How About These Diaper Cake Instructions?

A diaper cake is one of those exciting masterpieces for a baby shower. Commonly done as a tradition by many baby shower hosts and hostesses. But how exactly is a diaper cake made? If you have no idea what it takes to ‘bake’ one, then you need diaper cake instructions to help you make your baby shower experience a great one. Firstly, you need to make up your mind and that of the mother to be that a diaper cake is the focal point you want to go with. Once you have done that, get searching for the relevant information. The internet has a pool of resources about diaper cakes. You need to establish the items that you require to ‘bake’ a diaper cake.

You need to get 50 medium diapers which are disposable. You might not use all of them but having extras is always handy. Secondly, you need a large cardboard platter in which to build your cake. Let it also be disposable. Get about 70 feet of ribbon to tie your rolled diapers. Their colors should be in harmony with the cake and very attractive. You also need another wider ribbon for finishing the tiers. A tall baby bottle filled with candies is the next thing you need. You require adhesive tape and other baby items like pacifiers, combs, rattles, bibs and others. Make sure you have not missed any item required and therefore it would be necessary to counter check.

The first important step is to roll the diapers with the ribbons. It is the most time consuming activity and you can roll them to desired designs. Cut about 48 feet of the ribbons that are narrow into one foot length. Use them to roll the diapers. The third step needs another pair of hands to help you. It is where you create tiers. Take six rolled diapers and tie a ribbon around them having inserted the baby bottle inside. It will take a circular form with a baby bottle filled with candies popping from the center. Once you have done this, do the same for the second tie the only difference being that it must be larger than the first one. This is done by tying more diapers. Use fifteen to do the second tie.

The third tie will be the largest with twenty seven diaper rolls. Now you can see a cake being formed. Put in mind that the diapers will be tied in rows to give the tiers a smooth finish.  The fourth step is to place the tiers in the large platter. Begin with the largest. Use adhesive tape for this. Tuck the baby stuff around the ribbons as it takes a shape of a real cake. Making a diaper is fun to do and it does not involve heat. Use ribbons to secure every baby accessory. A diaper cake can be made for a girl using light colors or for a boy using bolder colors. The cake cannot be served for the guests but it can serve as a great centerpiece. Diaper cake instructions are simple and they make any baby shower a success.
