How to Make A Digger Cake

A few weeks ago we celebrated our baby turning 3.

He absolutely loves construction trucks and always points them out to me while we're out and about.

I wanted to make him a 'digger' cake and searched for ideas.

There were a lot of good ideas where people had little trucks on the cake, but I wanted to make the actual 3D version of a truck.

This is what I came up with...

There is a time-lapse video at the end of this post showing the actual process if you want to check it out, but I'm also going to go through step-by-step here with pictures.

Wooden Medal Holder

After finishing the built-in shelves in my son’s room a few months ago, we’ve been slowly decorating his room. He had his medals kind of piled up on a shelf, so I decided he needed a better way to display them! 

Built In Entryway Coat Rack

I am happy to say I was able to complete a few built-in projects over the last few months!

I actually have a few more on my list to complete, but with the hustle and bustle of the holidays I took a little break to focus my time elsewhere.

This entryway coat rack was my most popular post on Instagram for 2018, so I wanted to write a quick post to share all of the details on how it all came together.

Clean design plus functionality.

I'm so in love with how this turned out!

Let's take a look at the 'before', shall we?
