My sisters and I made this diaper cake for a baby shower for some good friends who are expecting their first baby. When I was expecting my son, my sister in law found some really fun cards for me, which I haven’t been able to find again anywhere. Which is unfortunate because I would love to get some more. The cards were pages from Sloane Tanen’s book Hatched!: The Big Push from Pregnancy to Motherhood. One of the cards is a playful take on the popular kids book Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown, with the caption reading “Goodnight moon, hello martini”. We used this card for our friends shower and decided to continue the theme of the card with the gift. Now our friends who are expecting are fans of pomtinis or pomegranate martinis so in the centre of the cake we put a bottle of vodka, and then along with that we put other little baby things in a bag, including the Goodnight Moon book with a little stuffed bunny and the other pomtini ingredients. Mommy won’t be enjoying them for a while yet of course but eventually she’ll be able to relax with a pomtini. It might be a little weird to give alcohol at a baby shower but they loved it and making diaper cakes is always fun too.

I have put a new print in the shop of three little otters. I am hoping to have another print up tonight so check out my etsy shop.
