Diaper Cake

I helped with the Baby Shower of 2 of my friends last week. They are both having little girls!! Here were my gifts!

One’s nursery is Purple and White to celebrate K-State.

 

The other nursery is Black, White and Yellow!

 

I wrapped each diaper individually and tied it, then tied them together in groups. 6 for the top, then 6 for the bottom..set up some more diapers and tied another 12 around the 6 for the bottom. Had a few left over that I just shoved in anywhere I could, which helped make it a little tighter! The “lollipops” are a washcloth rolled and tied, then I put the spoon on the back and wrapped some saran wrap over it and tied it. I also added a travel size baby powder, travel formulas for emergency, and a little rattle toy. In the past I’ve also included q-tips, nose bulb, clippers, thermometer, butt paste (which I personally prefer over desitin)..more little necessary stuff. But the price can add up quick! It was nice to make two, that way I could share cost between! I also always like to include a little goodie for the mom. After all.. she DESERVES it for all her hard work!! :D

Cake Class

Last month I took a cake class! Wilton II with a couple friends. It was a blast! We learned some different flowers each week out of Royal Icing, and learned to use the Color Flow Icing as well. The last week we learned the Basket Weave and Rope border on the cake and put all our flowers on it. Here's mine!

When I See an Elephant Fly!

I thought I had seen everything with the Cricut!! ..From cutting your own stamps, cutting fabric for iron-ons, and the 'Sure Cuts A Lot' computer download (that will cut any true-type font off your computer using your cricut machine, of course your scrapbook die cuts, and so much more until I saw this! Check this out!

Now I find that the (Scrapbook) Cricut Machine can also cut FONDANT for Cakes! I'm totally going to try this ..eventually..! Another thing to add to my list!

Cake Class!

Our cake class has been so much fun! Here is my last cake..for this class. I'll (we'll) take another one in a couple months. It's been a blast! I like this one the best of all that I've done..the Chocolate tastes SOOO much better too..maybe I'm just tired of the white cake and butter cream frosting..but maybe not! mmm....chocolate!

1st Cake

My friend and I are taking the Jo-Ann's Craft Store - Wilton Cake Decorating Class: Course 1, and it's been a ball so far! Here is my first cake. I didn't know what name to put on it, so of course I used Gideon's. He doesn't turn 2 till next month..and I'm sure I'll be making him another cake! Anyway. Here it is!
