My First Ever Diaper Cake (And How I Did It)
February 28, 2021So it's been 26 days since my last post, but in my defense, I've been deep into Pinterest pins and craft projects. This one, though, I wanted to share because it was my first ever diaper cake. I never really understood the diaper cake trend until I was putting together a little shower at church for one of my long-time best friends and knew the gift table would look so fancy with one right in the center. So, after reading through a few blogs and watching some videos, I felt pretty confident about the direction I would go with it.
The theme was "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star", so I found overnight diapers at Target with moons and stars on them. I bought a package of 88, but ended up only using 63 or so.
You'll need:
*Around 56-64 diapers. I used size 3.
*14-inch round cake circle
*Paper towel roll
*Hot glue gun & sticks
*Small rubber bands
*White ribbon
*Ribbons and things to decorate and embellish
Gather your items and choose a workspace. I'm at my best creatively right in the middle of the living room floor. |
A 14-inch cake round is super important. I got a pack of 6 at Micheals for $7. |
Hot glue the paper towel roll right in the middle of the cake round. |
Start the second tier the same way you did the first. 6 rolled diapers secured with ribbon. |
Then do second row and that finishes the second tier. |
For the top tier, I secured one rolled diaper in the middle of the paper towel roll for the cake topper. |
Then surround the top of the paper towel roll with 6 diapers like you did in the 1st and second tiers. That finishes the 3rd tier. |
Then decorate! I used two different types of ribbon and put gold star stickers on the ribbon of the top tier. I purchased the moon cake topper from Amazon and stuck it right in the top middle diaper. |
