Lil' Baby Cakes diaper cake blog site.
So if you are looking for an alternative to the traditional cupcake, take a look at a jumbo cupcake pan. Each cake can easily serve at least 10 people and it provides a much better focal point for a birthday then the smaller individual cupcakes. As you can see I had no problem loading up each cak with plenty of candles to celebrate our girl's birthdays.
Have fun with this idea.
We've been busy putting together some new designs that will provide even more selection for our Lil' Baby Cakes visitors.

Today the March of Dimes is sponsoring their Walk for Babies activity throughout the country. My husband and I were able to participate in the Grand Blanc, Michigan walk. It was sobering to see how many families have been impacted by some form of birth defect as many walkers were wearing T-shirts remembering a baby by name and date of birth. Seeing those families made the walk that much more inspirational for me.
We received a flyer with some statistics on it:
In Michigan:
Expand this to the rest of the country and it's easy to see that many families are impacted by birth defects. The March of Dimes receives funding through donations and research grants. The bulk of the funds are used for research/prevention of premature birth and birth defects. The remaining key areas are congenital heart defects and autism.
Hopefully this post will reach some more folks unaware of the role the March of Dimes plays in preventing birth defects. You can read more about the walk at www.marchforbabies.org.
Got ambitious today and finally got serious about starting my Easter table decorations. I made the centerpiece with a colorful assortment of spring flowers using a bicycle shaped home accent piece. I added a little pink crinkle paper to the base and finished it off with a small Gund Easter Bunny.
Still have a way to go to finish everything but it's hard to get ambitious when it's freezing cold out here in Michigan!
Hope your week is going well and you are enjoying preparing for Easter.
In our continuing series we are highlighting fun facts about birth month for new babies. April obviously is the first full month of Spring and this year includes celebrating Easter. It's always fun to read these tidbits of information regarding a birth month so if you know someone who has either given birth this month, or is planning for the new ones' arrival later this month, please send them over to this link: Fun Facts About April Born Babies. As adults, it's also fun to read these facts and see if any of them apply if you, a friend, or family member, celebrates an April birthday.
I hope you enjoy reading this month's edition of facts.
I really enjoy designing these special holiday themes. As always, I welcome your feedback and opinion.
Happy Easter!
When your on the home stretch of your pregnancy it's easy to get overwhelmed with worry about the new baby. One "worry" is what to take to the hospital. On our blog you can read a two part post by Rachel sharing some great tips about what to pack for the hospital. I think you will find the information invaluable as Rachel works in the maternity ward so she knows first hand the kinds of things to bring (and also, what not to worry about). You can find it here: What to Pack for the Hospital--Part 1. The second part is also available. I hope you enjoy reading them and sharing the information.

We posted some fun facts about February born babies on our blog. February is the shortest month of the year so you would expect the fewest babies to be born this month. Even with the short month, there are still plenty of fun facts to know. Here are a couple of highlights:
Naturally, February born babies also share the celebration of Valentine's Day, Chinese new year, and black history month.
So if you are expecting your new baby to be born this month, head on over to our Lil Baby Cakes blog to read the rest of the Fun Facts about February Babies article.
