Baby Shower Blanket Cake--A Fun Diaper Cake Alternative!

There is something in the water because both Aunt "Buhlissa" and Aunt Christina are expecting little boys very soon!  It was fun to celebrate with Aunt Melissa at her shower a few weekends ago.  I wanted to do a diaper cake for her (it was one of my favorite things from Charlotte's shower) but she isn't using disposables...but it turns out that any ol' baby gift can be made to look like a cake!                               
It was a very fun centerpiece as guests arrived!
I loved these shoes...for a second I wanted a little boy so he could wear them.  But only for a second.
The girls made edible bird nests as favors (the nursery is woodland-creature themed!  so cute!).  It was the messiest craft EVER.  I do not recommend it.  They loved having a part in the baby shower preparations, though!

Jen, the "cake" was SO cute and I really didn't want to dismantle it (but I had to - we have no other baby blankets right now!), I'm so glad you took a picture of it. Now Baby and Daddy can match since Bobby has shoes just like these! Thank you!

I really love the booties idea on your diaper cake.
