SGD Cakes Make their Southern Debut!

 Small 2 tier cakes were the pick of the week last week.  We shipped out 3!  This first cake order came from a girl I went to Jr High/High School with who has moved to Virginia.  She had seen my cakes on Facebook and wanted to order one for her friend who just had her baby girl.  She wanted it to match the nursery so she sent me a photo.  The theme was bees and the color was yellow.  I loved this one, not only because it is adorable, but because it was like hitting the lottery when we found this bee sleeper...the lady bug seems to be the 'cute bug' trendthis year.  :)

The 2 cakes below were ordered for a double shower in Houston, Texas.  Both mommies are expecting boys.  To keep the cakes from looking identical, we kept one cake in blue and the other in green.  I really thought these were great and I cant wait to hear how the baby shower goes.  :)  

SGD Live on Indy Style TV!

'Elephant Safari' Diaper Cake
is available for just $60.00

What a truly exciting week this has been!  A week of preparation, nerves and fun!  A great friend of mine gave me the opportunity to appear on Indy Style TV a couple days ago, which is a live, hour long show which airs daily M-F here in Indianapolis.

I had an absolute blast while I was there.  It was very neat to go behind the scenes at the studio and meet the people who work at Channel 8 and of course, show off my diaper cakes.   :)

For the show, I wanted to create a variety of diaper cakes that I offer.  2-tiers to 4 tiers, I showed them all (I do make larger cakes, but I was afraid I would be hidden behind them!)  haha   I worked all week to carefully design and create these cakes.  A couple of them are different than any other cake I have made before...all of them turned out GREAT!

The Christmas cake and the large two tier girl cake I made for the show have already sold, but the others are up for grabs, send me an email if you are interested!  :)




Check out my segment if you haven't seen it already...I know I am a couple days late with my blog.  :)  

'Lil Soccer Superstar!

I was so excited to make this cake for one of my sorority sisters who lives in the Indianapolis area.  She was throwing a shower for a friend and wanted to decorate with a diaper cake from Smiling Girl Designs.  :)

The daddy-to-be loves soccer and the colors for the shower were lime green and blue.  This cake was super cute and I am sure it was a huge hit at the party! 

This 2 tier cake has 30 Pampers diapers, a Gund Plush Soccer Ball Rattle and a onesie. 

All Smiling Girl Designs cakes come wrapped in cellophane with coordinating bow.  A custom ingredient card for each cake is attached to the outside so the parents to be can see everything included in your beautiful gift! 

Thanks Katie!!  :)

Welcome Twins!

A good friend of mine wanted to give a special gift to her neighbors who are welcoming Twins in a couple weeks!  This was my first 'twins' cake and I absolutely loved the way it turned out!   Two adorable dogs hug the cake which is full of items for the baby boys.  2 football themed onesies, 2 pacifiers, a travel-size bottle of baby shampoo, 4 washclothes in the shape of roses, 4 diaper pin-stems, 50 Pampers size 1 diapers and 10 huggies size 1 diapers...PHEW!!! 

It was fun to make and a gift that is sure to be remembered forever.  :)

SGD For a Cause

This past week, I was asked to donate not 1 but 2 diaper cakes.  One for a United Way event Silent Auction which will be taking place next week and the other for a local Low-Cost Spay Neuter Clinic raffle which took place yesterday at the 1st Annual Jack o Lantern Jamboree.

It was so much fun to see people out and about enjoying the beautiful Fall day yesterday.  The Halloween/Fall Themed cake was adorable and went to a good home.  I heard the woman who won is going to be taking the cake to some new parents at the hospital this week (perfect timing!)

The second cake is themed 'Think Pink' in honor of  Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  This cake is my first large 2-tier cake and I LOVE the way this one turned out, it may be one of my favorites.

I am a sucker for a good cause so I really enjoyed being able to donate a couple of my cakes.  :)  The Telemon United Way event is this week, I am excited to see how everything goes!

It's a Small World

My boss was the first person to ask me to make a cake for her...the minute I started talking about making diaper cakes, she told me she wanted one for a baby shower she was throwing for her friends daughter at the lake where they go boating.  The mommy-to-be at the shower is someone I went to Jr. High and High School with...SMALL WORLD!   She is expecting a little boy in November and I am so excited for her.

The shower was a sailing/boating theme so I tried to stick with the theme of the event.  :)  I went out and found a few different items that had sailboats and teddy bear sailors...you wouldn't believe how hard those are to find at the beginning of Fall...sailing is generally a Spring theme, I guess.  :)  I found some great items for the cake.  A paci with a sailboat a couple of adorable outfits and a bib.  Where are the outfits? (I know you are wondering...)  They are the 'filling' inside of the cake!  The outfits were too large to put on the cake so I wrapped them up and put them inside.  The cake ended up a little larger width-wise and there are still the same amount of diapers.  It will give the mommy and daddy to be something to open at a later time.  I love surprises!!  AHHH the possibilities are endless.  Congratulations Liz!

New Cake for Sale!--Reduced Price!!

Colors?  Yes, Please!   I love bright, fun colors for kids!  The bugs on this cake are absolutely adorable!  One of them can be clipped to a car seat or stroller...the other two are easy to hold--all of them crinkle and are great for teething. 

I made this cake with 60 Pampers (size 1-2) diapers, wrapped it with bright, colorful ribbon and topped it with a fun yellow flower--all which complement the cute bugs!

If you are interested in purchasing this cake for someone, the cost is NOW $45.00.  Just let me know, the cake is wrapped and ready to go, today!

Keep smiling  :)

3 Tier Cake

I had an e-mail in my inbox this morning from a woman who is going in with her co-workers to purchase a diaper cake!  What a great idea!  She wanted a specific kind of diaper, which I absolutely loved working with...I love they way they look on the finished product too.  :)  We ended up using 2 layers of new born diapers and 1 layer of size 1 diapers, so the new mom will have a variety of sizes to use.  We customized this cake even further with a cute teddy bear and travel size toiletry items.

The 3 tier cakes start at $40.00 and include 60 diapers (your choice of size).  Items can be added a-la-carte and you can choose from onesies, socks, stuffed animal, toiletries (set of 5), 2 baby wash clothes, pacifier, bottle brush, flannel blanket, rattle, etc.  If you have another idea, just let me know and we will see about making it happen!

Tonight was a lot of fun, really enjoyed making this cake and I hope they love it as much as I do!  :)

Have a great night and keep Smiling.  :)
