Diaper Cake

This is going to be a post of how to make a diaper cake. This is not the same kind of diaper cake you may be thinking of......I made one for my aunt and one for my uncle. This was for their 50th birthday. Because they are so "old" I made a depends diaper cake!

 
First you need to get all your supplies. I got some things that I thought a "old" person would need. Depends(wal-mart brand), Fiber One Bars, Preparation H pads, wet wipes, pill case, laxatives, Pain cream, Fiber chewies, anti-diarrhea medication, denture cream, and purell. You also need 3 big rubber bands, any color ribbon (I chose black) and a cake stand.
 
Once you get all your supplies you are ready to go. You take out your depends and roll them the same way you would a baby diaper cake. They are just bigger and bulkier. Once you do the bigger layer wrap 2 rubber bands around that layer and wrap the ribbon around the rubber bands. Then start on the next layer. Do the same thing only make this layer smaller so it can stack on top. Once you got that done you can add the accessories!  I like to dress things up so this was the fun part for me.
 

 
The top one is for my aunt and the bottom one is for my uncle. I was so excited of how they turned out and was excited for them to get their cake!
 
This is how it went when I gave it to them.....My aunt thought it was funny and the whole family had a good laugh about it. When I gave my uncle his he was not to impressed. I think he was a little embarrassed about it all but he did like it.
 
This is my nephew, my uncle and me. I am surprised that he took a picture with the cake :)
 
When all was said and done he gave me the cake back to use for the next "old" person to have a birthday in the family.

Happy New Year!!

Welcome 2013!!! I am so happy to see you because 2012 mostly sucked. I could sit here and type out all the things that sucked about the year but I don't want to get into all of that. I will point out some of the good things!
~ We got a new 2013 Ford Escape
~We got to see two very good friends get married in July
~We got to get away for the weekend and see some of my Internet friends
This is just to name a few. I am so looking forward to the new year and growing closer to my family and friends.

This year I am not going to make my regular new years resolution.(You know loose weight and work out like everyday oh and have a baby....that is still on my list) I am doing it a little different this year. I am wanting to get healthier and I want to learn to say "NO" I mean I know how to say no but I want to practice it in my everyday life by taking time for me and not taking on so much. I also want to try to blog more I know I have said that before but it makes me feel good to blog and this year I am about loving life more. And taking it day buy day.

I hope all of you have a Happy New Year!!
