So i've been seeing these around lately at boutiques and baby showers. This past weekend was a shower for my friend, Afton, and I thought I'd give it a try. How hard could it be really? So I just googled "How to make a diaper cake" and found about a million links. So I just started scavenging (sp) around my house to see what I could come up with before I went to the store and guess what... I had everything! The bottom two layers are newborn diapers (we had a left over box from aspen that I've been saving for #2), the top layer is made up of 2 tye-died onesies and a little burp cloth I had made a while ago.... I sewed little ribbon tags all around the edges. Then I just tied it all up with a few pink ribbons i had on hand and finished it off with the cute pink flower hair clip that i made with a couple of heidi swapp pink flowers, a bling brad, a hair clip and some hot glue! I must say I was a little impressed with myself. i might just have to make myself a blue diaper cake... it was so fun! Unfortunately, I was sick as a sick dog the day of the shower so i just had to drop it off and run... but good luck Afton... you are a trooper!

Okay Katie. You have totally missed your calling. Why aren't you doing all your crafts & selling them?!! You could be rich, I say, RICH. I'm not stalking you, I just am bored on this Saturday at work.....
I want that cake to be real with all those layered frosted with the yummiest frosting. I want a slice right now. Konni has been making those too. It is gorgeous!
What a cute cake! I love it, you did a great job!
Wow, it really did turn out so cute! Love it. Now maybe if we could just get pregnant then you could make me one....ha ha..
Too cute. I did one for a friends shower too and yours could beat mine with the ugly stick. Loves, E
