My first diaper cake

My very first diaper cake. 

My co-worker and I made this cake for another colleague as a baby shower gift. She was expecting twins, hence the 2 duckies on the top. I do not remember the exact no. of diapers at each layer, but we used size 1 diapers box from Costco and we had a few left over. The bottom layer had approximately 36 diapers, the middle layer had 20 and the top layer had about 10. Again, I do not remember.

A wild wild gift wrap for the zoo birthday party

I hope you liked the Zoo animals cake I shared in the last post...

Well when I came back home after helping my friends make the cake, I was super psyched and felt that I was not DONE with the theme yet. So I decided to wrap the birthday boy's gifts to match with the party theme.

So? Does it fit well with the "Zoo" theme? Here's how I did it.

Zoo themed birthday cake!

This weekend I attended a special boy's Birthday Party at the Oakland Zoo. The mother of the 4 year old teamed up with a friend and made the cutest birthday cake. As her Facebook updates showed the progress of the cake, I got impatient, left office early and reached her house to help make the cake... I couldn't help it, I just had to. Even though I could only stay a short while, I contributed to the cake by making the giraffe and the snake.

Here is a picture of the finished cake.... Isn't it lovely!

Castle centerpieces

I made these centerpieces for a conference a few years ago...

In fact I made 24 of them...

Cake Centerpiece / Gift wrapping

I made this mock cake centerpiece as a prototype for a conference... but it's a beautiful gift wrapping idea... and it's very easy to put together.
