Tell us about your diaper cake! We would love to hear all about it... A friend of mine had made one of these for the first time, so I decided to make one too. The both of our diaper cakes came out beautiful for beginners.

Who did you make it for? I didn't make it for anyone but, hopefully when someone sees it on my facebook diaper cake page they will fall in love with it. :)

Was there a theme or style you followed? The theme is yellow duck.

How many diapers did you use in your cake? I used 24 size-2 Luvs diapers.

What were the ingredients? I used 24 Size-2 Diapers, 2 receiving blankets, 2 baby washcloths and 2 duck safety pins.

Anything else you would like to share with us about your diaper cake or the occasion? Everything in this chair is useable for the new mom to be.
