Diaper Cake Instructions: How To Make Diaper Cakes
By Rita Putatunda
You’ve heard of chocolate cake, fruit cake, or cheesecake, but have you heard of a diaper cake? A diaper cake makes a great idea for a baby shower. Not only is this type of cake growing in popularity, but it also is a lot of fun to make and gift to a new mom.

While there are many types of centerpieces which can be nice at a baby shower, but a diaper cake can be an ideal centerpiece which will not only be lovely, but will also be useful for both the baby and the new mother for many days. It is referred to as a diaper cake because it is largely made from diapers. Apart from being useful, as a centerpiece a diaper cake can also become the center of attention, making a great conversation piece.

While you will find many websites from where a diaper cake can be ordered, however, besides saving some money, you can also use your creativity to make one yourself by referring to diaper cake instructions that you can get in books as well as on the Internet. However, although many sites do offer diaper cake instructions, they can often be difficult and confusing to follow.

So, to make things easy and simple, here are step-by-step directions for making a diaper cake:

• First of all, you will have to decide what size you want your diaper cake to be. The cake’s size will determine the number of diapers that you will require. Here is

  a general idea, which you can use as a guideline: Top Tier - 5 to 8 diapers; Middle Tier - 25 diapers; Bottom Tier - 45 diapers.

• Roll each diaper into cylinders, using rubber bands or scotch tape to keep the shape. Begin making the cake by forming the bottom tier, by attaching each diaper to the other, either with tape or safety pins, so that it forms a circular, cylindrical shape. Similarly, make the middle tier and the top tier.
• The tiers can be attached to each other with pins or adhesive tape. You can also use glue, but it will be messier when the cake is disassembled. A fluffy baby blanket can be used to wrap the lower tiers of the diaper cake.
• A special item, such as a baby doll, can be placed on the top tier. Other types of stuffed toys can also be pinned on the topmost layer of the cake.
• The cake can be decorated with various items like ribbons, colored paper, pacifiers, rattles, bibs, baby shampoo, and so on.
