My first Diaper Cake

Last night was my best friend's, (Suzanne) baby shower! She is about 2 months ahead of me and will have a little one in the next few weeks. (We are crossing our fingers!) I wanted to do something fun for her shower and got the idea to make her a diaper cake! I have seen other diaper cakes at past showers and on the internet. I was a little worried about how it would turn out, but with only a few bumps in the process, I thought it turned out pretty dang cute! I learned a few things along the way and now I want to make another one and see if I can polish my "skills"! Haha just kidding! Maybe I will have to make myself one! Haha!

First, I love the blog background looks great! Second, what a cute idea for a baby gift, I had never seen such a thing! And third, how fun is that, to have your best friend having a boy with you! Isn't it so fun! At least she gets to go through it all first and let you know how it goes.My best friend is having a girl the same week as me! So fun!

Thanks for the tips Alyse! I'll post a pic of my cake after the shower if I'm not too embarrassed by it :)

Hey Alyse! I don't know if you remember me very well from high school chamber choir, but I found your blog through Catherine's. You have such a cute pregnant tummy! I'm glad to hear that you are happily married and doing great! I hope all is well!
