Hehe.  As much as I would want to update the albums, my photos are in CDs in the office (for those of you who don't know, I moved down to another office and have taken on more responsibility at work, so I had to store all my photos on CDs when I did the transfer from my old PC to my new VAIO) and I haven't had time to edit them and transfer them to my new laptop. And because of that, inspite of the numerous requests from you to upload pictures of my other products, I haven't been able to do so.  Been super busy at work the past 6months.  Took 3 trips out of the country, then found out about the pregnancy right when things started to get uber busy at the office (we... http://thenappycakesshoppe.multiply.com/journal/item/21/NappyCakes_Update_JUNE_2008_ISSUE_VOL_1 Thu, 5 Jun 2008 07:45:00 -0000 NappyCakes Update: MAY 2008 ISSUE, VOL 2 note: I started this Update on May 20, but only finished writing it today, 01 June.  Bear with me. :D  Hi!  I apologize for not being able to reply to your queries as fast as I normally would, but I have been at home and in bed for the past 2 weeks (with the occasional meetings at the office and errands to run), and have not been able to log on to multiply as often as I would have wanted to.  Inspite of that fact, we have been uber-busy this past month, with Mother's Day orders and baby showers/ christenings that my also-pregnant nanny (yes, everyone is having babies! two of my cousins are having end-2008 babies too!) and I have been working overtime.  Alexa is learning the ropes of the business as well, helping us cut ribbons to the measure and preparing linens and essentials for the NappyCakes.

By Kathleen Kay Sy-Catral Kaye's typical day involves juggling roles being a full-time Brand Manager, a wife, a mother of 4-year-old Alexa Amber Rei, and managing her other baby, NappyCakes, which may look familiar because they have appeared in a number of magazines. Her items include popular cartoon and baby characters such as Dora, Sleeping Beauty, and Winnie the Pooh. 1. When did you start with your business and why? I made my first NappyCake in May 2004. I had just come from a US trip where I saw a diaper cake sample at a Baby Registry counter at the Kids R Us store in Bellevue, WA. I made my own version for a friend's baby shower, and everyone loved it and started ordering after that. NappyCakes - It's a Diaper Cake! was officially born in July 2004. 2.

But Kaye Catral discovered a new way of presenting gifts on kid occasions like baby showers, baptisms, and birthdays. "They're known as diaper cakes. They look like cakes, but are made out of non-edible stuff like bibs, blankets, diapers, and pacifiers," says the 31-year-old mom who owns and manages Nappy Cakes. At P850 for single-tier, P1,000 for two-tier, and P1,500 for three-tier cakes, Catral's cute creations also contain a rattle, a teether, a receiving blanket, a burp cloth, a bib, feeding bottles, a brush, and a comb.

Oh well, looks fine anyway. :P <a href="http://thenappycakesshoppe.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/R6lNsAoKCDcAAAYE1nw1"><img class="alignleft" src="http://images.thenappycakesshoppe.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/R6lNsAoKCDcAAAYE1nw1/SP%20Feature3.jpg?et=gncxxpmFAVNWZdP0rJE18w&nmid=" border="0"></a><a href="http://thenappycakesshoppe.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/R6lNxAoKCDcAAAvt76c1"><img class="alignleft" src="http://images.thenappycakesshoppe.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/R6lNxAoKCDcAAAvt76c1/SP%20Feature1.jpg?et=txVr4ICD1qsmT6LGIbBaHA&nmid=" border="0"></a> Special thanks to two great friends from Smart Parenting Magazine - Kristine Tabada and Maan Pamaran. :) http://thenappycakesshoppe.multiply.com/journal/item/8/Smart_Parenting_Magazine_Recommends...
