Diaper Cakes

...no, this isn't some weird baby version of the infamous litter box cake :)

A few weekends ago, I had some of my girlfriends over to celebrate the pending arrival of not one but two bouncing baby boys. My friends Emily and Jana are both due this month within two weeks of each other.

As usual, Greg spoiled us and grilled out chicken, while I served up BLT pasta salad, orange fluff salad, and green beans.

For this occassion I created diaper cakes. The process is actually pretty easy, you can find directions online by googling "diaper cakes". Essentially you roll up and tie shut diapers, tie the diapers into cake-shaped layers, stack and decorate. In doing so you also hide things in the cake that they'll need like Butt Paste (yes, there's actually a product with that exact name), baby wipes, pacifiers, toys, blankets, washclothes, etc. You can also use those items to decorate it, or add other things like flowers, ribbons, etc.

So I did one for each mom using their registry as a guide of the color, theme, and contents which made them unique to each mom.

So here's a few pictures of the cakes as well...enjoy!
