Another precious butterfly cake!



Happy Fall Ya'll!

Hope you all are enjoying this not so fall weather! According to the calendar fall has officially arrived. According to the temperatures it is still summer. I cannot wait until the cool weather kicks in! I am so ready to say goodbye to all this heat! Fall is my favorite time of year! Just love everything about it and especially all the smells that come along with fall. My VERY favorite fall smell is Yankee Candles Spiced Pumpkin! I have the tarts and the spray and just love them! That wonderful aroma has been filling my home for the past few weeks. I cannot wait for the leaves to completely change either, just makes that commute to work a little more relaxing and enjoyable!

Well, here is my latest creation! Butterflies seem to be very popular this year in the baby world! This cake is not quite complete. I have a few more things to put on it but it was too precious not to share. And I totally forgot to take a picture of the outfit that is inside, which is absolutely adorable. I had to use the picture from the website that I ordered it from. Sorry, it is not the best quality. But you will get the idea.

More creations coming soon!

Hope everyone has a great week!

Sail Away With Me....


Ahoy!


What a perfect day for sailing right? Well, maybe not today because it has been a little dreary. I was hoping for some much needed rain, it is so dry everywhere. If you are a bit down today due to the weather, this cake is sure to cheer you up! It is so precious! I was so excited when I got the order for a sailboat cake! I thought how fun for the summer!

The cake is sold! I have another cake that I will have ready to show you the end of this month, I am very excited to share that one with you as well.

 Hope everyone has a great week!

It's been a while I know....


Hi Everyone!!

I know it has been a while since I have posted anything. Things have been really busy for me. Since I posted last I have changed jobs and have not had much time to blog. Tomorrow, I will begin my second week there! I am really excited because I am working in the Human Resources Department for a manufacturing company and it is my dream job!! I hope that it will all work out and I will get my HR career back on track!

How is everyone liking this warm weather?? It has been HOT HOT HOT! That is for sure! But hey with summer comes all the wonderful cookouts that includes lemonade, watermelon, strawberries, ICE CREAM, the beach, the pool, etc! Oh the joys of summer!

And don't worry even though I am a little busier than I used to be, I will still be making cakes! Just send me an email if you would like to place an order. Most of you know that I have two sizes of cakes that are the most popular the 10" and the 12".  I have had this picture for a while and not had a chance to post, but I wanted you to be able to see the size difference in the two cakes. Its much easier to visualize when you can see them side by side.

Thank you Jess for the new signature! It is so precious!!

I hope everyone has a great week!

Ideas...

Hello!


Have you ever had a day where ideas are just flowing through your head? Well, that is me today! I am thinking of creating a sheet cake style diaper cake...hmm...I think that would be interesting and different.


Also, I am in the mood for ladybugs...don't know why, maybe because they are supposed to bring luck...lol. I think a ladybug cake would be so cute using red and pink. With a cute ladybug plush on top! Let me know if anyone is interested. :)

Hope you all have a great day!


Back to the diaper cake bakery I go...

Brown, Blue & Polka Dots Too!!

Good Morning,
As you saw in my previous post, I have some receiving blankets on hand. I did some Spring cleaning in the diaper cake bakery and found them tucked away. Because I love the brown and blue dots, I am going to start making a 10" cake tonight. For some reason they have been calling me to make a cake with them ever since I found them! This is not something I normally do, I usually only create cakes at the time of order. But, this time I am making an exception...lol. I should have it completed by the end of the week! It will be listed for sale for $40.00. Just shoot me an email if you are interested in purchasing it!

Here is what it will include:

30 pampers swaddlers size 1
4 wash cloths
2 receiving blankets
1 bottle
2 pacifiers
1 set of nail clippers
1 Johnson's take along pack: baby shampoo, baby wash, baby powder, baby lotion and desitin
1 teddy bear to love

Have a great day everyone!

Need a 10" diaper cake??

Hi there!
Hope everyone had a fantastic Monday! I just went through my materials and found some receiving blankets that would be perfect for a 10" cake. I wanted you to see them so you know what I have on hand. Email me at diapergifts4u@verizon.net if you are interested in creating a diaper cake out of any of these receiving blanket combinations.

Have a great evening and a wonderful week!

Honesty is the Best Policy!

Hello!
We all learned growing up that honesty is the best policy! It is unfortunate that there are dishonest people in the world. I am sure that you have come across dishonest people a few times in your lives. I had an experience today that I would like to share with you, because I am honest.

As you all know, I posted a Piglet cake earlier this week. I let the customer know that the cake was ready on Thursday and that we needed to finalize the pick up arrangements. Basically, she stopped communicating with me. I could not get in touch with her. My mind got curious and I started to wonder. I happened to find another cake online that was so similar to the one I had put together, name and everything. The lady said she had it for sale. That made me even more curious. So I emailed the lady and she told me that yes, she had gotten the order and that the lady never showed to pick it up and she rushed to put it together. She said that unfortunately, it sounded like I had gotten scammed too. Why, would someone waste their time doing this? What thrills do they get out of it?

I have received several orders off of Craigslist and I have not had any issues and as a matter of fact, met some really great people! This is unfortunate that I had this experience because I did not see it coming at all. I now will have to be even more cautious than ever and require anyone that I do not know personally to put down a deposit before I proceed with the order.This is definitely a learning experience for me. I guess since I am honest and as good as my word, I trust  that everyone else will be too. I am just too nice and too trusting. I will be taking the necessary steps to ensure that Craigslist is aware of this situation.

Ok enough of my rant. I have had to revise this since I originally posted it. I listed the Piglet cake for sale and all of the information about it and no sooner than I hit "publish post" and checked my email, it had already been SOLD! How fantastic is that? Don't worry, Piglet will be going to a good home and the person that bought the cake is legit and honest :). Thank you again Heather!

Hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend! It looks like we are in for some rain! Sounds like our Sunday will be lazy and will include a nice afternoon nap :)

It's time for the big reveal!!!

Here is the moment you've all been waiting for! Here is PIGLET!! This customer asked that I put the baby's name on ribbon and place on the cake. So, I took pictures of the cake with the ribbon and without it! It was something that I've never done before, and I am never opposed to trying something new! It definitely added a nice personal touch to the cake!

I also included a picture of the outfit that is inside the cake! It is too cute and I just had to share :)

Have a great weekend!

Easter Bunny Cake

Hi!
This is out of the norm for me but today, I decided to make a "real" cake. (ok I it was a box mix but still, I made it). As you can tell it is a Easter Bunny cake! It turned out pretty cute! I made one last year too and had a lot of fun doing it! I don't bake that much so if I do something once or twice a year I am doing pretty good...lol. I just thought I would share the pic! Hope everyone enjoyed this beautiful Saturday!!
Happy Easter!

Here's another Winnie the Pooh themed cake!

Hi Everyone!

I hope you all have been enjoying this wonderful spring weather! I have welcomed it with open arms but, my sinuses have not been so welcoming to this spring weather. I think I am finally on the mend to feeling better. Here is the Winnie the Pooh cake that I have been working on this week!  And as most of you know I include an outfit in my 12" cakes and I found the cutest outfit for this cake and I just had to share a picture of it! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
