My latest cake creation! I made this cake for my friend Jasmine at work who is having a little girl in a couple months. This was my gift for her at the work baby shower and there was a special note to mention 'the less pink the better' in the invitation. I found this amazing paisley ribbon to use on the cake and even though it was pink, I used purple and yellow flowers to offset it.
I used the doilies again underneath the cake and per my husbands suggestion used yellow ribbon the second tier with a hint of yellow flowers to really make this cake pop!

Totally for Tamara!
This was my first attempt at a diaper cake for a little boy and I found it much more difficult not being able to use my normal beautiful flowers like I do for little girls. Instead the ‘theme’ of the shower was rubber duckies and the colors were blue and yellow.
I found these cute mini polka dot rubber duckies at a party store and while I liked the look I just kept feeling like the cake needed something more! I used some really cute rubber ducky ribbon and the normal décor, pacifiers, socks, baby spoons to finish it up!

All for Abigail!
This is by far my FAVORITE diaper cake I’ve made so far, it’s girly and so sweet yet still funky and fun! I made this for my friend Tanya’s little girl Abigail and also co-hosted her baby shower. The theme was a ‘circus’ and we had a cute little elephant on the shower invite and then decorated with pink elephants around the house.
For the first time I used doilies at the bottom of the cake to add an antique look to the cake. I also LOVED the light pink and yellow flower sprays I used to look like a burst of flowers coming out of the cake!
Sooo happy that Tanya loved it so much, she even told me she thinks it's too pretty to take apart (and because the diapers I used were size 2 she can leave it up for awhile) !

Surprise for Scarlett!
This was my first non-pink inspired cake that I made for my Bestest friend Meegan’s daughter Scarlett! I also threw the baby shower for Scarlett and one of the things Meegan wanted was no pink! We ended up choosing green and purple as the main colors and the shower was ‘sweet-pea’ themed.
This was the first cake that I decided that a taller bottle worked best in the top tier, it acted more as a topper to the cake along with the flowers and since then I’ve made sure to use the tall colored bottles in the top tiers of all my cakes. You can also see I went back to using the Pampers Swaddlers brand of diapers.
I absolutely LOVED putting this cake together one, because it was a surprise to Meegan, and two because it was made out of so much love for Meegan and her baby girl!! Meegan is the best friend/wife and mother a person could know and I feel so blessed to have her in my life!
