Piece of cake

Stuck for a gift idea for a brand new mama? Ever thought of baking a diaper cake? These cloth concoctions give a whole new meaning to the concept of ‘edible undies’. Diaper Cakewalk is just one of many companies who are cornering the baby shower market with their ornate cake style designs made entirely out of what we in the UK call ‘nappies’. You can choose their pound cakes, diaper-only cakes, boy or girl cakes, or even a diaper castle. Diaper cakes are not only a great conversation piece but they’re just as eye-catching and certainly a lot more practical than a bunch of flowers. Tuck in at Diaper Cakewalk.

Puffed up

There is nothing warmer or more weather-resistant than the puffa jacket which once again the fash pack has declared ‘hot’ for the cold season. But when the average skinny Minnie can resemble the Michelin man in a padded coat, what hope is there for someone who on a good day looks like she’s strapped a VW to her tummy? Well we’ve scoured the web and found this ultra-funky, sleek and mummy-friendly puffer coat by Motherhood Maternity. Available in black, sizes S-XL, this quilted three-quarter length coat comes with a detachable fake fur-trim hood and room to grow. Grab one while they last at Motherhood online store.
