No Need To Shop

I do the shopping for you! I purchase and/or make the baby items for the diaper cake and custom make it for you according to your price point. Basic diaper cake prices begin at $50 and work it's way up from there. No need to step into a store!

How It All Began

It all started when I began shopping for Jordan's cousin's baby shower gift. I knew I didn't want to get her just one item, but several little items that I collected in the weeks approaching her party. After I had all the items I wanted, I realized there wasn't a good "way" to gift them. I didn't just want to put them in a gift bag as they were all fairly tiny, and I was afraid it would look weird. Then, by chance, I thought back to one of my baby showers where two co-workers of mine put together a diaper cake for me and attached several baby items to it. I decided that would be the way I'd put together her gift, and would tie in everything I was wanting to give her. The only problem was, I wasn't quite sure how to start making a diaper cake.

Well, Google quickly became my friend and I based my design off of several websites. I didn't copy any site per se, just followed their instructions and incorporated my own design. To my surprise, the diaper cake was a hit at the baby shower and I immediately had two family members interested in them. Since then I have made five diaper cakes, and have another one in the works. I really enjoy putting the diaper cakes together, shopping for baby items, and creating homemade baby products that I include in them (these include baby wash and burp cloths and pacifier clips at the moment).

When I create a diaper cake, I strive to include items that I know mom and babies need in the first year of life. I also strive to custom make each cake for each customer, and will incorporate any requests that you may have. No cake is the same and they all represent each baby in a different way.

What is a Diaper Cake?

It's not quite what you're thinking... it's not an actual cake in the shape of a diaper. A diaper cake is a collection of diapers, rolled together to form a three-tiered looking "cake". Bibs, pacifiers, rattles, spoons, anything sizable enough to fit are then placed on the tiers and create a colourful look to the diaper arrangement. Ribbon and cellophane are added at the end to complete the cake.

Diaper Cakes...

I'm a new mom who's started in the side business of creating diaper cakes (with the help of some family members!!!!). Thus far I've put together three, with one more in the works. Since I'm in beginning stages, I do not have a website put together yet, so I'm blogging it right now. Hopefully if things take off, I can put together a website, but time will tell.

I've started creating these diaper cakes mainly because I find it fun to weave creative thoughts into them, seeing how I can make each cake different than the next, while adding a homemade touch. I also enjoy the shopping for baby items, I won't lie! It's my favourite thing! I'm currently a stay-at-home-mom taking care of my, now, 6 month old baby girl, Sofia. I plan to go back to work sometime in the fall but hope to continue cake making on the side.
