Good Morning All!

Wow, when i miss a day, there sure is lots to read.

Don't fret Betty! The most time will be to go shopping. Woohoo, have fun with that.
Here are the ingredients and directions: I can walk you through if you need help.

Baby Cake Ingredients

2 hooded baby towels 1 Winnie the Pooh teddy bear
*4 receiving blankets 1 Wooden teether/rattle
*1 comb & brush set *2 infant feeding spoons
*1 binkies & 1 holder *1 Toddler Spoon & fork set
*1 toothbrushes 1 hat
1 books 4 sets of protective mits
4 sippie cups *8 sets of infant socks
*1 bottle 1 Peter Rabbit rattle
1 horse rattle 1 coozie blankie
2 bibs *1 bottle brush
**84 Pampers

“Baking” the Cake

Divide 84 diapers into three sections.

I *'d the basics.
However for the 3 tiered cake you will want to add other pieces.

Roll the first from bottom to top,
Add second around first and so on,
Pretty soon you will notice that the diapers will fit
End to end you just keep adding until a large disc is formed.

You will use the rubberbands to hold the forms as you add.
I use three different sizes. This will seem loose but you will add
To the bottoms tiers a few at a time, until desired size. Also,
The blankets will hold the final form together.

All three layers-you will need 2 bands, one at top and one at bottom
These are what holds the r-blankets in place.

Hint: The top layer, roll around a bottle and rubberband then continue.
-Also, the top layer should only be wide enough for one receiving blanket to
fit around it with an overlap.

Second layer, should also be wrapped by one receiving blanket
with only a slight overlap.

Third layer will use 2 r-blankets end to end.

Ok, the mits and socks are used as flowerettes.
Stick 2 fingers in and grab end of sock and mitt and pull until
You reach the end. It resembles a flower. these are used to decorate
The plate and anywhere there is a need for something. Just tuck them in
All the other pieces are inserted in and around the cake.

The Plate is made of a piece of cardboard I cut to size of bottom layer.
Usually I add a piece of paper, plain white or you can use baby wrapping paper.

All ingredients for this cake were used-the cake was loaded but
Turned out to be one of my best.

How much you add will be up to you.

Have loads of fun making and just ask if you need help.
I take about a week to make them just because things get shifted
All the time.
