Diaper Cake Ideas

-Let Your Creativity Sparkle-

my very own idea for a large diaper snail cake

I have some really unique diaper cake ideas for you!

Since I started my diaper cakes business about 6 years ago, I have made and sold over 1200 diaper cakes. I do have my standard designs but I have also made some very special and custom-made designs. And I have 'experimented' myself and have come up with my very own ideas and designs.

For my family and friends I have made new creations, with the outcome being some unique diaper cakes and baby shower centerpieces such as the boy diaper snail cake shown above.

Here are photos of cakes I made. Take my ideas and copy them or use them to just get some inspiration. Let your own creativity sparkle! Most of my diaper cake ideas come with a step-by-step tutorial so you can easily make your own. Click the links below each photo block to get to the instructions.


Traditional Diaper Cakes

Traditional diaper cakes are the ones that to some extent look like a real, edible cake. They can have 1-tier, 2-tiers, 3-tiers and even more. They can be plain or with various decorations and personalized or not. In addition they can have an overall theme but that's not a must. Here are a few examples for traditional diaper cake ideas.

Animal Diaper Cakes

When you make an animal diaper cake you can make the actual animal form which can be quite hard. An easier alternative often is a traditional diaper cake with a cuddly toy of this animal and all kinds of items related to this animal attached. An example of the latter would be the mouse diaper cake pictured below.

If you want to pack more diapers into your diaper animal cake, make a combination of a traditional cake (tier 1) and put the animal on top:

Diaper Baskets

Diaper baskets are a very easy way to 'wrap' diapers in a nice way. There's no complicated diaper rolling and arranging involved. All you have to do is stack your diapers in a basket or if your basket is big enough, you can just put the complete, unpacked pack in your basket. Put a small baby blanket or burp cloth over the diapers and place some baby items such as (rolled) baby clothes, feeding items, baby care products or baby toys on top, et voila - ready!

Diaper Babies

Diaper babies are very versatile, meaning you can realize all kinds of diaper cakes with them. If you need just a little gift or something to go with a gift card, just one or two diaper babies will be fine. But you can also make really big diaper babies gift baskets!

Flowers are a popular gift for women. So why not combine 'flowers' and a baby gift with a diaper bouquet.
