Hi Ladies. I'm pretty new to diaper cakes and just starting seing them so excuse my ignorance... Can someone help me understand the point of them? Decorations? Pretty way to gift diapers? One of my hostesses wants to do one for me, but honestly I'm not all that excited by it. I think she was offended....
Re: Diaper Cakes? Explain
I think it's a very creative way of giving diapers and other little things. My friend made us a 2 layer diaper cake using a paper towel tube as the inside base. She then rolled the diapers and dressed up each round with ribbon and added towels, teether, plastic rings, wrist rattles. It was VERY cute.
Yes, it might be a hassle to unwrap the diapers, but if someone wants to be creative with your gift, I say let them!
I made one for a friend of mine.
I used baby wash and shampoo for the base. It is easier to tape the diapers once they are rolled, but for the one unwrapping them, using rubber bands is the easiest! I just added fun gifts to the outside and ribbon that matched the shower. It was a fun thing for me to do for my friend.
There are directions online on how to make them.
The point: a fun gift and decoration. : )
You can also make a game out of it. Guess how many diapers it took to make the cake.
Personally, I think they're adorable, but to each their own
This. Unless it is a cloth diaper cake (which would be pricey) I am not interested in diapers that I do not plan to use, nor the time it would take to break the thing down.

Do a search for diaper cakes on flickr. There are some really cute ones out there.
