One of the more popular questions we get asked from time to time is how do we come up with new diaper cake designs. Well the truth of the matter is that the customer is our guide. For example, if someone knows exactly what they may want then it is our job to bring their idea to reality, a challenge we gladly welcome.
But as often times is the case, they usually have a color or theme in mind and then rely on our expertise to do the rest. Anything can serve as an inspiration, from an adorable outfit like the ladybug dress shown above or a fun invitation, a favorite place etc.
The best inspiration though, is the Mom to be herself. We earnestly try to get each diaper cake as personal as possible and for that we love to learn a little bit about the gift recipient. Answers to questions like what's her general style i.e is she modern or traditional ? Even the music she is listening to on her ipod can be an important design guide.
We are absolutely in our element when we get custom orders because we get a chance to try out new ideas and it allows for more customer interaction which is always great. We do afterall owe some of our most popular diaper cake lines to custom order requests. It was a memorable customer named Kristen who in October 2006 asked us to design a diaper cake to match the Mod Mom baby shower she was throwing for her sister. We bought a few of the Mod Mom items to observe and then decided to highlight the main features of this modern baby shower theme including the bold dots and the chic design.
Check out one of the many mod mom diaper cakes that resulted from Kristen's request.
