Twin Diaper Cakes

Hello readers! Cj emailed me pictures of the cakes she did for her hubby's cousin who is expecting Twins! She did 2 cakes one for each baby!. Each cake contains the following:

4 wash clothes
2 onesies
2 receiving blankets
1 safety item (one has a thermometer and the other outlet plugs I think she said)
1 Johnsons to go kit
1 bib
1 stuffed bunny
92 Luvs diapers size 3
3 trillions flowers! LOL

I was so excited about these pictures I could not wait to share! She did say that when she gets up and running for orders (which I am sure she will take whenever) these baskets would run around $75 each but can easily be made to any size budget simply by making them smaller or using store brand diapers or by leaving some flowers off.

I don't know what you think but I think these look AMAZING!

Diaper cakes

Hello everyone! I have been busy getting craft show stuff ready and all that good stuff. However I do have a fun new project for everyone to help me with. My best friend asked me to help with ideas for a project. She has been making diaper and towel cakes for showers and weddings she has been going to . They are awesome in my opinion and they get a great feedback. She would like to figure out how to get some orders for them and start making them for other people. I suggested Etsy, maybe craigslist, community bulletin boards etc. So she sent me a few pictures to post. So what I am looking for is feed back. what do you like, what do you not like. These are commletely customizable and can be done in any price range to fit any budget. They are ideal for weddings, graduations, bridal showers, house warming gifts etc. There are a bunch on Etsy but she does nice work and will work within a budget. So here we go. I have no idea what she is going to call this venture but for now let's call it Cakes by Cathi-jo.





Dallas Cowboys Diaper Cake



She is looking for towel cake pictures as we speak so hopefullly I can add those soon. The Dallas Cowboys cake was huge and heavy! Five tiers! She made that one for my cousin. She is curretnly working on Diaper cakes for her husband cousin who is expecting twins! I will get pictures of those in the next couple of weeks and post as well. So remember gang I need feedback. She would like to start doing this for other people becasue she loves doing them.

Baby Bootie Cake

In December we had a baby shower at work for one of our doctors. Somehow I ended up making the cake. Since it was for work and had to be transported on the subway to work I had to get creative. I mean come on no cake in it's right mind is going to voluntarily jump on the subway and ride around! It is hard enough for people to ride around on the subway. If you have never ridden a subway imagine a very bumpy, jittery, crowded car ride except often times you are standing up the whole time. A very unfriendly atmosphere for a cake. After much thought I decided it would be cute to make miniature baby booties. Everyone could have there own cake and it would make transportation easy. I ultimately decided to take all the stuff to work and make it at work.

Making the cakes at work was a treat with little to no workspace available but I made due. They were really easy and came out so cute. All it took was some miniature cupcakes, frosting, food coloring, coconut and about 5000 hours of spare time in my day to put them together. In the end they were a hit and I did manage to get a few pictures although they may be hard to see.




I did the cakes in pink and blue. Chocolate was one color and Vanilla was the other to make life easier. There was even coconut on some for the coconut lovers in the group



Up close and personal view of the booties.




The bags in the background were the favors. We got small Cucumber melon scented body wash and placed them in the miniature gift bags and tied a small plastic pacifier to it with ribbon. They came out really nicely and people loved the favors. They were very inexpensive. So if you need a few shower ideas feel free to borrow them! Enjoy!

It has been a long time

Well everyone it has been a long time since I have put an update here. I promise it was not intentional. Life has just gotten in the way. I have been making items like crazy for christmas gifts, craft shows and for people who have said can you make me this. So orders for christmas have been hoping. I am almost done. The end is in near. Just 4 more aprons to go! then I think I am done with orders. Then again I was done and these are new ones.

Even with all of this I am trying to finish 2 baby blankets as well as find time to cross stitch. Well cross stitching ins on hold until at least the one blanket is done. The other blanket well.the kid is 6 months old so maybe I will have it finished for his first birthday! Good thing Imade it big!

I also have some pictures to post one of these days. Of wedding caked and I just made little baby bootie cakes for a shower. So I promise soon I will get pictures posted!
