Cake, baby!

Yes, this post is all about delicious cake, but just not the kind you eat.

It’s about the kind you can carry. I found this decadent purse online and just fell in love. First with the name of course, and then with the design. It’s from Petunia Pickle Bottom.

But, it’s not just a purse. It’s also a diaper bag. That’s right. Inside this not so little red number is a fold out changing pad, room for diapers and a plastic case for wipes. No one would ever guess. Unless of course they, too have had some cake.

Now, don’t feel like you’ve gotta go and get pregnant just to carry this purse. Petunia Pickle Bottom made the changing pad detachable so you can carry Cake even if you don’t have a little one in tow for a reason.

  52. My favorite way to eat cake is actually to bake a white mix up as cookies and top with Rainbow Chip frosting. Yum! But I wouldn’t say no to it in cake form either. :)

  53. Oh my god. Ever since I was little, I’ve loved vanilla cake with strawberry between the layers. It’s a staple at Indian weddings, and I would make my mom (who does not eat eggs) get a piece just to give it to me. And my grandma (who is diabetic). And my sister (who does not like strawberries).

    Ahhh! I just love it.

  54. Classic Chocolate Cake… MmmM Yummy!

  72. German Chocolate Cake and Carrot Cake!!

  73. White cake. Plain old white cake! Never had a hankering for red dye #7 or whatever it is… But the purse/diaper bag is cool, if I don’t win, I’m totally getting one for my sister who’s gonna pop on my b-day and name her kid after me so I’ll pay for stuff. Good plan baby sister…good plan!

  74. I like all kinds of cakes, but chocolate cake is the best. Even better if it’s a cupcake!!

    I love Petunia Picklebottom’s stuff! She is local to me and I’ve been dying to get one of her diaper bags…and I’m pregnant with my second! So now is a great time!

  101. This bag is soooo lovely!
    My favorite cake? Baba au rhum. My fiancé’s grandma’s baba au rhum, drenched with its own syrup for at least three days before being served, so it absorbs it all and develops an irresistible sugary crust on its surface.

  171. My favorite cake is the Chocolate Mountain Fudge Cake from Black Angus restaurant…but homemade I usually prefer white cake with vanilla frosting. Or those little molten chocolate cakes.
