Wording for a twin baby shower cake

This is a three tier diaper cake. I used 75 size 1 diapers. After rolling all diapers, front to back and securing with a rubber band, I began forming the bottom tier around a bottle of baby lotion. I secured all diapers with a large rubberband. I continued this for the middle layer also. The top layer, I placed 8-9 diapers together and secured with a rubber band. I then placed a dowel rod through the entire cake, to give it extra stability.

I decorated the cake with a thick pink ribbon to cover up the rubber bands and then I placed a smaller brown polka-dot ribbon on that. I secured with a small amount of hot glue. However, I did not put it on any diapers. They are all usable. I made bows and placed on the ribbon to cover up the seams. I used a larger Gerber daisy & green ivy as my topper. VOILA! There you have it. This project took approximately 2 hours (this does include rolling all the diapers). I enjoyed taking the time to do this project and can't wait to use it for the baby shower that I am giving my sister this weekend!
