Rockie's Work Shower

We had so much fun throwing Rockie a baby shower at work....she is so excited for the big day and it will be here really soon!! She is also going to be such a great mom! I didn't take any pictures of people on my camera :( but I did get some of the food and the diaper cake I made, which was so much fun!! Everyone gave the mom to be some great advice on parenthood, some funny and some serious....all I know is I need to have some cabbage laying around when the time comes...who knew??


Diaper Cake Recipe(in case someone would like to make one but doesn't know how!):

ingredients-
*54 pack of diapers(for two layers) you can really make it as big as you want but just make sure it is sturdy enough for the bottom layer to bare all the weight.
*rubber bands
*wide ribbon of choice
*white infant socks
*pacifiers, teethers, baby forks and spoons, small toys/rattles, etc.

directions-
*roll up diapers individually and place a rubber band around 3 rolled diapers. make a bunch of these bundles and place them together to form a circle
*when you have the size you want, make sure all the rubber bands are running across the middle of the diaper so your ribbon will cover the rubber bands all the way around the cake
*wrap ribbon around the cake and tie it pretty tight in a bow. If you are making a large cake, you may want to attach the ribbon all the way around and make sure to have a sturdy base under the cake.
*Make each layer the same way and stack them on top of each other, tying ribbon around each layer
*Turn white infant socks inside themselves to form a ball, or the "icing roses". place them around the cake in the notches at the base on each layer
*stick pacifiers, spoons, etc behind ribbon or for larger items, attach with twist ties. The heavier the items, the better the ribbon should be attached. My cake was pretty light so I only tied the ribbon around the cake and that's it
*to make a sock "bow", stack socks flat on top of each other and tie ribbon around the middle as tight as you can. Fan the socks out to form a bow shape
*Add any type of cake topper like a picture frame or stuffed animal

And you're done!
