welcome to hold the flour's blog!

this is our very first blog entry for hold the flour. yeah!

first a little about us. my mother and i created hold the flour a couple of years ago. my mom was making a lot of cakes (like this cutie to the left) for our friends who were having babies. and they were a big hit. you may have seen or heard of diaper cakes before--they are typically made with 75 to 100 disposable diapers and ribbons or little knickknacky stuff. but they seem like a rip off to us--a baby can go through those diapers in a week.

our cakes are 100% reusable and we think they are a great value for the money! (we like to think we are being green.) we tried to think of the essentials for new moms. you need a variety of blankets, burp cloths, cute outfits and of course something to snuggle with. and so the layette cake was born. (that is a ducky layette pictured above.)

from there we came up with all sorts of other great cake ideas--for every type of occasion. you'll have to go check them out on our website: http://www.holdtheflour.com

ok so this first post is about ten times longer than i thought it would be, but we hope that through this blog will be able to provide our readers with a lot of great information about our products, great gift ideas, baby and bridal showers, and more.


we would love to hear from you too! let us know what you think of our website: and this blog. and if you have any topics that you think we should talk about please let us know.
