Diaper cakes are becoming more and more popular due to their adorableness and usefulness. Diaper cakes can also add some creativity to your baby shower decor. While diaper cakes can be very simple, there is also the potential to get creative. Read on to see some of the most creative diaper cakes!
What is a Diaper Cake?
Diaper Cake is an arrangement of rolled diapers stacked in such a way as to look like a multi-layered cake. You can make a simple diaper cake using colored ribbon to match the theme along with some artificial flowers or just a themed soft toy topper.
If you want to go a bit further, you can decorate the cake with pacifiers, lotions, bibs, rattles, toys, towels, socks, pants, baby nail clippers etc.
Diaper Cake Decoration
If you’re planning a diaper cake for party decor, consider incorporating a stuffed animal or doll to fit with the theme. This adorable teddy bear diaper cake would make the perfect eye-catching piece of decor for any baby shower.
The cake uses a simple tiered system, however, unlike some diaper cakes, this cake uses a large stuffed bear in baby clothing as a part of cake. It appears that the bear is climbing up the cake. The double ribbons holding the diapers together also adds a lovely touch.
