Oriole's & Raven's Diaper Cake

This past weekend my cousin and his wife were surprised by their families with a baby shower. Baby Brody is due November 10th!! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend the shower because of Missy's wedding [If you're reading this CONGRATS Mrs. Mattern!!!]. To make up for my absence I sent a Diaper Cake to the shower for the parents-to-be.

This is my first Diaper Cake but I'm really happy with the way it turned out. My cousin and his wife decided on a sports theme for the nursery and my cousin is a Baltimore sports fan so I thought it would only be appropriate to do a sports themed Diaper Cake. From what I hear, you typically use a bottle of bath soap or lotion in the center but I opted to use a bottle of the mother-to-be's favorite wine. I think it'll be a nice surprise for her!!

I hand-made the footballs and Oriole Birds.

I also painted the wooden B to match the cake.


And since I put so much work into the Diaper Cake I had to include a hand-made card.

If you know me and you know anyone expecting... I'd love to make a Diaper Cake for you.

Enjoy, Amanda
