Diaper cake for Elisabeth Hasselbeck on 'The View'. Wow - what an opportunity!


I am the owner of Cutie Patootie Diaper Cakes and my unique diaper cakes were discovered last year by some of the Huggies diaper people (Kimberly-Clark Corp).

They found my business online and it turns out that they were looking for a special gift for Elisabeth Hasselbeck who was preparing to leave the popular TV show 'The View' to go on maternity leave.

After discussing the options with me, Kimberly-Clark decided on a 5-tier custom Cutie Patootie diaper cake (They chose our Boyd's Ducky cake) for Elisabeth that would be given to her live during the TV show on ABC. Needless to say, I was beyond thrilled at this unexpected opportunity for some publicity.

But, as happens so often things went anything but smoothly. Elisabeth moved her departure date up by a full week and this didn't leave enough time to ship the extremely large and heavy diaper cake to ABC's studio in New York city.


Overnighting it was out of the question because it would have cost far more then the gift itself. So like any successful entrepreneur, I took matters into my own hands. My husband and I loaded the diaper cake into our car and went on a road trip from our home in Ohio to New York city!


We drove 9 hours straight and delivered the special gift personally. And like most entrepreneurs, we turned around and drove straight back home so as not to waste all of the profits on an overnight stay in NYC.

I was called on again a couple of weeks later to deliver a couple of cakes to celebrities in Chicago, which I also delivered in person. We have been fortunate enough to have our diaper cakes selected to be a part of many celebrity beneifts and auctions, too.


As you can see, Cutie Patootie Diaper Cakes does what ever it takes to make our customers happy!
