Make a Baby Diaper Cake

Diaper cakes are not only impressive but they are also a practical gift for mom-to-be. Follow along to create your next baby shower masterpiece.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Step 1

First off you must roll each individual diaper. This will be the most time consuming part but don't worry, it really isn't too difficult. Roll each diaper and secure with a clear rubberband.
Step 2

Now that the diapers are rolled you are ready to assemble your cake. Grab that cardboard or metal base and place a bottle in the middle. I like to fill the bottle with small candies such as M&Ms. The bottom layer will need two ring of diapers around the bottle. Secure each ring with ribbon. The next layer will need one ring around the top of the bottle. Again secure with ribbon. The third and final layer will be only one ring of diapers secured with ribbon.
Step 3

Now it is time to affix a centerpiece on top of the cake. You may have selected a stuffed animal, rubber ducky, or even a pretty bow or floral arrangement.

Tips & Warnings

If you buy diapers with patterns roll the white side out.
You may use double sided tape instead of clear rubberbands to secure the rolled diapers but it may harm the diapers during disassembly.
Add more umph to your cake by hiding little goodies for mom-to-be within the layers this can be done by placing travel sized shampoos or other trinkets here and there in place of some of the rolled diapers.
Cakes are fragile. You may want to wrap in celophane and tie with a pretty bow when finished for easier transportation.
