How to Make a Diaper Cake Centerpiece

How to Make a Diaper Cake Centerpiece
Diaper Cakes are becoming more popular for baby showers and newborn gift ideas. These cakes, which offer everything a new mom needs for her new bundle of joy, can make any baby shower unforgettable. Not only do they leave a lasting impression, but the new mother can use every item in the cake, from the blankets to the diapers, thus providing a fun and useful gift for the proud mom-to-be. You can make them a three layer to just a one layer depending on the size gift you want to send.

Here are top five tips to making a diaper cake.

1. Fill your cakes with items you know the mother will be using. Diapers and blankets we all know, but items like baby lotions, powder, hand sanitizer, nail clippers, bottom balm, or Vaseline. You may also include a bottlebrush, baby bottle, scratch mittens and so on.

2. Choose quality products when you can. I use Luvs diapers as they are bigger and make your cake more stable. Blanket size does matter. Keep that in mind when deciding on the size of your cake. For example, 7, 8, 10, or 12 29x29 will give you an 8" cake and 30 x 40 will give you an 12" cake, a burp cloth will give you an 7" (they have really cute and colorful burp clothes out now) for a 10" this size is in between so you can use a 30 x 40 and just bring in one end a little more to make it a 10".

3. Make sure you wrap cake as this will deter others form touching or moving items around. Use cellophane wrap or cellophane bags, or tulle. Use lots of curly ribbon makes your cakes look so pretty.

4. Have fun and create your own style everyone has their own. Themed cakes are very popular (Disney). Also if the sex of baby is unknown don't fear...mix it up a bit go with neutral colors. If you know the babies room color that is even better.

5. If your choosing this as a business-congrats. Making diaper cakes for a living is so much fun and very rewarding. A few starter tips are: Have professional pictures taken of your cakes. Use these as a portfolio and put them in a book for show and tell. Have business cards made up and brochures. Set your pricing. Tell everyone about your cakes. This is a great time to start because more then likely very few people have heard of a diaper cake so you get in on the ground floor.

Article Writing: Can it help my Online Store?

Question: My online store can’t make money unless I get traffic, but I can’t afford to keep buying advertising. What can I do? I feel so discouraged.
Signed, Lonely in my Store

Dear Lonely in my Store,
First of all, you are NOT doing anything wrong. Online businesses take time and can get frustrating, especially in the first year.

If your online store is lonely, and you’re watching the dust balls collect, waiting for traffic to come and buy, it’s easy to get discouraged. As soon as the advertising ends, so does your traffic - if you’re even getting any results from your advertising at all.

What if you could get visitors to your website - free? And, not only that, but the visitors keep coming for years? One of the best methods of generating traffic to your website is by writing and sharing articles. This is not ‘get rich quick’ and it’s not a scam. It’s just plain old fashioned marketing with a twist.

Now, even if you aren’t a writer, you can use this method of getting traffic. It doesn’t take a degree in Literature to succeed in article marketing. All it takes is a little time and energy. If you have that - you can get traffic to your website.

So, how does it work? Well, it’s working right now. Look at the bottom of this article and you’ll see … me. I didn’t pay for this advertising, but you’ll see a link to my website right there, plain as day, just for writing and sharing this article with website publishers.

It’s actually quite simple, and it is underused, especially in work at home mom businesses.

All you need to do is write a short, simple, helpful article about something related to your online store. If you sell makeup, then write an article about how to choose a foundation color, or how to care for your skin during the winter. Then, after you’ve written your article, you submit it to the article directories.

Article directories are libraries of free articles. They are collections of articles that website and blog owners can use on their sites for free. The only stipulation is that everyone who publishes your article must include your author bio at the end which is where you include your website URL and some fascinating information about your wonderful online store.

So, now that you see how simple this free method of generating traffic is, I hope you give it a try. You’ve got nothing to lose and much to gain.

BARB IRELAND, DIAPER CAKE DIVA,
REORGANIZES LUCRATIVE HOME BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY


A popular saying goes "When the going gets tough, the tough get going". Barb Ireland, leading Diaper and Towel Cake Expert and Founder of MADC ("Make A Diaper Cake") proves how true that is. Even in difficult economies, there have always been entrepreneurs who've turned money-struggle lemons into lemonade.

Barb is destined to be responsible for those who want to stretch their entrepreneurial wings get involved with a potentially profitable business to have a chance to realize their dreams.Knowing that the uppermost hesitation for those who want to make a go of a home business is the start-up and operating costs, she restructured and reorganized her Make A Diaper/TowelCake enterprise to allow for anyone interested in a work-at-home opportunity to do it.

For those unaware, a Diaper Cake is an amazingly creative assembly of diapers, blankets,bottles and other items for new moms and moms-to-be. What starts out looking like just an ordinary conglomeration of essential baby necessities turns out to take on the appearance of an incredibly attractive three-layer CAKE, and there's nothing quite like it!

In fact, the Cakes themselves take less time to construct than might surprise you - typically,just over an hour. Although this business can easily be run by one person, it is truly a relationship-building type venture with limitless possibility and explosive financial potential...a perfect family or family & friends home business!

The beauty of Barb's wonderful cakes is that they add special significance to celebrations like weddings, bridal showers, graduations, retirement events, christenings, Mother's/Father's Day, Fourth of July, Christmas and every one in between! Those with an Entrepreneurial spirit but not prepared to lay out great sums of money will find a host of cost-effective methods that don't require great sums of money while generating healthy profits.A published businesswoman, Ms. Ireland did her research, both from studying the marketplace and listening to people's concers. She found the market environment more than ready for this new kind of business and it became a profitable venture almost immediately! She then reorganized her business based on people's yearning for a potentially profitable business but anchored by deep concerns, mostly involving start-up costs. Budgets just couldn't handle high start-up costs and/or monthly membership fees demanded by so many. Taking a look at her own thriving business, Barb discovered that reorganizing the business wouldn't be as difficult as it first seemed! The product was already excellent and in demand.

Barb decided that in a tough economy women and men anxious to own a business might not be able to afford $25, $50 or more in monthly fees but a nominal $14.95 was a very reasonable business investment - but she wanted to create excitment and momentum so she didn't stop there. For the first 3 months, she's charging a very low $6.95 a month for a Membership that includes training, complete step-by-step instructions, personalized support, full-fledged marketing assistance plus a recent value add-on, how to make your own bath and body products for both the Diaper and Towel cakes! She even negotiated with a professional copywriter to offer services at extremely reasonable prices for those who want additional exposure for their own original ad campaigns.

She also recognized those who may not be interested in building a business, but could well be termed classified dedicated crafters who'd like to know how to create a cake and made provisions for them, as well, through her video and ebook.

For Fun or Profit, come visit The Diaper Cake! Discovering an exciting life-changing new business that can be started immediately, despite our economic climate if for no other reason than no matter what the financial environment, we all always want to celebrate the events of our lives! The Diaper Cake experience is one such opportunity with a built-in, ready-to-service audience always hungry for originality and Barb is ready to point you in the right directions!
