Thanks BabyCupid!
great work !!!Beautiful cake!
Britty, It actually depends on where you purchase the diapers and how many ribbons, trims, and gifts you add on. For a bare bones, you’re looking at the cost of diapers and 3 (or 4 if you go that high) blankets…about $35-$50 depending on the quality. There are between 50 and 80 diapers, so the cost gives the recipient a week or so of diapers. A bare bones diaper/blankie only cake still looks fab and will make a great gift. You can use curly ribbon instead of wide, cheap instead of $! Thanks
If you don’t mind me asking, about how much does it usually cost to make one of thesE?
The music is “The Planets”, suite for orchestra and female chorus, Op 32 H125, Number 4, “Jupiter the Bringer of Peace” by Leonard Bernstein.
Thanks cowroll!
super duper cute!!!
Thanks kingshadow! You won’t be a beginner for too long…these are addictive!
I love your cake…. your presentation was great and made it easy to understand the methods for a new beginner
mrslovely, Thanks! Yeah, I know, crazy music; but they restrict you on what you can put up without copyrights, so I guess it’s good that you can shut the music off! : ) Have fun making your cakes!
It was awesome ,,, The music not so much! But iver all great job on your cake it looks nice.
Pause at 4:16 in the video. I agree, it’s hard to see, but study the way the blanket is folded. The outside corners are not folded so much as they are left at a point. The fold allows the ends to remain pointed. Pause the video at 4:19/20- you can see it better there. The blanket is going to be TIGHT to fit. Unless your blanket is larger than most you mat have enough room to tuck a straight edge. If not, just pin the two points and continue. Thanks on the colour choices, I love options!
Catina, I chose the colours for two reasons, One of those was the contrast they would provide on the tutorial. All in all it totally up to you which colours you chose. The best way to go is to try and match the colours to the decor of the baby’s room or the new mommy’s preference. There are SO many choices out there, I’m sure you’ll be able to come up with a design you love. Thanks for commenting!
FYI, I Love the colors on this cake, 2 bad all mine are for boys or else I would have used these same colors !!! And this is wear I am having the problem Fold the blanket on the diagonal, like do I fold it in half (into a triangle) and then fold the top over?
great instruction but the colors are a bit too much
lol, Muumuushuu! Oh my heck girl! I’m sorry you’re having such a hard time. It’s hard for me to know exactly where the problem is without being right there, but I *think* maybe that bottom layer might be a tad too big around. NO worries, either take out a diaper or like you did, just add a small gift in front of the gap. As far as a square, sure! It’s just a matter of making it that shape instead of round. Make each side equal and just keep en eye on those corners. Hope that helps! : )
Okay u are gonna kill me, cause I thought I had it but I just cant seem to get that bottom blanket, I ended up just leaving the space there and then covering it with a bib, It looked really cute but I would have loved to figure out that bottom blanket, One question what do u think could be used to make a square diaper cake or do u think that is impossible??
