So, this is the diaper cake...

I created this diaper cake for a baby shower this Saturday.  I've seen many of them on the web, but have never tried to make one before.  I will post some urls of blogs I visited to get inspiration at the bottom of this post.  My sweet, sweet son took before and after pictures for me to post.  So, here goes.  

This is a picture of the plain cake:




Now, here it is iced with the Cricut:

   The paper is from DCWV Stack 7 and Recollections white card stock.  The flowers are from Prima and the silver cord is plastic canvas cording from DMC.   There's my stork I posted a few days ago.  The white "icing" pattern is from StoryBook.  It is one of the border cuts.  I welded two together and made them 4 1/4 inches by 11 1/2 inches long.  They are glued on 4 inch strips of blue paper before I wrapped the layers.

I hope you like it.  Please leave a comment if you have time.    Thanks for taking a peek.
