Maybe I should change my profession…..

Well, one of my friends had a baby girl a week ago so I decided to try making a “diaper cake”.
What is a Diaper Cake anyway?
A diaper cake is a wonderfully creative gift for an expectant mother. It is a collection of diapers (either disposable or cloth) rolled and stacked together to resemble a traditional tiered cake. There can be 1, 2, 3 or more tiers. The tiers of diaper cakes are also garnished with baby care items such as bibs, pacifiers, baby socks, bottles, toys, and more.
Diaper cakes are becoming quite popular for several reasons:
• They are original and creative. They give your baby shower gift a personal touch.
• They are so useful and helpful to the expectant mother. She will use every single “ingredient” on the diaper cake.
• Baby shower hostesses love them because they are a cute and impressive centerpiece for the party.
• They can be decorated to match any theme you want.
• They are a great gift at the hospital, at a baby shower, after an adoption, or anytime before or after a new baby arrives.
Are they easy to make yourself?
They are surprisingly easy to make!
Here is my first attempt:

  1. That’s awesome. You’re right, it would make a great centrepiece at a baby shower. Would almost be a shame to use the diapers when the time came. 😉

  2. Cute I have never heard of these, I did pass the picture along to our daughter Naomi as they are still in that age of friends:)
