Baby Shower

-At the shower-

here's my cake. didn't turn out proportionally correct! not bad for the first time- although i think it could've been worse, it def could've been better! i'll know what to change next time :)

i decided to give a "fruit flower arrangement" a try. it was def easy! i will be doing this again!
I just found a basket for the bottom. fill it with something heavy, then add floral foam. i used skewers for shishkabobs and added fruit. i used a cookie cutter for the pineapple and just used a tablespoon to scoop the cantalope. i tried to create an odd number of sticks that were the same. once i stuck them all in the floral foam and arranged to my hearts content, I then threw in some parlsey all over the bottom and between the fruit. wa-la.

my diaper cake. i can't throw a shower without doing one of these. just tie each diaper with a ribbon. combine them into separate layers- each one smaller. use some more ribbon to connect them together. then add little trinkets to it. i like to throw in bibs, shoes, books(under each layer), roll up parts of an outfit, ect....

  1. What a cute idea for a cake! It's better than I could have done. Okay so why haven't you told anyone about this blog? I see it's been a while since you've posted but I enjoyed looking at your creations. Oh my camera is a DSLR -Nikon D60. It's super nice and it cost a pretty penny so I'm trying to use it to my best potential! I love how you say that it was easy to make the birdy sling bags. Yeah right. I haven't tried but my sewing abilities are far less than yours. I'm amazed.
