Ok so one of my confessions from my 6 random things post is about how I wouldn't mind running my own diaper cake business. I just love making them they are so much fun. I have to say that there isn't a single part of making a cake that I find boring or tedious. The only thing about the diaper cakes is that everyone I know and have made one for has been having a boy, so I have never been able to make a girl baby diaper cake. I'm hoping it changes soon due to Amy's news. I think her girls will get to be girl diaper cakes #1 and #2. So one of my typical diaper cakes consists of 112 size one diapers, 10 washcloths, 5 onesies, a blanket, bath wash, baby lotion, powder, and 2 pacifiers. Then if I know the babies name I might put it on the front of the cake. I change the cakes up all the time so everyone is a little different from the last.
I guess I should tell you how I stumbled into this little adventure. Well it all started with this blog I was stalking about Suz and how she and her husband Joe were preparing to have quads. Well the people at her father's office threw a shower and gave her a diaper cake and so with my friend Leah's baby shower coming up, I thought I would give it a try. Now I researched and looked at all kinds of pictures online and I had in my mind a vision of how I wanted hers to look like. I wanted it to be three or four layers and have these wires coming out of the top with her bottles hanging of them. Needless to say I was thinking a little grandiose, and because it was so hard to make the "dangling bottles" work I will not attempt that ever again.
Since that first cake I have made one for my friend Chrissie to take to her school for a fellow teacher (that is the only one that I didn't get a picture of), one for Kris' boy Jack Hudson who arrived yesterday (Congrats Kris and Amanda!), and one for my cousin Bill's new son Brady Charles. The pictures are in that order starting with Leah and baby Casen's.

So there you have it. That is one of my maybe jobs I wouldn't mind doing. I guess if you are interested and want a diaper cake leave me a message.

I CAN'T believe our diaper cake was your first one ... it was SO perfect!!! You are gifted with a huge amount of creativity! You really should start a diaper cake business! If you need help rolling diapers, Casen and I would LOVE to help!
You need to sell these, Martha! There's a store in Coppell, It's a Party, and they sell them-- way smaller than yours for OVER $100!! You could be banking... I'm just saying... :)
