When you are looking for a perfect gift for a special baby shower or to welcome a precious newborn home, creating a diaper cake is a great alternative to boring gift ideas. Diaper cakes are constructed of disposable baby diapers and other baby supplies that the new mom will definitely be thankful for.1. You will need eighty five to one hundred disposable diapers to create a three tier cake. You can use less to create a smaller diaper cake if you wish. You can also choose to use the same size diapers or a variety for the various stages of the baby’s needs. Additional supplies that you will need to construct the cake include various size rubber bands, a dowel rod and a cake board. You can use a round cut out piece of cardboard or a cheap tin pizza pan if you wish.2. To begin a cake tier base, roll a diaper from the open end to the closed end. Wrap a rubber band around the rolled diaper. Roll an additional fifteen diapers and attach them to the first banded one, one at a time until you have a perfectly round tier formed.3. Using the same method as the first tier, begin the same process. During this step you will add twenty five to thirty additional diapers to the initial center banded diaper for this tier.4. Again you will start the same way as the previous two tiers. During this step you will add approximately forty rolled diapers to the initial center banded diaper for this tier.5. After you have all three tiers to your cake rolled and banded together it is time to begin assembling your diaper cake. With the largest of the three tiers, place your dowel rod in the center of your centered diaper. Be care to put the dowel rod through the diaper in a manner in which it will not tear or ruin the diaper. Do the same for the middle tier and the top tier.6. Place your constructed cake form on the card board cake base. You can wrap ribbon around the rubber bands on each layer of the cake to cover them up. For a fun alternative, you can use a folded receiving blanket or baby towel around the tier before tying the ribbon around the tier.7. With a variety of other baby supplies, travel sized bath supplies, diaper creams, toys, booties and outfits, decorate your cake. You can tuck the items between the diapers or attach with double sided sticky dots. Never attach items with pins, staples or other sharp objects that can get left behind and injure the baby. You can even choose to design your cake in a specific theme if you choose such as Disney, Safari or in a color pattern. What ever you chose, just have fun with this and be creative.
One of my favorite gifts was a baby bath tub filled with baby shampoo bottles, wipes, and baby towels and washcloths. Another cute idea is a diaper cake made up of disposable diapers. Instructions for this can be found online if you type in "directions to make disposable diaper cake."
Usually when a woman is preggy, her friends and family throw a baby shower for her. Gifts may include a "diaper cake." It looks like an actual cake but is made out of diapers and sometimes onesies or socks. The're cool little gifts and I'm sure very useful. Especially to new parents:) You can probably buy them at any baby clothing store or online.
There are many types of baby shower decorations that can be made at home. You can make homemade signs and hang them with close pins. You can also use diapers to make a diaper cake.

No. It is not unusual to have a diaper cake. I have recently been to two baby showers and that was what was being served. The attendees thought that the cakes were amazing!
I believe a diaper cake is more interesting and you can even arrange the games for a diaper theme. example, have people guess what type of chocolate is in the diaper (preheated in microwave) is a very funny game.

Choosing Baby Shower CakesPreparing for a baby shower party can be a tedious task. You need to define the guest list. You need to conceptualize the theme, print and send the invitations, and then prepare for the special date itself.For the party, you will think about what decorations to use on the place, what will be the program, what games to have, what baby shower favors to give, and, what to serve.During the baby shower party, the table centerpiece is most likely to be a baby shower cake. The baby shower cake cannot be similar to the cake that can just be bought from the local bakeshop.It is better if you or one of the guests baked the baby shower cake. Doing so will also assure you that the cake that will be served as a table centerpiece is in accordance with the theme that you have conceptualized.Of course, preordering the cake will also be fine as long as you give enough time for the cake to be prepared and that you have discussed with the person who will prepare the cake the concept of the baby shower party and how you would like the cake to look.However, if you have some baking skills, or if you can follow instructions from cookbooks well, it is advantageous to prepare the cake yourself. You can use your creativity for the design and you can always ask for help from friends. Needless to mention, it is also less costly.To prepare the baby shower cake, check online for tried and tested recipes and designs. You can also choose the flavor of the baby shower cake.Usually, the designs and shapes of baby shower cakes are nursery items. These are flowers, birds, butterflies, baby-shaped, toys and other kid stuff. The most common icing colors are yellow, pink, blue, green and white.In addition, if you have scheduled the baby shower after the baby was born, you can also ask for the baby's picture and have professional cake decorators create and edible cake design using the baby's picture.Another idea for the baby shower cake is to use diapers. That's right - diapers. Of course, this cake is not for the guests to enjoy. However, the mom will definitely appreciate it if there is already a stack of diapers prepared for the baby.To prepare a diaper cake, all you need to do is carefully stack rolled diapers into several levels (having three levels is suggested). You may use laces and ribbons to keep the diapers in place. However, make sure that you did not tie the diapers too tightly together to prevent them from being deformed. Deformed diapers will be useless and will just end up in the garbage bin.The diaper cake can also be placed as a table centerpiece. If you still prefer to have a real cake for the baby shower, you can bake or order a simple cake from the bakeshop.After preparing the table centerpiece, you need to combine it with good baby shower food. Most of the time, snacks, tea, desserts and punches are served. You can also have some barbecues and grilled foods, in case you have invited some male guests. The dads can bond and have some conversation while attending to the grills. This way, everyone can participate in welcoming the new member of the family.
