Creative Cakes By Theresa - Review and Giveaway (CLOSED)

**CLOSED** Have you ever watched any of those baby shows on TV? When I was pregnant, I used to watch them constantly! One of the things I remember seeing quite often, was a diaper cake at the mother-to-be's baby shower. I always thought they were a fantastic idea, and wished someone had made one for me. My youngest may be 6 months old, but I got my wish... thanks to Creative Cakes By Theresa!

Theresa sent us a beautiful diaper cake to review. When it arrived, I was extremely anxious to open the box. I suppose the excitement was slightly high! Of course, I didn't pause for a second. I peeled back the tape and revealed an adorable two layer diaper cake; bold colors just screaming at me!

Initially, the diaper cake was wrapped in a clear cellophane bag, and tied with a multi-toned orange ribbon. I tried to get a photo of the diaper cake wrapped up in the cellophane, but, it's one of those things that look great in person, but terrible when photographed.

I spent a few moments, admiring every detail, as well as the wonderful goodies that were bundled inside. Quickly, my eyes bounced from diapers, to baby shampoo, to baby lotion, to wash cloths...ending with the topper. An oh so cute rubber ducky that also doubles as a bath thermometer, as the bottom changes color if the water is to hot for your little one.

While the diaper cake is a bit slanted in the photo, I don't believe this to be Theresa's fault. Instead of the carrier placing the box right side up (like a normal person would), he tossed it on my porch with little regard as to what may be contained inside. This left the cake laying on it's side. Some people just aren't qualified to deliver mail (but that's a whole different post entirely).

I really dislike when packages arrive like that, but in this case, it shows how sturdy the diaper cake is. It may have ended up slightly off balance, but it stayed together! Besides, it takes all of 2 seconds to reposition the top tier. Just scooch it over a tad.

Take a look at the photo below. You can really see all of the great items she included in this cake. Notice the color explosion. I love that! I'm all about vibrant colors.

One thing I want to mention is that some of the ribbon is held down with pins. Not a problem, but be sure you inspect each diaper before using them on your little one(s). It's better to be safe then sorry,

I think we're all pretty familiar with the baby wash and baby lotion that she used. Johnson and Johnson products have been around for quite some time. What we may not be familiar with, is her choice in wash cloths. For me, this is a moderately important thing to look over, as harsh materials can irritate a baby's skin (as well as an adults). I wanted to know that if I were purchasing this diaper cake, that I would be getting quality.

I can honestly say, "no, these wash cloths are not cheaply made". Now, you obviously can't feel them from where you're sitting, but, I am able to give you the next best thing. A close up photo of 2 of the wash cloths. Can you see how soft they are? And how cute is that duck?!

I gotta tell you... diaper cakes are all I had hoped they'd be. Theresa does an amazing job, and really shows her creativity. Not only does she make a wide variety of diaper cakes for baby showers and gifts, but she does towel cakes too! These are a more "grown up" variation of the diaper cake, and come with more "grown up" options.

One of the coolest ones I saw on her website, was a towel cake with 2 champagne flutes and a bottle of sparkling grape juice! Perfect for a wedding! This cake includes:

• 2 Towels
• 2 wash clothes
• 2 champagne glasses
• 1 hand towel
• 1 candle
• 1 garter
• 1 bottle of white sparking grape juice

Buy it now for only $82! A perfect gift for any bride to be!
