Diaper Cakes

I love baby showers. It's a time when I get to share in the excitement of a new baby with close family or friends. I've, also, always been intrigued by the crafty people that I know. Somewhere along the way, it seems to have rubbed off on me. A while ago, I started crafting these "diaper cakes." No, they aren't edible. It is quite literally diapers held together with some rubberbands in the shape of a cake. When I first started doing it I had no idea what I was doing, but I'm a perfectionist and I did what seemed natural to me or what made the most sense. Now it seems to run close to second nature. The fun part is the decorating. Each baby is different and each new mommy has a style that she wishes for her child. The above picture is the cake that I did for my sister-in-law. She isn't very girly, but she did mention that she'd already stopped in front of the girl clothes at the store and she'd fallen in love. In staying with her style, I went with pink (to be girly) with a hint of black (to be a bit of a rebel). I think, my point here is to know your customer. I like to make it a point to get to know the customer and create something that they will love.
