From crafty gift ideas to innovative small business functions, Make A Diaper Cake is the perfect choice.
Established in 2004, Make A Diaper Cake (MADC), based in Waukegan, Illinois, has thrived on the assembly of the traditional “diaper cake” – an interesting arrangement of cloth diapers, baby toys, and a collaboration of other baby must-haves. Diaper cakes have proven to be the highlight of baby showers and parties, and tend to be a wonderfully unique gift to welcome a new baby’s arrival, providing not only a beautiful gift, but a wonderful conversation piece in a gathering of friends and family.
Barb Ireland, owner of MADC, has taken the diaper cake a step further, offering “cakes” for virtually any occasion. Through some amazingly creative assemblies and hours of experimentation, Ireland has created designs to impress and amaze individuals looking for an extremely special gift for a variety of occasions. A “cake” is a piece to impress the individual receiving the gift, and without words, expresses how very special the recipient is to the giver.
Through her unique and easy-to-follow book ,Diaper Cake Know How, Ireland provides detailed instructions with photos on how to assemble a cake. She also states a special sense of creativity in her unique design, which she shares in the book, and through a paid membership that details her various special occasion creations, on the Make A Diaper Cake web site. The ebook and the membership are available for purchase at MakeADiaperCake.biz for $44.95. A printed, spiral-bound version of the book is available at Café Press at http://www.cafepress.com/madcinc.
After mastering the technique of creating a “cake,” Ireland offers several variations of this traditional baby gift, providing the option of creating cakes for virtually any occasion. This allows the opportunity to make gifts for any holiday, birthday, or gift-giving event. A Spa Cake is a wonderful Mother’s Day or special occasion gift, for example, and a Housewarming Cake makes a gorgeous gift for the new home owner. Choose a Christmas Cake for a family member or friend during the winter holiday season, or a Honeymoon Bliss Cake for a personal wedding shower surprise. “Cakes” can also be assembled for any holiday, such as Halloween or Independence Day, and make wonderful hostess gifts. A “cake” makes an excellent pick-me-up as well. Use a Get Well Cake for a friend in the
hospital, or a Chocolate Lover’s Cake for a friend who needs a smile. “Cakes” can be assembled for almost any occasion with nearly any theme for a truly special, personalized gift.
Make A Diaper Cake is unique with their assembly ideas for gifts, but even more uniquely, Ireland also provides resources with a MADC membership that are needed for starting a business making “cakes” for all occasions. Through her members-only web site, she offers valuable information on how to start a business, market products, obtain “cake fillers,” finding wholesale items. She also provides business tips, personalized support, information on creating new items, such as Diaper Wreaths, and much more.
