Cakes for Kendall!

Here are the first two diaper cakes I attempted to make for my Niece Kendall. I found a few websites that had instructions on how to create these and went from there,  all-in-all they turned out pretty great! There are of course a lot of things I would change looking back at them now, but for a first attempt they turned out really well! As you will see in the cakes to come I made sure to use more contrasting colors with the ribbon as well as décor because the diapers themselves are white and the white ribbon tended to blend in a little too much on these ones.








Even though the flowers I used have some light pink in them I tried to go for a more trendy and hip look by using the hot pink ribbon and sparkly silver ribbon as sometimes people can go a little overboard on the pepto bismol pink for little girls!




The cakes look very simple looking back on them now, I used less flowers and ribbons than I currently do and only a few baby items.



As you can see from the picture above I included additional baby items on the cake such as baby socks, spoons, pacifiers and rattles. There are also bottles in the very top tiers and baby lotion in the bottom and middle tiers.

Welcome to my blog!

I decided to start this blog to feature one of my favorite things to do in my spare time... crafts, more specifically creating diaper cakes! About a year and a half ago my sister-in-law got pregnant with my Niece Kendall and she knew my love for being crafty and had seen a diaper cake on a website. She asked if I wouldn’t mind making a couple for her baby shower and for my first attempt I must say they turned out really well, plus I had such a fun time creating them. I’ve continued to get better and better with each one and hope you like what you see!
