The most popular item at Beachside Baby Cakes is the "Daddy Doody Kit"- part gag, part gift. I give them to dads-to-be frequently, a) because it's funny (as is their reaction) and b) if the dad has to come to the baby shower he deserves a gift for being there! This kit is filled with new baby necessities as well as a few gag gifts for dad. Everything is useable- and I'm sure dad can find a way to reuse the pail as well! Head over to <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/107212146/daddy-doody-kit" target="_blank">Beachside Baby Cakes</a> and check it out. </div>

I was very honored to host a baby shower for my Brother and Sister-in-law (and their little caterpillar still in his cocoon). I wanted to throw a 'Build-a-Library' shower, and decided to stick with one book for the theme. This is a favorite at my house- my 5 year old "reads" it to anyone who will listen!<br />
<br />
I did most everything myself, from designing the invitation to baking the goodies as well as the diaper cake. Of course I made a diaper cake!!<br />
<br />

I had the best time planning this cake, and searching for just the right "ingredients". The Fuzzy caterpillar and the rattle were my favorite additions- I found them in the <a href="http://www.carlemuseum.org/Shop/" target="_blank">Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art's</a> online store.<br />

A few weeks ago, I noticed the post about the <a href="http://www.livinglocurto.com/2012/06/diy-creative-projects/" target="_blank">#LivingCreative</a> feature, and quickly uploaded a few of my photos via Instagram. I was surprised that Amy commented on a few- as she is a creative genius, and here I was uploading random pictures! So, imagine my surprise when I saw this post....and down in the bottom left hand corner...<br />

I decided to start this adventure after giving this diaper cake as a gift...and being asked by several people if I would make one for them to give as a gift.<br />

The best gifts I received as a new mom were the ones that were used in great quantity....Diapers, wipes, blankets, onsies etc. In my opinion, your stockpile of these items is never too big when you have a little person demanding your attention.<br />
<br />
These are also the gifts I enjoy giving, but wrapping up a box of diapers is boring. I started experimenting with diaper cakes- and I found the best of both worlds. A useful gift that still elicits the "ooohs and aahhhs" we all expect to hear at a baby shower.<br />
<br />
I've also found that smaller creations from these same "ingredients" are fun gifts for office baby showers or cute additions to your gift bag.<br />

Last but not least, I love the Daddy Doody Kits. These are part gag gift/part necessity as well! Dads are often left out of the baby shower excitement, and I enjoy embarassing them a bit. I made the first one of these for a good friend (same one that the above diaper cake went to), and it was the hit of the office baby shower. Even my manly boss got a kick out of it!<br />

I invite you to check out what I've made so far- and check out what's for sale in my <a href="http://craftymamab.etsy.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Etsy</a> shop. I do take custom orders, and can make a diaper cake to meet your specifications- big or small. Anything I already have listed on Etsy can be further customized with the add-on packages to include baby toys or bath products.<br />
