Diaper cakes are a unique baby shower and new baby gift constructed out of disposable diapers, and styled to resemble a tiered cake. These cake shaped diaper towers can vary from simple very elaborate. The cakes can be personalized to the baby itself or can be crafted to coordinate with varied baby shower themes.
The diaper cakes are most often three tiers of rolled disposable diapers secured together with rubber bands. It is common to take off some of the diapers in the inner layers of diapers in the cake and replace them with other small gifts like baby clothing, diaper rash ointment and baby bottles. After the diapers have been rolled and rubber banded together, and the extra gifts substituted inside dissimilar portions of the layers, dowels need to be strategically located within the layers to hold the cake together. The dowels will keep the cake from falling over while being portable and keep it stable. To hide the rubber bands that hold the diapers in place, it is common for diaper cake builders to add ribbon that has coordinating colors to cover the bands and add a cohesive nature and brightness to the cake which is mostly diaper white at this point.

They are then wrapped in protective cellophane wrapping and tied with a ribbon so all things stays clean and secured to the cake. verily the sky is the limit to how a diaper cake can be created and decorated.
