Hello, I make diaper and towel cakes of all sizes and styles.

Here is one I made for my son's girlfriend's aunt. The colors were blue and brown.

Cute Turtle Diaper Cake

by Racheal Bratten
(Kentucky)

I create pre-made Diaper Cakes, this one was specially made for a lady whose shower theme was Turtles.

What you need:
- 1 Pack Of Diapers (Size 1)
I Used Huggies
- Ribbon In Your Choice Of Colors
You Will Need 4 Yards Of Each You Would Like To Use
- Scissors
- Hot Glue Gun
- Needle And Thred
- Small Rubber Elastic Hair Bands
You Can Find These At Wal-Mart In The Hair Section You Will Need One Pack Which Contains Around 200 Of Them In Any Color
- Cremp Paper
This Can be Found At Wal-Mart Or Any Craft Store It Is Simply Gift Basket Filler
- Floral Wire In A Rather Thick Gauge
- Wooden Animal
Sold At Wal-Mart And Craft Stores


Start by rolling each diaper, stretch it out on a table and begin to roll the end that would be the front of the diaper by rolling it toward the inside so that the outside that guests will see is smooth.

Tightly roll it, once rolled use the small elastic bands slide one over the top and the bottom of the rolled diaper, continue on each diaper until you've rolled them all.

On a flat surface (you may need an extra set of hands) place about 26 to 28 diapers on the table standing on there ends push them all together and see if it creates a circle you may need to add some or take some away to make it perfect this will be the bottom layer of the cake, with someone helping you use the floral wire to wrap around the center of the diapers and twist it so that the diapers remain secure make sure to twist the wire together enough so that it wont come loose clip the wire and move this layer to the side.

For your second layer do in the same way but this time only using between 16 and 18 diapers put them all together to make the circle then use the wire to secure them together.

And the top layer will use between 8 And 10 diapers secure these together.

Once all layers are complete start back with the bottom layer, tuck the wire in between two diapers in the crease so it doesn't snag your ribbon. For the ribbon I used on this diaper cake I sewed it together so it would stay in place.

Take each color ribbon you would like to use on the bottom layer a doing one at a time wrap it around the layer letting it meet in the back and then cutting it to fit leaving and extra 2 inches do this with every color.

After cutting over lap the two pieces of ribbon that are largest the top piece and the bottom piece and tack them together using thread and needle then use the ribbon you've chosen for the center and tack it to the center where the larger top and bottom ribbon meet.

Do this with each tier. After you've tacked all your ribbon together place it on the tier you made it for INSIDE OUT to where you are looking at the back side of the ribbon pull it tight with your hand and tack it in the back with the thread and needle so that it remains tight once you've tacked it pull it off of the layer and continue to sew it together one sewed cut off the extra ribbon and flip it outside in then slide it back over the diaper layer this will allow for the ribbon to have a finished look where it has been placed together.

Do this for each layer.


Once each layer has been sewed and placed on the diaper tier stack each layer together to create the Diaper Cake. If you wish to add the small bows that I did use floss ribbon to make them tack them with thread so that they wont come undone and then tack them to the ribbon that wrapped around the cake wherever you desire.

To create the bows on the front simply make an '8' out of the ribbon and tack it in the middle with thread then make one slightly smaller in a different color in the same way and tack them together with thread attach to ribbon on diaper cake.

Once complete use your hot glue gun to attach the animal you've chosen to the center tier of the cake.

Add the crepe paper to each tier and use small pieces of the floral wire to make 'U's to secure the paper so that it doesn't fall off do this on each layer.

Your Turtle Diaper Cake is complete.

This type of cake can be made in any color scheme and done with any kind of animal even done with a painted first initial of the baby. It's fairly easy to make and the mommy-to-be will be sure to love it not only because it's adorable but because it's hand made by you just for her..

Crocodile Rock Diaper Cake

by Kimberley Dickson
(New Brunswick, Canada)

For an undetermined gender, critter themed baby shower

For this Crocodile Rock Diaper Cake you will need;

2-84pk. #1 Pampers, ouch less mini hair elastics, a crocodile hand puppet, 6 pack of child sized hangers, wide ribbon, fancy yarn, fishing twine, 2 pack of soothers, 4 pack of facecloths, 2 pairs of booties, a pair of mittens, a bug garden stake, a mobile-like butterfly, a digital thermometer, a bib, sleeper, hooded towel, small pack of wipes and a platter.

Procedure;

- Rolled both packs of diapers (picture side in) and held them together with the ouchless elastics

- Glue gunned the ends of the ribbon together and stuffed the diapers, standing on end into the ribbon center until full. Diameter of your glued ribbon, depends on your desired tier size but remember this has to be big enough to sit a stuffed, 3 month sleeper on the second tier and you must leave enough diapers left to stuff your hand puppet sleeper

- Put the fancy yarn of your choice around the ribbon?s middle, could also use a narrower ribbon

- Stacked them all together on a platter

- Held them all with the bug garden stake through all three tiers

- Used the hangers to make a support for the alligator with some of the hangers going lengthwise across the top to stick the alligator hand puppet on and some going through the body to support the frame, using the bottom of those hangers (in the area of the sleeper?s bottom) to stick it between diapers of the second tier, tying him to the cake and posing him with fishing line

- Then decorated the alligator with; soother in his hand, pair of mittens on his other hand, a bib around his neck, a facecloth rolled up in his arm and a pair of booties on his feet

- Used two of the facecloths to wrap the wipes with yarn (or ribbon) and rolled up the hooded towel, tying it to the top of the wipes and then to the top tier of the cake with the fishing line then stuck the booties through the line on the top which tightens and secures it more

- Tucked a digital thermometer between the diapers and tied on the remaining soother with fishing line, hung a mobile butterfly and the last facecloth over some of the fishing line.

This was a very fun project to do and so much more personal than just handing someone a few bags of diapers. You?re only limited by your imagination when doing these. Everything is usable.

This cost about $80 dollars to make and the mother-to-be absolutely loved it. It was the hit of the shower.

Noah's Ark Baby Shower Cake

by Jessica Rivera
(Queens, NY)

Noah's Ark Baby Shower Cake

Materials used: rubber bands, push pins, ribbons, rubber toys, stuffed animals, baby essentials, baby shampoo bottle, stickers, tape,cardboard cake base and tissue paper.

I started the diaper cake on top of the cardboard base as a reference for support. My center piece held by the surrounding diapers was a large bottle of baby shampoo.

The first layer was made up of 30 diapers, held by rubber bands. To hide the diapers, I used tissue paper. The second layer was made up of 15 diapers, which was then covered by a different color tissue paper.

For the cake top, I used a rainbow ribbon held by push pins. Surrounding the ribbons were mini stuffed animals representing the animals in Noah's Ark. Additional decoration was used with baby stickers and baby essentials, such as baby powder and cream.

Lastly, I added rubber toys on the bottom to give it more of a fun look. Keeping in mind that all items could be used by mom and baby.

Fishy Diaper Cake

by Emmeline
(Covina, Ca)

This Fishy Diaper Cake is a simple 3-tier Diaper Cake made with 6-pack washcloths, 2 pacifiers and a rattle.

The yellow in the middle is crumpled up tissue stuck down the middle of a wrapping paper tube because i couldn't think of a topper.

I ran out of colored ribbon so i folded up tissue again to put on top of the thick yellow ribbon for contrast because she wasn't she if she was having a boy or a girl.

MINI MOUSE DIAPER CAKE

by Cindy Hyde
(Lake Havasu City Arizona)

I really don't have instructions just put it together but below is what I used and how I used it.

40 size one diapers rolled with rubber bands

Second and third layers I used a baby bottle in the middle

To hold the diapers together I used pink and black ribbon and small clothes pins which looked really cute held the ribbon in place. I also used the clothes pin to attached the pacifier bag on he left side of the cake.

Mini Mouse has a magnet on her bottom and the diapers which hold her up but had to pin her in the front also

The flower in front of the cake is a baby t-shirt and flower in the middle and on the shoes I added the ribbon to match the ribbon on the cake.

Around the cake is socks and mittens which I folded to make look like flowers

The base is cut out cardboard with black material.

The colors were perfect together. Since I could not attend the shower I had to make an impression and from what I was told this was Jessica's centerpiece. It was fun making it for her.

MINI MOUSE DIAPER CAKE

Little Lamb Diaper Cake

by Amber E.
(Troutdale,Or)

I made this Little Lamb Diaper Cake for another cousin. It is the smallest one I've made.

They live out of state so it had to be portable for a long drive. I rolled all the diapers and used a bottle for the center support.

Used spoons with socks rolled into flowers and scrap booking stickers and die cuts for decoration.

I didn't know her theme so this is what I came up with.

Animal Diaper Cakes

by stella lagoidou
(komotini,greece.)

For these baby animal diaper cakes I made 2 tier cakes using 25 disposable diapers.

For the middle you can use a card board paper towel roll or use a baby bottle.

Roll each diaper and secure with rubber bands. Line the rolled diapers around the center object (I really think the baby bottle works great and the mom can use it for the new baby)

Secure all of the diapers with a large rubber bang and/or a pretty ribbon.

Do the same thing for the top tier.

Decorate with needed baby items such as baby toys, baby wash, shampoo, a baby blanket, towels, socks, a bib, and top with a cute stuffed animal.
