October 27, 2006, Newsletter Issue #38: Diaper Cakes are the Newest Rage

Tip of the Week

Are you throwing a baby shower and having a hard time coming up with a great centerpiece idea? Well, my friend, it's about time you learn how to make a baby shower diaper cake. Here is a quick recipe run through: First, you must determine exactly what size you want your diaper cake to be. Here are some guidelines to abide by: Top tier - 5-6 diapers 2nd Tier - 15 diapers 3rd Tier - 30 diapers Roll the diapers vertically into tubular shapes and hold the shapes with rubber bands (scotch tape can work too). Create the bottom tiers first by attaching the diapers with safety pins. Arrange all of the diapers to form a large, circular shape and secure the shape with a large rubber band. You can attach the tiers to each other with safety pins. It's a great idea to wrap the layers of the cake in receiving blankets or cute baby blankets. The top tier should contain an extra special item, like a keepsake or a stuffed animal. You can attach the diapers around the item to conceal it or pin it to the top layer of the cake. When decorating the cake use ribbons and adorable charms.

Feel free to get creative and have fun. Diaper cakes are becoming the hottest new item at baby showers. By taking a little time and asserting a little effort, you can create an amazing centerpiece for your baby shower or an unforgettable gift for the new mommy.
