Diaper Cakes Originals is Pride of Dakota business
Necessity is the mother of invention is the old adage.
Amie Peterson and LeeAnne Turcotte, both stay-at-home moms of four, conjured up a business that is a perfect fit to their busy lifestyles.
Diaper Cakes Originals is among 430-plus home-spun businesses marketed by the Pride of Dakota Program through the North Dakota Department of Agriculture. March has been designated as Pride of Dakota Month.
Peterson and Turcotte started their business two years ago.
“I received (a diaper cake) at a baby shower for my youngest baby. It was a gal in Wyoming that had made it,” Peterson recalled. “It was the centerpiece on the table on my shower.”
That got her mind clicking.
“I thought it’s good to bring something like that around here,” she said. “I called LeeAnne and said, ‘I got a great idea for us.'”
Turcotte had received a similar assembly for her eldest child.
Thus, a business was born.
