Diaper Cake Creation #6

This past week i had the honour of creating another diaper cake.  That makes 6 cakes so far.  I still really enjoy creating these little gifts for mommy & baby.  Each one is so different and yet so similar.  When mommy Laura gave me the idea for orange & teal, i have to admit my first reaction was...ok?  I do love both colours but i wasn't sure how i was going to put them together.  So i started dreaming and dreaming and then browsing craft stores, fabric shops and good ol' Walmart for ribbon, paper, lace & embellishments galore!  This was my first time using fabric lace for my design and i really love the outcome.  Who knew my local fabric store would now be my new 'one stop shop'?  They even have ribbon by the meter!  So needless to say, i bought my 3 year membership right away and now i'm set.  So friends...start having more babies!  Lol (just kidding)  Right now i only have one more diaper cake scheduled to be made.

Anyway, back to this creation...i am thrilled with the final product.  I wanted to keep a more 'vintage' feel since that is what i imagined with these colours.  You'll notice the little orange booties!  They are just gorgeous!  A good friend, Nicole Dawes, knitted these adorable booties and matching teddy ear hat (sadly, i forgot to take a photo of the hat).  I just love the booties so much and think they added the perfect touch to this cake.  All the mommies at the shower i hosted were oohing and aahing over these things.  So watch out Nicole, you might have some orders coming your way ;)

This cake was created for mommy Laura & baby Sasha.  Laura is such a dear friend.  One of those people you feel like you've known forever and you can completely be yourself around.  Just such a blessing!  I look forward to many mommy dates ;)  Oh and baby Sasha is just the cutest little bean.  I've had a few snuggles already and i can hardly wait for my next!
