Diaper Quad

A good friend of mine is having a boy. I thought about doing my usual diaper cake, but thought she needed something different, something boy-ish, something with 4 wheels....

I looked at a few tutorials online and kind of mixed them together and added a little somethin' somethin' of my own and voila!

I might change a couple things when I attempt this again, but overall, I'm happy with it :)

(The license plate is a gift card to Target)

Baby boom

Here is yet another diaper cake I made for my friend Anjuli. I can't believe she's having a baby since I've known her since I was her Beehive Advisor when Miranda was just 1 year old!

I'm having a lot of fun making these cakes for gifts and finding a way to personalize each one.

Even though the basic design is the same, each one is unique and special for the occasion.

More baby gifts

Just wanted to share another diaper cake I created for a gift...
I added a little something new to this one, those are little hair bow's around the ribbon border.
And of course it wouldn't be complete without the "Butt paste" (this bear looks like she doesn't have any eyes)I was able to take the image for this card off their invitation... I just love pink & brown together!

Butterfly Cake

Normally when someone is having a baby girl you would think of PINK!
When I received a baby shower invitation for a friend and it said her nursery colors were Deep purple, Grey and Black I was a little perplexed and not sure how to coordinate the diaper cake with her nursery.

So I headed out on a quest for purple and black... anything purple and black that would work for a baby.

I ended up finding a purple frame and a black and purple clothes pin photo holder... The frame worked perfectly after I distressed it using black paint.
I was well on my way, but what about a purple and black blanket to put on my diaper cake???

I discovered a set of blankets that had purple in it, but also pink... well, it would have to do.
One of the blankets had butterflies on it so I figured that would be the way for me to tie in her colors. So I cut out many butterflies in different sizes in purple, black and grey.
Here is the final result....

I wanted to personalize the frame a little, so I found out what she was naming her baby and cut out vinyl letters to place on the glass.... I printed a b&w photo to place inside and voila... a finished frame. Now remember I also found a clothes pin that matched.... well, here's what I did with it....The clothes pin was already the right colors but I wanted to fancy it up a little so I added a ribbon and flowers. I purchased a Target gift card and covered it in paper from her invitation then adhered it to a card that was held by the clothes pin.
So there you have it... a completed coordinating set to match a purple, gray and black baby nursery! I don't even think you notice the pink too much either :)
