. I started with two different ideas, this is one of them. The second one is still a work in progress, which I hope to be done with soon. I normally only make 4 layer diaper cakes by request, this particular cake seemed to need the added height and extra diapers. I scaled back on a few items in order to keep this cake 'dressed' and affordable.

This is the top of the cake.

Contents:
 90 - Disposable Diapers (size 1)
Your choice - Pampers, Huggies or Luvs

 5 - 'Gerber' Onesies
 size 6-9 months

 3 - 'Gerber' Infant Hats

 4- Pairs Infant Socks

 4 - Receiving Blankets

 2 - 9oz Bottles (Gerber)

 1 - 6 inch Stuffed Monkey

The dimensions of this diaper cake are 26 inches in height and 14 inches in diameter, so it is suitable for use as a baby shower centerpiece.


Please feel free to leave your comments, they are very much appreciated.

I have been working on these 'Petite Diaper Cakes' for the past few days.  They are adorable!
They can be 'Dressed' with a special outfit, toys or toiletries can be added or left just as they are.
Use them as table decorations at a baby shower.
Give one to congratulate the special parents or grandparents-to-be.
Dad surprise mom with a 'Petite Diaper Cake' - she'll adore it!

What do you think of my 'petite' diaper cake?

I think it's as stylish as its larger counterparts and amazingly affordable!

BabyCake Sharing

If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.

- Booker T. Washington

The diaper cakes displayed in the photo are my recent donation to a local family support center.
  

They are also my therapy. 

As with each of us, we all have moments when life becomes very focused on our issues, challenges and desires. When I find myself consumed with an inward focus - I create one (or more) of these cake donations. 

They represent my way of shifting my thoughts from myself outward. They give me an outlet for the inevitable stresses in my life. They force me to look out at the world and remind myself that I can do something concrete right now that just might help someone else, small as it seems. 
These 'babycakes' are always welcomed at the center.  I smile when I drop them off, not because I know that they will supply the new parents with a few necessities instead because they are my symbol that I gave a present to myself - compassion.


Feel free to leave your comments.  Your feedback is appreciated.
I look forward to hearing from you.
