How to Make A Diaper Cake Step by Step

It is a normal event in a baby shower party for someone, especially the host of the party, to present a diaper cake to the mother-to-be, who is the chief guest of the party. The diaper cake is usually a three-layered cake made of diapers and small little things which are going to prove handy after the baby arrives. There maybe a bottle of shampoo, soap, or baby powder inside the diaper cake. The trick is how to make a diaper cake step by step so that it looks tempting as well as does not break open on being handled several times.

You will need a lot of diapers and things you want to keep inside the cake. You should also arrange for a firm base on which the cake is to be built. In fact, this is the first step to start with. You have to design and decorate the base according to your liking.
Next, take all the diapers, one by one, and roll them up tightly to make them look like cylinders. You can choose to keep the colorful part facing the viewer or the white part. This will depend on the decoration that you have planned along with the cake. Secure each diaper with a rubber band.
Since there are going to be three tiers, the bottom tier should have 3 rings of diapers, the middle tier should have 2 rings and the upper tier should have only one ring.
Place a gift like a baby bottle or powder in the middle and put the rolled up diapers around it. Around 7 diapers should easily fit in the first ring. Again, secure with a rubber band to keep it tight and free from opening out easily.
Make 3 such rings, one around the other, to form a big circle over the chosen base. Make sure the base is big enough and sturdy enough to support the entire diaper cake.
To make the diaper cake more delectable-looking, tie a ribbon around the cake so that the rubber bands are camouflaged and the cake looks good too.
After the first layer is over, you can start making the second row. The second row will be done exactly as the first. The only difference is that there will be one less ring. This time the decorative ribbon on top of the rubber band of the last ring will be shaped like a bow in front of the cake. You can put in something else as a gift in the middle of the ring like a pacifier, mittens, socks, wash cloths or some baby material.
One of these gifts will also form the core of the third layer or tier. There will be only one ring in this tier.
Now you have learnt how to make a diaper cake step by step. The next and final part is decorating the diaper cake.
You can stick some colorful and decorative gifts like a stuffed doll on top of the cake. The several layers can carry other baby items which can also be used inside the cake like pacifiers, socks and the other things. You can also cover the entire cake with cellophane to give it a novel look.

You can now teach someone else how to make diaper cake step by step and help her gift a wonderful memento to her pregnant friend. She will doubtlessly be pleased with the huge number of gifts inside the diaper cake.
