I made this one for a baby boy. This diaper cake was an XXL. I used nearly 150 diapers to give to an unwed young mom and it brought tears to her eyes to see all the diapers, booties, mitts, socks and cloths.

My husband's aunt made it, diaper's are forming the layers of cake. Then she decorated the cake with baby items.

I make baby diaper cakes for co-workers, friends and family. I always get wonderful responses from the recipients. Much better than a bag of diapers. The key is HAVE FUN!

This is a smaller version of the cascading boy with the baby's nickname RJ to hang in the nursery. Letters were basic wood letters from Walmart painted with acrylic craft paint in nursery colors.

My daughter's baby shower was approaching fast and I still didn't have the exact diaper cake I was looking for. I found some that I liked certain parts of, but overall, just not what I wanted. So, I followed directions on how to assembly a basic diaper cake on this site and added my own touch. I used size 1 diapers, but wish I would have used a bigger size, so she could have had it longer, before needing to use the diapers.

First, I covered the top half of a toilet paper roll with wide blue ribbon. Then rolled enough diapers (decorations to outside) to cover this. I put rubber bands at the top & bottom of this circle. There should be a small amount of the top of the roll showing. Second, I secured 3 rolled diapers with rubber bands, then rolled enough diapers to go around this section & secured with rubber bands at top & bottom. Third, I repeated the second step, and then added another ring of diapers. Stack the 3 tiers and insert wooden dowels through all 3 tiers to secure them from sliding around. Next I used 7/8" grosgrain ribbon to cover rubber bands.

On top of the grosgrain I used double sided tape to attach IT'S A Boy ribbon. I used socks, hats & bibs to make roses (instructions found on your web site). I used curly ribbon to tie washcloths & add color & decorations. I added 2 teethers, also for color. I added tulle to the bottom layer, decorated it, and then added the big blue bow. On each side of the bow a used a checked washcloth. Rolled it length wise, then curled it to look like a candy mint and added cellophane and curly ribbon. Lastly, I topped it off by putting a washcloth in the top of the toilet paper roll and a sock rose in the middle of that. Everyone loved it. Especially my daughter!!

Here is a diaper cake that I did for my sister's baby shower.

I made this diaper cake for my sisters first baby, his name is Camren and I made he and my little boy matching blue stripped blankets with blue fur on the oppossing side with their nick names on them. They came out really cute! This cake has 55 diapers, 1 initial,1 bottle, flowers and ribbon.

I used to take diaper cakes to baby showers as my present to the new mom and baby. Thanks to the great reviews and a little proding from my recipients, I am now in the process of converting this hobby into a business. I have a website now and would like to share a picture of my diaper cakes with you. If anyone wants to find my business, its at www.babynappycakes.com. Thanks!

This is my first Diaper cake i'm so proud of it, Thanks for giving me the opportunity to share my cake.

This is my first diaper cake that I did for the baby shower I was throwing for my sister. The theme was "Sweet Pea" so I tried to incorporate that into the design. I like to use diapers that have one side that are plain white. It gives you clean palette to work with, that way you can put any color on it without worrying about it matching the diapers. I bought large rubber bands and smaller rubber bands. I tied each diaper with ribbon and then secured each layer with a rubber band. It helps keep it really secure and you are able to do it by yourself this way. Layering ribbons is a great way to make your cake look more expensive. I didn't put too many "little treasures" as I had already put enough into the baby shower.

Now I have started I can't stop and each experiment is a new delight. I am selling them out of a local shop and so far I think it is costing me money. LOL!
