This diaper cake was done for my best customer! One of my favorite coworkers mentioned she'd made some baby blankets for two babies that friends of hers have coming soon, one boy and one girl. She made one green camo and one pink camo. Now I usually make edible cakes for her but my wheels were turning in a different direction. So I just threw out there that I'd love to make her matching diaper cakes! She loved the idea and from it came this diaper cake. I completely forgot to take a picture of the green one as I was on a pretty tight schedule. I agreed to make them Thursday evening at work to be completed by Friday evening. So I ran around Friday trying to find things to match the idea in my mind. I remembered that I had seen pink and green camo tissue paper. I combined that with basket filler, ribbon and diapers of course. Now ideally I had wanted to buy a plush duck for the girls diaper cake and deer for the boys diaper cake, as both sets of parents are big on hunting. I couldn't find any that weren't totally mismatching the theme so I went to my favorite rubber duck bin at my super Walmart and much to my surprise they had multiple pink and green rubber ducks with none other than camo print on their bellies, wings, and back! I bought a serving tray for one cake and the chips and dip tray for the girls diaper cake. I needed a base anyway and thought it'd be a lot cooler to have something to use when all the diapers are gone! When it was all finished i put them in cellophane bags, tied bows around them and viola!
