Making diaper cakes a fun way to customize a shower while also including more diapers to give to the mom-to-be.
I recommend buying Pampers swaddlers in size 1. Other brands have writing or pictures on them. Pampers are mostly white so they give a more clean look. If you want color to show then another brand would work best.
Roll each diaper and secure with a rubber band. Either one band in the middle or one towards the top and one towards the bottom. It simply depends on how you want to decorate the 'cake'. We used a total of 34 diapers for each cake. 24 diapers for the bottom layer and 10 diapers for the top layer.
We used a 6" round cardboard for a template to align the bottom layer of cake. After all the diapers are in a circle, secure with a larger rubber band.
Do the same for the top layer with the 10 diapers.
Using my Silhouette I cut out a border to go around each layer. We used a glue pen and put a dot on each end to keep them together. We also embellished the paper with rhinestones we found at Hobby Lobby.
For my baby shower we used ribbon and it turned out very cute as well!
Stack the smaller layer on top.
Add a few rhinestones to a cluster of hydrangeas and stick them on top of each cake. I've also used fake peonys. Any large flower or cluster of flowers would be cute.
And there you have it. Very cute centerpieces that the mom-to-be will be get plenty of use out of in the months to come.

One of the nicest diaper cakes I have seen! Good job! And thanks for the tip about getting Pampers because they're mostly white. I never would have thought of that!

Hello, :o)
Thank you so much for such a great tutorial. I am an English tutor and would like to use your fabulous tutorial as a learning tool. I was wondering if it would be possible to use your information on the following site: www.lingq.com - I would put your information on the site and I would record an audio file to go with it. I would then post it and put a link back to your site. Would you allow me to do this?
Glad to know about these baby shower cakes. Couple of months ago, I arranged my best friend’s baby shower party at one of the finest LA event venues. Invited all our friends for this event and arranged a lovely party there. Everyone loved the arrangements!
