Explore How to Make a Diaper Cake
by Diane Dexter
Likely one of the most like and well received baby gifts, to be given both for at a shower or just after the baby is born, is the well-stocked and useful diaper cake, so how to make a diaper cake is a question often being asked. They are likely one of the best gifts an expectant or new parent can receive as they include lots of those all too necessary diapers! While the cakes can be purchased pre-made, they are often very expensive, and really they are easy to put together yourself.
This, for those who don't know, is a structure made up of diapers, or a combination of diapers and other baby supplies. These other supplies can include baby clothes, bath supplies, rattles, bottles, and more. The cakes themselves can be small and only one tier, or they can be large with three tiers or more, although the most common is probably the three tier.
For larger three tiered cakes, anywhere from 65 to 100 diapers are needed. If other small gifts are including in the diaper tiers as well, this will reduce the number of diapers needed in each layer. The cakes may look difficult to create, but actually they only need a few supplies and some time to create.
The best place to start is by rolling the diapers and securing each one with a rubber band, then to gather the number needed into a circle and rubber banding that to create a tier. For the average three tier version, it will require about 67 diapers. If a larger diaper size is selected, the parents will be able to enjoy it for longer before having to take it apart.
Once all the tiers have been made and secured with rubber bands, the next step is to assemble the finished product. Wooden dowels are handy here to make sure the layers stay together and do not fall apart when it is being carried. Wooden dowels can be found at any craft store, often in the cake decorating aisle.
After all the layers are stacked, it is time to decorate the cake. For a simple look, it can just be made up of diapers with some ribbon around each layer to hide the rubber bands. For a more decorated look, in addition to the ribbon, small toys and items can be put on it as well. This is often done by nestling the items into the diapers, gluing them to the ribbon, or tying them on.
To decorate with baby items, they can be nestled into the diapers or attached in some other way. Often, items are placed on to resemble a topper. No matter which guide on how to make a diaper cake, it will be one of the most incredibly useful and unique baby gifts.
