diaper cakes

I love diaper cakes, but I know not all of my friends do, so it depends who's shower it is. I don't roll each diaper individually. I would hate to take that apart so I don't make them that way. I try to make mine easy to take apart so they are a useful gi

They are cute but are they hard to pull apart?
I went to a shower last weekend that had a diaper wreath. Oh it was cuuuute! They tied in pacis and blankets and stuff into it.

They make a cute decoration for the cake table or the gift table.

The ones I make come apart very easily because I don't use glue, tape or rubberbands. I just line the diapers up and put a ribbon around the whole "layer" and then put the
