LIKE WHAT YOU SEE?

Hi Everyone!

If you like what you see so far, please feel free to follow my page.

Interested in a cake or even having a blanket done?? 

Feel free to email me at delightfulturtle@yahoo.com

The cost of the cakes depends on the design and the type of diapers you would like. I have done cakes in all types of diapers from name brand to generic.

Taking a break from diapers

I absolutely love making diaper cakes because I find them fun to shop for and put eveything together to make one large gift that the expecting mother can enjoy and use. However, when the holidays were fast approaching, I took a break from making diaper cakes. The craft time switched to making blankets for Christmas. I ended up making about 5 blankets in a matter of 2.5 weeks. Below are the blankets that were made as gifts for Christmas. Enjoy!

In addition...

In addition for the cakes, I have also made 2 blankets for kids (one a baby shower that went with a diaper cake in the previous post and another that I had been holding on for a couple of months).

 This pink and white bubble one, I made for a little girl.

This one was made for Conner. It went along with yellow diaper cake in the previous post. It was one of the 1st blankets made in the month of December.

The Next 2 Cakes

 As the story continues, the next 2 cakes I made were just basic multi-tier cakes. The yellow one the right is the tallest one that I made so far. These were both gifts... one for a lady at my mom's work and one for a friend of mine from college.

Once I got the hang of making the layers, the easier and more fun the cakes became. Every cake is similar, yet just a little different. Never did I imagine that this design would change all over a simple little suggestion and example photos that I found online.

The Beginning...

Hello Everyone!

I'm finally getting around to updating my blog. I'm sure most of you are wondering how this all got started, so I will start out with the story from the beginning.

Well  it all started about a year and a half ago when I was invited to a baby shower. I wanted to make something special because as you all know buying gifts for baby showers can be really expensive for one gift. Plus, there is always that chance that you will end up getting the same gift as someone else. I'm sure you all know that feeling.

I decided to attempt a basic diaper cake after seeing it somewhere and looking up instructions online. As you can see below... it wasn't terrible.

I was not happy with just taking this to the baby shower, so I also got ambitious and made my 1st no-sew blanket. Definitely loved the baby animal print, which made it difficult to give as a gift. I'm sure glad I did though! I made it large so it could be used for many years, the baby could grow with it.

The blanket turned out to be a huge hit! It was even used by great grandma when holding the baby. Come to find out, it was the only blanket used on a regular basis. So glad it was being used!!!

Well, the story continues with making cakes for other baby showers as gift, since everyone seemed to be having babies. However, the cake design has evolved as time goes on as well. I will post more pictures and info later, so you can all see how they look now. :)
