Tell us a little about you . . . My name is Wendy and I am a stay at home Mommy of 2 wonderful children, Bruce (turns 6 today!), and Brooke-Lynn, who will be 2 in January. I started making diaper cakes in 2007 when I received one at my baby shower. It was the best gift I got, and I have learned, the more diapers the better! This is why my cakes have so many more diapers than you will find on a typical diaper cake, all while costing less and with free shipping! I also have baby shower favors, such as washcloth lollipops, washcloth butterflies, diaper purses and other gifts, and every time a new request is made, it is another thing added to my website. I love custom orders!
What is your business and where can we find it? Diaper Cakes by Wendy. I currently have no physical store, but would love to some day! You can find me online at http://www.diapercakesbywendy.com/.
Is it mom-owned, invented, created . . .? Yes, it is Mom owned, and I do all this on my own. I make everything after it is ordered, this way you can get it just the way you want it!
A little about your entrepreneur journey so far? It definitely started off very slow, I was only making diaper cakes when I started, but so were hundreds of other people, so I got nowhere. But I did not give up and my husband would not let me, he thought I had something good! So I kept on and tried different ways of making diaper cakes. I tried them on eBay, locally, in gift shops, and at the flea market with no luck at all. Finally it dawned on me that I needed something inexpensive to attract buyers. So this is where the mini diaper cake came from. I was the first person to make a true mini diaper cake, as back then, all mini cakes were actually large one tiered cakes. I made them with just 8 diapers and priced them low. I finally had some luck and was selling them good until everyone else started making them too. But by then I had attracted enough attention to my larger cakes that it didn't matter. Now, I have over 25 different baby shower gifts and favors. I don't quiet make enough to survive on yet, but I am hoping to get there eventually! I just started craft shows and right now am doing one per month, so I am hoping it becomes profitable too!
Where else can people find you? You can find me anywhere! My blog is http://sassy8722.blogspot.com
Twitter ID is Sassy8722
Flicker is DiaperCakesByWendy
And various other sites, my main user name is Sassy8722 you can find a lot on me if you just Google that! :-)
Anything else you’d like to share? I absolutely love what I do with a passion. Being a Mom of 2, I know what to use and what not to use on babies. I never use store brand diapers, I use Luvs on every item I make. I use high quality washcloths on the favors as well, nothing from the Dollar Store. I guarantee you will not find a better value anywhere else on high quality work with high quality items. I can make any theme or colors, so if you don’t see what you want, just ask! Thank you SO much!

oh wow, I would love to win. My friend JUST had a little boy (her first one) and I love the idea of diaper cakes...so I'm sure she'd appreciate it.
I really like that she has baby shower favors too.

I would love to win one of these diaper cakes for by brother. His first son in due in a couple months.
My sister is due soon, and her baby shower is coming up. Her theme for the room is turtles and light greens so this would be absolutely perfect!
The mini diaper cakes for showers are a great idea! I know from experience what a pain it is to make your own three tiered diaper cake,and to have it ship without movement. Happily leave it in someone else's hand!
I would love this for my friend who just had a baby girl.

This cake looks very nice and cute. Gratitude for sharing these ideas here. I also have been looking for the easy and cute theme inspirations for my sister in law’s baby shower. Recently it has become chaotic for me to find budget friendly San Francisco venues. It will be great if anyone here can provide the suggestions.
