Baking a Diaper Cake

Here is a picture of the diaper cake that I had made for Erin's baby shower. It was fun to put together once I got the hang of it! At first the diapers kept popping out everywhere and it took a few practice tries to get it right and help from Jamie. Here's how I did it:

Supplies you'll need:
50 or so disposable diapers
elastics
ribbon
baby receiving blankets
baby socks
baby wash cloths
baby outfit
baby accessories

How to make pull it together:
1. Take one diaper and roll it tight length wise
2. Roll more diapers length wise around first
3. Once it has reached the diameter you like secure with an elastic
4. Continue making different size tiers until all diapers are used, securing each tier with an elastic
5. Fold a receiving blanket to the height on the bottom tier and wrap around
6. Secure by wrapping around elastic in back (baby pins could be used as well)
7. Cover all tiers with a folded receiving blanket and secure
8. Embellish with folded washcloths, baby socks, outfits, accessories & ribbon
9. The top was made by putting an elastic around 3 pairs of baby socks and having the tops all stick out
10. Secure the entire assembled cake with ribbon wrapped from the bottom to the top and cover with sock topper

You can add anything small you like to it as far as baby items go, rattles, stuffed animals, pacifiers, ect. It helps to have a second person help you out holding it as you add the diapers to the larger size tiers. Give it a try and happy 'baking'!!
