Looking for a hip baby shower gift, but not sure what to get?  Get that mod mom a chic Smiling Girl Designs Diaper Cake!  

This black and white cake is for an Evansville, IN mommy-to-be/interior designer.  I was told black and white and we added a pop of red which really makes it stand out!  This is actually a red collared onesie (OH MY, the cuteness is overwhelming!).  The Zebra is a Mary Meyer 'Pufferbellies'.  I was really happy with this way this cake turned out...ultra chic for the mommy-to-be!

The green and brown cake is for another fashion-forward mommy-to-be.  The shower theme is greens and browns.  One of my good friends had this cake made for her sister in law's baby shower and plans to use it as her table centerpiece.  The blankets are from the mommy-to-be's registry and the onesie matched perfectly (all Carter's brand products!)  Love this!  So simple and elegant.  :)

Way Out West!

This cake traveled all the way to Denver to make an appearance at a baby shower.  I was really excited about this cake, as it was the first (almost) cross-country SGD cake order.  This is a large 3 tier cake with a 3 piece outfit, pacifer and Baby Gund Lamb rattle. 

The shower is for a mommy who is expecting a girl and my instructions were to make it girlie.  She likes pinks, yellows and browns.  This cake has everything girlie!  Butterflies, cupcakes and a lot of pink!

So sweet and I cannot wait to hear how the shower went.

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.  :)  

Packaged up with a Smile

I would suggest the Large 3 Tier cake size to anyone who asks!   It is truly stunning and my favorite cake size!   I love them all but this one just hits me a little differently. :)

This one is being shipped to North Carolina in transit to new parents who welcomed their baby girl into the world earlier this week.  I think they will love it!  The Large 3 Tier cake has 90 diapers which should last them well over a week and a half.  I used my favorite bear again...it is so soft and sweet.   

This month, my husband and I have packaged and shipped 6 cakes around the country!  Virginia, Texas, Florida, Colorado and now North Carolina!   Ah, the wonders of Social Media Marketing.  :)   It thrills me to know that my company is going to be receiving exposure at baby showers around the country and humbles me to know I am helping create something for a new/expecting mother that she will always remember.  A gift she will love.

SGD has been something I have been able to use as my creative outlet...I really enjoy designing each cake and bringing a smile to client's faces when they see it for the first time.  :)  I also love all of the support my husband has given me since I started SGD...from designing my business cards and website to finding shipping boxes and helping out with the 'man stuff' side of the business.  :)  

Thanks for all of the support everyone, it means the world to me!

New Site and a New Cake

Wow, a new look to my site.  I really love it!!  I walked downstairs last Saturday to see what my husband, Basili, was up to.  He was working on designing a new, clean look for my website!  :)  TA DA!

He is so patient with me and is my perfect match (I know, BLAH!  haha).  Being the perfectionist I am, there were lots of little tweaks here and there, but he made it better than I had envisioned! 

Shameless plug time!!!!   If you need a website designed or new logo for your company, I will be happy to put you in touch with my husband or you can check out his website and send him an email.  :) 

One of the cakes I made this weekend was for a girl I grew up with/was in youth groups/choirs with at church.  She saw my cakes on Facebook and submitted an order.  I was so excited to hear from her again after all these years!  She requested a girlie cake with a red and pink color scheme.  I have seen a lot of this color combination lately...the lady bug theme is the 'cute bug' nursery theme of the season.  I knew I had to use it, they are just so darn cute!  I paired the lady bug ribbon and the lady bug blanket flower together with some bright pinks to really set it off...I just love this!

I am shipping this to the mommy to be in Florida, so unfortunately, my friend won't be able to see it in person...but she loved the photo!  :)

Have a great Saturday!

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!  :)
