Can I show off my nappy cakes?

[jacinda]

Look what my mum and I created last weekend. Nappy cakes! (Or diaper cakes if that's what you call them). One is for a family friend who delivered her baby girl when she was just 6 months pregnant. Baby is finally out of hospital now (and doing well), so she at last gets to have a baby shower. The other is for my cousin who is expecting her first baby (a boy) on August 1st.

I am soooooooooo stoked with how these turned out. We couldn't find any nice ribbons, so I said why don't we go buy some fabric and sew our own ribbons? I know....ME sewing! Who'd believe it :lol: I think I'll continue to do it this way every time now. The fabric really gives it an extra something.

The fabric on this one says "Save the Planet", "Go Green", "Recycle" etc. My cousin is very much into that kind of thing.

We kept them pretty simple. Nappy cakes are not common over here, so I don't think it would matter how we decorated them - everyone will be stoked anyway.

I'd never heard of diaper animals till you posted. I searched for them on the net and they look awesome! The instructions on how to make them however are not freely available, so I guess i'll just have to stick to nappy cakes.
