Baby Boy Diaper Cake

Cheyenne's Comments:
I made this diaper cake when I decided to go to a baby shower last minute. The pictures are kind of blurry but you can still see some details. I made my diaper cake taller rather than wide.

I only used about 50 diapers. Total cost was about $20-$25. Decorations included: 2 bibs, 2 pairs of socks, travel size baby wash, shampoo, and powder, a rattle, a teething ring, a rubber ducky for the topper, a package of links, a brush and comb.

I just rolled up the diapers and secured them with rubber bands, then secured the entire layer with a rubber band and covered with blue ribbon. The diaper cake looks blue because I rolled the diapers from the bottom so that the design on the diapers showed. (I didn't use anything in the center of the layers.) I placed the travel size bottles behind the bow of the ribbon on the 1st and 2nd layers from the bottom.

On the 2nd layer from the bottom I took the socks and hung one pair over the ribbon on each side of the bow. I placed the teething ring on top of the top layer of diapers and sat the rubber duck in the middle. I strung the links from the back of the teething ring at the top to the bottom layer of diapers and attached it to the ribbon. I put the bibs on the back of the diaper cake.

I used an inexpensive cake stand that I already had to display the diaper cake. I put it behind the gifts and food at the shower. My diaper cake was a hit at the shower. Most of the guests had never seen one before neither had the mother.
