I've had several people talk about ways to branch out from the diaper cake theme. It's a lot of fun to work on new creations, but as with anything new there is an initial investment. Fortunately with this endeavor, anything I don't sell, I can give as gifts or use myself. Glad I didn't stick with my original idea of a cupcake business, I'd be eating way too many cupcakes. :) This is lots less messier, more useful and zero calories!
So here goes with the new stuff... Hope you like. As always, I'm open to new ideas and trying out other creations.
My first towel cake (I know the green background is kinda distracting; sorry). I had a $5 gift card to Kohls so I ran in there to get this set. My next stop was the beloved Hobby Lobby for the ribbon and flowers. I couldn't pass up the sweet frame. From what I've seen, these are typically used as centerpieces at a bridal shower (like on the gift table). I love the idea of these monogrammed. We got monogrammed towels for our wedding and they have come in handy several times when we've had to take our own towels somewhere; we know they are ours!
This one is more like a gift basket. So many themes; spa, thank you, teacher appreciation, thinking of you. I'm looking forward to making them in kid-friendly themes; like princess, cars, dinosaurs, etc. Really you can add as much or as little to the top, wrap a cute ribbon & viola! Instant cute & functional gift! It's kinda like a gift bag full of stuff, but in a nicer presentation.
"Not-so Yummy, But oh so Sweet!" These lil goodies are just a washcloth wrapped around 3 diapers, wrapped around a sock all tied with a ribbon and bow X 4 and put in a pastry box. Something that would be super easy to stick in the mail or nice to display at the cake table at a shower.
"Hat Full 'O Fun" This doesn't have a diaper in it, but would probably be a nice addition on the top of a tiered- cake. I think it's a nice gift by itself though. Inside the baby hat is shampoo and lotion and a Jennie-original flower creations (on the spoon is not my idea though). It is wrapped in a headband. I have some flower clips ordered so excited to see what that will look like.
Well, now that my husband's office resembles what it might look like if Hobby Lobby and Babies R Us combined, I'm ready to find some homes for these creations. Contact me to take one that's already made or to make a brand spankin' new one. Thanks for checking out my new stuff!
