Diaper Cake - A Fun Gift For The Expectant Mother

A baby shower is a time for celebration. It is a time to treat the pregnant mother like royalty. This is meant to be her day. Pregnancy celebrations are in order; a new baby is going to arrive on the scene very soon. How do you decorate the baby shower party and what gifts do you give the expectant mother? Well, why not a diaper cake!

A diaper cake is an excellent centerpiece for a baby shower party. It will certainly generate a lot of laughter and cheer and will be the ideal gift for the pregnant mother.

As a first step in preparing the diaper cake, you need to know what size it will be. Usually a three-tier cake is prepared. This requires about fifty diapers. The base tier will require about thirty diapers, the middle tier about fifteen and the top tier will require five.

How To Make The Diaper Cake

To make the diaper cake, you need to have a cardboard paper towel roll or a baby bottle. Roll the diapers over this to give them a cylindrical shape and the tie them with rubber bands or adhesive tape. Use an attractive ribbon to hide the rubber band and give the diaper a decorative touch. Take a cardboard platter and assemble the tiers on top of each other. You can assemble them with the help of safety pins and scotch tape. Now tuck little baby toys and baby items into the ribbons as decorations. To conclude, you should top the cake with something that suits the theme of the baby shower party. It could be a teddy bear, or a cartoon character or any such thing, based on your baby shower theme.

A good idea will be to use several baby items to decorate your diaper cake so that your cake makes an attractive gift. For more information visit pregnancy period.
