The shower cake, a new decorative idea

If you have a baby shower to organize or are looking for a gift idea for the birth of a baby, here is an original idea: the diaper cake.

This trend appeared all over our social media in 2020. It's become a key decorative element for events for expectant parents. This stunning and original gift always makes an impression. And it's obviously an edible cake, meaning parents can gradually take their share of diapers for their little one.

In fact, this diaper cake idea is so popular that it has made some diaper brands want to offer you kits so you can make it yourself or ask the brand directly to make it for you.

For a zero-waste and eco-friendly approach, it's best to use reusable diapers so you don't create waste with your disposable diapers. Plus, by offering this reusable diaper cake, parents will be even happier to have this gift they'll use multiple times. An eco-friendly and responsible cake!

How to make a DIY diaper cake?

To make your layer cake, you need:

• Diapers (two or three packs)
• A roll of ribbon
• Rubber bands
• A pie dish or pastry ring
• An empty paper towel roll

Step 1 : Roll up all your layers, holding them with a rubber band on each end.

Step 2 : Assemble the layer cake by arranging your rolled layers in your mold in a circle around the paper towel roll located in the center.

Step 3 : Once all the layers of the first row are installed, hold them with a large elastic band and then a ribbon that you tie in a pretty bow.

Step 4 : Repeat the same steps for the other layers until you have a mounted layer cake.

Step 5 : Decorate your diaper cake with the accessories of your choice (baby bottle, comforter, socks, etc.)

Your cake is ready for your event!
