A Diaper Cake - NOT Food!!

I know this blog is for my cake creations, but this particular creation was not made out of cake, but an excellent adaptation of my creations!!

Today we celebrated the future arrival of Baby Elias, and since an actual cake was not needed (already supplied), I created and crafted a diaper cake... made out of over 80 diapers, lots of string, thick ribbon, and monkey looking goodies, the cake stood 4 tiers high and smelled like a baby! :-) Her theme for the baby is monkeys, and so what better cake topper then the softest, snuggly monkey that lights up and sings Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

There were onesies with baby animals, and baby hats with animals... travel size baby essentials, Monkey neck rests for car seat straps, monkey and star rattles to hang from the seat, and in the empty diaper box a special monkey outfit and a blue Sing-a-ma-jig (if you havent seen one, i recommend you look it up, they are awesome).

So... not your typical Jeannie Cake... but I wanted to share regardless!! :-)
