I have made a couple of diaper cakes for my friends' baby showers over the past few months and have gotten a lot of compliments on them. Recently, people have been asking me to make them and have actually been paying me for it! So this really sparked my creative side and I think it would be so fun to start doing this on the side. They look great as center pieces on the gift or food table, as shown below. I have included pictures of 2 different diaper cakes I have made, so what do you think?
This first was the one I made for my friend Kristy's baby shower and how it looked on the table.
Both of these were for baby boy showers, and I haven't made a "girl" one yet but I would love to so if you know of someone that is having a girl please pass my info along! Thanks! (oh and I must give props to my friend Kate who initially gave me instructions on how to construct one of these! Thanks Kate!)

Um, AMAZING. So I won't be needing any diaper cakes soon but when I do....I'm calling you!
those look great whitney. and you wouldn't believe what some people charge for those things. i've seen them at swoozies and pear tree avenue for up to $100 before. good luck with it.
Ok please no Honeymoon baby! :)
Whitney..those are adorable! I need to learn how to make one. Hope you have an awesome time in Africa!
Hey Whitney! I just wanted to tell you that I love those diaper cakes. They are such a great idea, and so practical. Don't be afraid to charge a fair price (and do like Chris Anne suggested - price out what's being sold in retail). Finally, it might sound cheesy, but look into getting some inexpensive (but cute!) business cards. I have a little apron business which started similarly to your venture (made some for family and for a bridal shower, and it went on from there), and people started asking me if I could sew them some. Once I got business cards made, my orders went up considerably!
Good luck with the biz, and hope you are doing well!
