I was at a baby shower earlier this week and the centerpiece for the main food table was a cute tulle wrapped baby diaper cake. Not only do baby diaper cakes make cute centerpieces, they are a gift the Mother to be really can use! For example, around each layer of the cake below is a pretty receiving blanket.

Baby diaper cakes are pretty inexpensive and easy to make – they can also be as simple or elaborate as you want to make it. They can also be made with disposable diapers, cloth diapers, baby washcloths and other baby necessities.

Here are some instructions for making your own baby diaper centerpieces:

• Excellent step-by-step video for making a simple baby diaper cake that is three tiers
• How to make a baby diaper cake centerpiece
• Craftbits has the British version “How to Make a Nappy Cake”
