My boyfriend’s sister’s baby shower is this weekend and I was so overwhelmed with what to get her. There are just so many adorable baby clothes/shoes/toys that I could buy! I also had to keep in mind that I was going to be going to two different baby showers for her, so I needed two gifts. Being the poor student that I am, I went all out on one gift and homemade the other (this is the homemade one).
I wanted to bake her a cake, but I found out that there was already going to be one.. so what do I do? Make a diaper cake! I came up with a 5 layer tiered cake, made out of about 90 pampers diapers (completely usable!). Instead of using dowels to hold the cake together, I used baby bottles, instead. Clever, right? I made my own “cake board” by cutting a piece of cardboard and wrapping it with tissue paper. Decorate the cake and voila! It’s all ready to “eat.” :]
The first two pictures are of it all wrapped up, the last one is the cake by itself.
Kim you are amazing, I can never put anything creative that has to to with baking past you, cause just when I think you can’t go higher, you come up with something like this masterpiece. Unreal! If I were turning 2 and not 22 althoough I act like 2 sometimes, I would ask for a small diaper cake. haha, well done Kimmy! I give it a 10 a 10 a ****** 10!
This looks amazing!! I have been going through image after image of diaper cakes online and this one is one of the best, even better than the “professional” ones selling for upwards of $70!!!
Can I ask where you got those animal pictures from? I am also making a diaper cake and would like to have similar animal cutouts on it!
Please reply soon, thanks!!!!!!!!
thanks! the animals are wooden figures that i got from michaels.
