@Merry- That is just so very wrong. And hilarious at the same time.

Disguising anything as cake that isn’t actually cake can only lead to disappointment.

DH once had a job that included lunch. One day the chef had nothing better to do, so he decided to make the help’s tuna salad lunch look like a layer cake. So here comes lunch looking like a beautiful layer cake. The help actually thinks they’re getting cake for lunch. Imagine the devastation upon biting into a piece, thinking it’s cake, only to find out it’s tuna fish. Even the most delicious tuna salad could not overcome that disadvantage.

Expectations people. Happiness is all about setting expectations.

@lunakitsch- Now what you did, I can see. Paying Babies R Us a hundred and fifty bucks? Not so much.

Maybe I’m just jealous of all the crafty peoples.

I actually just made a diaper cake for a shower that I hosted. I used rubber bands to roll up the diapers and taped the ribbon to itself, so all of the diapers are perfectly useable. I decided to go for the idea because I wanted a cute centerpiece and I thought this would be neater than buying one of those cheesy fan-out paper ones from the party store. Plus, it allowed me to express some creativity in how I dealt with the decorations.
