I went to a baby shower in honor of my friend Emily on Saturday. I wasn’t quite sure what to bring so I put together this diaper cake. (By the way, N was disappointed when he found out the “diaper cake” I was talking about making was a cake-shaped display of diapers and not a diaper-shaped cake. He had been envisioning snacking on leftover cake pieces and marzipan but gamely helped me roll up the diapers anyway.)
My sister-in-law showed me how to put it together and how to make the little flowers out of baby socks for the top. (Thanks, Miranda!) It took 70-something diapers to make so it ends up being a fairly practical gift.
Looking at it now, there are a couple little things I would do a differently but over all I’m happy with how it turned out. I forgot to take pictures while I was putting it together but I’m going to make another cake for another shower in a couple of weeks and I’ll post a how-to with pictures then.
Nice job! I've never made or received one, but they are a great idea for a cute, very useful gift. I'm excited to see your tutorial.
That's awesome!!! Great job!! I always thought diaper cakes were actually cake too! lol!!! Shows how much I know…

So pretty! I love the little flowers that you stuck in there.
It looks great, Faith. I love the little sock flowers, too – very sweet. You will have to make N. a very special edible diaper cake of his very own now.
