2 Peas in a Pod - Diaper Cake and Cupcake Pics


Baby showers are my best business these days! I love it! I crafted a diaper cake and matching cupcake picks for a shower for twins next month. The theme is 2 peas in a pod. I love this color palate for babies. Don't you? Believe it or not, I have had people think my diaper cakes are real cakes, LOL. When I am carrying it, they always offer to help and look really worried that it might fall over. I guess that means they look as good as a real one. I'm smiling from ear to ear! 



This three tiered diaper cake is accented with ribbon from hobby lobby and a topper that matched the cupcake pics.

Cupcake Picks

I designed these picks with my Cricut Imagine machine. For some reason it would not cut the small peas icons after it expertly printed 30 images. I had to fussy cut each one out. I was HOT!!! But the Elizabeth crafts spring action fussy cut scissors really made the process painless. I have tendinitis in my hands and can't usually do all that maneuvering with scissors. I need to call Provo Craft to get the advanced calibration directions.
