Read more about me in a StartupNation featured story

After having our first son we had everything crib, playpen, stroller, etc. So when we had our second son, all we needed were diapers. When we told our friends and family we wanted diapers they would tell us that diapers weren’t a gift. So we decided to find a way to make diaper giving a great gift. Hence, Stinky Cakes™ was born.

Stinky Cakes are all the talk in New Mom and Mom to be circles as a must have gift.
Fun, Functional, and Funky, Stinky Cakes are the perfect gift for Rookie, Veteran, or Hall of Fame parents. These glamorous and trendy Stinky Cakes are actually created with layers of disposable diapers and can be adorned with an array of goodies.

Stinky Cakes... BECAUSE MOMS NEED DIAPERS!

Why me?
I should win this award because along with my husband I have learned what it means to have a dream, and work to achieve it. I am a very hard working mother of two who like so many other moms wanted to find a way to earn an income while being at home with my kids. Well stinkycakes provided a way for me to do that. I have been able to create a source of income for myself, and I do it while chasing my two sons around. I am living a dream. We have seen our company grow over the past year from a hobby, to a viable online business with hopes on seeing it become several stores across the US.

I am dedicated to building my company and pleasing my clients. I believe that one day stinkycakes.com will be one of the premiere stops for all new moms and moms to be. Give a stinkycake get a smile :)

I also intend to create a foundation to help combat teen pregnancy. With this foundation I hope to achieve a way to not only educate teens about the effects of teen pregnancy, but to help teen parents, both male and female, attain life skills that would ensure a better future for themselves and their children.

The award for leading moms in business would mean a lot to me and my company.
