Daddy Doody Kits...and a Flash Sale!

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 Beachside Baby Cakes and check it out.

To thank all of the new Beachside Baby Cakes followers, I'm offering a 15% discount on all orders placed by 10pm EST Monday Evening! Visit my Etsy Store and use the code FLASH15 at checkout. This also applies to custom orders- I can make a diaper cake to fit any theme and budget!

Just a reminder, be sure to check out my last post and enter the Pregnancy Forum Giveaway to win some great prizes for new and/or expectant moms.

A Very Hungry Caterpillar Baby Shower

Handpainted Wall Hanging

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!

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!!

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 Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art's online store.

Love that fuzzy little caterpillar

Onesie "lollipops" and washcloth "candies"

This Diaper Cake (or something very similar) can be custom-ordered through my Etsy Shop.

I'll be posting more shower pics complete with Caterpillar-friendly recipes on my other blog, Baked by Beth. Check it out!

Featured on Living Locurto

This roundup is from one of my favorite blogs, Living Locurto. A few weeks ago, I noticed the post about the #LivingCreative 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...

My diaper babies! How Exciting! You definitely have to check out this  blog...I drool over just about everything Amy posts. Thanks, Amy, for including my little diaper babies. You made my day!

Welcome!

Welcome to the Beachside Baby Cakes Blog! 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.

5 Tier Diaper Cake

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.

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.

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.

Diaper Babies

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!

Daddy Doody Kit...part gag/part gift!

I invite you to check out what I've made so far- and check out what's for sale in my Etsy 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.

Check back soon to enter the Pregnancy Forum Baby Party Giveaway with prizes valued at $500. Entry is open August 12- September 10.
Enjoy, and please come again!
