Piglet Diaper Cake

Pamela's Comments:
I am a busy graduate student. I do not have any children of my own, but all of my friends are starting to have babies. I wanted to make something for my good friend that was unique, creative and personal. I stumbled upon this website and thought hey I can do that. I looked at all of the other cakes people submitted on the site and tried to incorporate a a bit of everything I liked. I used a bottle of baby lotion, although I really liked the pedialyte idea someone else used. I wrapped a very soft fleece like blanket around the bottom tier of diapers and affixed baby pins on the back. This added a cute decorative back to the cake. I also used clear hair ties, that you can get at any local pharmacy to hold the diapers together individually. I did have a hard time finding a large enough rubber band for the bottom piece, so I also used a large cotton stretchy head band, it worked great. I chose to use piglet because it was a girl and the piglet was on sale, plus was the same texture as the blanket. I wanted a more elegant look, so to hide the top of the bottle I bought satin pink flowers, they were only $3.00 for a bunch. i knew the baby shower would have about 100 people at it, large! So I affixed medication and gas drops on the sides. I figured that you can always use that!

I actually was not able to attend the party because I had classes, but my friend dropped it off for me. From what I heard, the mom-to-be asked my friend where I bought it at. When I eventually got to see the mom-to-be she was impressed and didn't want to take it apart!! Overall, this site was great with directions.

I recommend anyone to try it.
