Preserve a Moment in Time
Babies grow and change so fast it's a wonderful gift to be able to capture your newborn or baby's little hand or footprint or preserve their first baby shoes forever. Patty-Cakes exists to give you a keepsake that will last a lifetime and be passed from generation to generation.
Bronzed baby shoes, photos, and announcements can be grouped together in a shadow box or as desk accessories for the perfect remembrance of a moment in time. Now, you can add to your family heirloom collection with additional products like a Kindergarten Shadow Box, Bronzed Pacifier, or Holiday Ornament.
We even offer Patty-Paws® for your furry family members too!
