That's what little boys are made of!

I am sorry it took me a while to get the photos up of the most recent diaper cake.  I have been very busy this past week with alterations to be done and multiple meetings.  But without further ado I would like to introduce you to the "Eli's Elephant" diaper cake, inspired by Pottery Barn Kids.  This cake was shipped out Wednesday to a customer in Ohio.

This cake included: 130 Pampers Swaddler Diapers, 2 Parent's Choice baby bottles, cardboard cake round, and 12 yards of premium ribbon.  The 2" ribbon is a wired ribbon, the others are not.  I was really quite pleased with the way this cake turned out.  I loved playing around with the ribbon widths on this cake and am loving the alternating layers!  It is the first 4 tier cake I had created but I am sure only the first of many to come!

Surpise!

So I am excited to report to you that a new cake will be added on here soon.  It was inspired by Pottery Barn kid's baby collection called "Eli's Elephant".  The elephants are adorable (especially on the bedding).  I have been asked to recreate a cake inspired by the theme of this bedding.  I found quite a few ribbons at Michael's last week that fit this theme perfectly!  Seeing as this cake is a baby boy's cake I knew I needed a topper that was something other than flowers.  It wasn't until yesterday that I found the perfect elephant to top off this 4-tier beauty.  I found a Carter's brand elephant at Target that (to my surprise) matched almost perfectly to the elephants found at Pottery Barn.  Needless to say, I can not wait to see the finished product.  I hope you are as excited as I am.  Check back soon!
