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.
