Cory's baby shower
One of my co-workers is expecting her first child, and I thought it would be fun to throw her a shower. It was fun planning the surprise with the other office ladies. We were even able to get her husband to come. She was so shocked! I made my first diaper cake for the shower (thanks to Denise for her instructions). Well, really Brian and I made it. We needed two hands.
One of my co-workers thinks I need to start a business making these cakes. I took it as a compliment, but thought it would be hilarious. Then, as more people at work asked if I could make one for a shower they are going to, the wheels started spinning in my head . . . and I was thinking, hmm, maybe I should begin advertising. My dad has always told me I should start my own business selling hand-made stationary/cards/invitations, framed art, . . . and now diaper cakes. We'll see. For you regular blog-readers who see some of the pictures I post of my makings, what do you think? Should/could I start a business selling these things? These cakes would only really be sold to locals because they would be a logistical nightmare to transport far. Either way, I have 1 diaper cake order already for this summer :).
I also made some chocolate-covered strawberries

You and Brian are so both talented and the special occasions thing. You could both package your cooking skills and creativity and make some big bucks someday. I believe in it!
go for it mary! i've made one of those diaper cakes before and it was NOT as cute as yours. those strawberries look AMAZING!!!! i'd hire you!
I think you have talent too! You could always advertise some of your stuff on www.etsy.com and get your stuff out there! :-) i like the cake, very cute!
