A Diapercake is practically a must-have at any baby shower. Given the high emotional ambiance at baby showers it is more likely than not that the mother-to-be would want as many memories as she can possibly gather. A keepsake diapercake makes for a great gift at baby showers. Practically inclined mothers can use the goodies and sentimental mothers can place it in the nursery and enjoy it for years to come.

However, making a Diaper Cake is also an art. You cannot just throw together some rolled up diapers and expect everyone to gush over your effortless creation. For a cake made of diapers that has true keepsake value you need to spend some time, effort and money. Once you are willing to do that then use these awesome Diapercake making tricks to make a cake that will be the talk of the party.

Secrets to making a Keepsake Diapercake:

1. Buy quality diapers like Huggies or Pampers to make the base of the cake. They do cost a bit more than other brands but you have to ensure that the so-called ‘crust’ is ‘delicious’. Besides Huggies diapers are really soft and easy to mold so roll better than other brands.

2. Add keepsake accessories like a silver or pewter children’s piggy bank or photo frame to the Diapercake. You could also use items like a silver feeding set or a silver brush and comb set. This does increase the cost a bit but it takes the baby diaper cake from being just another DIY project to becoming a cherished gift. It is also a great idea for moms who prefer to dismantle the cake and use the products. The accessories are something they can keep even long after the Baby Shower Diaper Cake is gone.

3. Use a cake topper that is reminiscent of the mother-to-be. Try to make it related to something that is commonly known about her. So if she’s a great cook or a chef by profession then try using a baby chef as the cake topper. This one can get really tricky and may require some effort on your part to decipher but is well worth the effort.

4. Use an edible top layer. OK, so we all know that the diapercake is not to be eaten. But wouldn’t it be lovely if we could? So create a Diapercake that has 2-3 layers and then get an edible cake for the topmost layer. Being able to actually eat the diaper cake will make it all the more appreciated. Ensure you use a stiff cake and not something that is too soft and crumbly.

5. Make a theme diapercake. Whatever the theme for your babyshower, match the cake to the theme. It’s really quite simple since the base stays the same and you only need to accessorize it differently. Get theme related items and decorate the cake. Ensure that the cake topper matches the theme.

6. Add some music to your diapercake. Use a small battery operated toy that plays a lovely lullaby. Place it in such a manner that you cannot really see it but can easily switch it on and off.

7. If you really want to go all out make single layer mini diapercakes to use as favors. This is a completely over the top and an extravagant favor. So, think if you can afford it before you decide on going this route.
