So....

So here are my idea/thoughts on my diaper cake and gift business. I am going to start with the diaper cake ideas first.

Diaper Cakes could come in three different sizes: small, medium and large. Small would be two layers and would cost between $30.00-$35.00. Medium would be three layers and would cost between $40.00-$45.00. Large would be four layer and would cost between $50.00-$55.00.

I have two different options to pick from either standard or personalized.
~~~The standard diaper cake would geared toward the gender of the baby and include diapers, 8 o.z. baby wash, 4 o.z. baby bottle, 2 paci, nail clippers, comb/brush grooming set, medicine dropper, teething ring, cold/hot teething ring, linking rings and diaper trash bags.
~~~The personalized diaper cake would be geared toward the specific gender of the baby and all materials would be gathered off the baby registry. The cake would include: diapers of choice, 8 o.z. baby wash of choice, 4 o.z. bottle of choice, 2 paci of choice, any small toys, medicine dropper, nail clippers, comb/brush grooming set, teething ring, linking rings, and diaper trash bags.

** If diaper choice is not provided I will either use Huggies, Pampers, or Luvs. If baby wash choice is not provided I will use Huggies.**
~~~If you are wanting a diaper cake I would need the following information: gender of baby, place mommy-to-be is registered, Person who placed the order contact information, date needed by (please allow two weeks) and any special requests.

Now you are asking why I am charging so much for a simple little diaper cake. Well truth be known I put anywhere from 8-10 hours buying materials, rolling the diapers and putting rubber bands around then all, and then making the cake itself to be perfect for the special little one.

Here are my ideas on the gift baskets. I can make a gift baskets for the following occassions right now: baby, house warming, birthday, wedding.
~~~ Baby: blue/pink/yellow/green pail with tub of wipes, bottles, clothing, toys, bottle brush and anything off mommy-to-be gift registry.
~~~ House Warming/Wedding: big collander with dish towels, measuring cups and spoons, different cooking spoons, salt/pepper holders, pot holders, and anything off gift registry.
~~~ Birthday: Age Theme- would need to know child's age on upcoming birthday and anything the child likes or dislikes or maybe allergic too.

**I am still working on the prices for the gift baskets but I will get back to you soon on how much the baskets would be. Of course each basket price may vary depending on how much time is put in and ideas are put together to make the basket prefect.


I am also working on making suckers to sell in buck or individually and also to put with the gift baskets and on the diaper cakes. I will go ahead and give the information to you but just know I do now have all the supplies yet that I need to make the suckers. When time comes to make suckers I will be making the following: baby- boy/girl/surprise, birthday, wedding.

Small suckers- .25 or 4/$1.00
Medium suckers- .50 or 4/$1.00
Large suckers- $1.00 each or 2/$2.00

Buck:
100 small- $25.00
50 medium-$30.00
25 large- $40.o0

So these are my ideas I would be more then happy to hear your ideas, thoughts, comments, suggestions, anything you want to say I am all ears.
