Have Your Diaper Cake...And Give One Too!

Are you familiar with diaper cakes? They're the lovely, tiered creations crafted from diapers to look like a layer cake, and adorned with ribbons, flowers, stuffed animals or baby products. When I was given a baby shower over a year ago, my sister made a lovely diaper cake, swathed in tulle and ribbons. I was not very familiar with diaper cakes, so at first glance, I thought it was a real layer cake. Imagine my surprise, and delight, when I realized it was made totally of diapers and other useful items that would really come in handy once I had the baby (fortunately, there was a real cake, too).

Not feeling up to making a diaper cake yourself? No worries, Diaper Cakewalk creates some of the most lovely diaper cakes around. Their cakes start with a base made of Pampers Swaddlers in size 1-2, which can be worn up to 15 pounds. This allows the cake can sit in the nursery for awhile to be enjoyed before the diapers must be worn. It's such a useful gift, but also quite pretty to look at and I was reluctant to dismantle mine. The diaper cakes from Diaper Cakewalk come in your choice of themes, whether for a boy, a girl or in a gender neutral color scheme. You can choose cakes adorned with stuffed animals, silk flowers, natural products from Burt's Bees, or more mainstream products from Johnson's Baby Powder and Desitin Diaper Rash Cream. A typical 4-tier cakes contains Huggies Disposable Changing Pads, Huggies Baby Wipes, Baby Vaseline, Johnson's Baby Powder, Desitin Diaper Rash Cream, Alcohol swabs, Sassy Diaper Disposal Sacks, Hand Sanitizer, and approx. 110 size 1-2 disposable Pampers Swaddlers. They even offer the option of an eco-friendly cake, using environmentally friendly diapers. Imagine the feeling of relief from the mom-to-be, to be so well stocked with diapers and products. With newborns going through 8-10 diapers a day, this will keep them well stocked for more than a week!

When looking for a clever centerpiece for your next baby shower, or simply a great baby gift to arm new parents with the essentials, then look to Diaper Cakewalk. Their impressive cakes are sure to draw rave reviews for both their creativity as well as their functionality.

The diaper cakes are the sweetest center pieces that you can have at a baby shower. My friend had one at her shower. They do a great job!

My friends purchased an ecofriendly diaper cake for me when my baby was born. they brought it over to the hospital instead of the traditional flowers im used to getting. i was in shock- a cake made out of diapers? it contained so many hidden goodies inside, i loved it. if someone is looking for a terrific gift idea for mom, www.GrowInStyle.com has a lot of cool stuff.
