  • Publication number: 20080217387
    Abstract: The present invention can include a method of packaging baby apparel items in the shape of baked goods. In the method, one or more baby apparel items can be folded into a desired shape. An optional baking receptacle, enveloping apparel item, and binding element can be used. Once folded, the apparel items and optional items can form an aggregate shaped like a baked good, such as a cupcake, a tart, a loaf of bread, a pie, a cake, and a pastry roll. This shape can be formed without affixing adhesive to the baby apparel items and without creating holes in the baby apparel items. Hence, a usability and function of the baby apparel items is preserved despite the innovative shape. In one configuration, the shaping of the apparel items can be performed by agents of a storefront and can include customer selected apparel items.
