Step 9Putting on the final touches
This cake was for a Baby girl so I went with a pink theme. This is the part where you can make your cake super special by tailoring the cake with small items that relate to the baby or the interests of the baby's parents.
Tie ribbon around the middle of each layer to cover up the outside rubber bands on each section. I tie knots first to secure the ribbon before I tie the bows. Also, wait to cut the extra ribbon from the bows until all bows are done. That way you can make the ribbon the same length for each tier (basing it off the shortest ribbon). Once the ribbon is secure, cut the out rubber band.
I used a pink rose as the cake topper because it went with the baby's garden themed nursery. In the past, I have added baby rattles, small stuffed animals, sports balls, pacifiers, you name it. Note: if you are using florals or other wired items that will be inserted between the diapers cover the pointed ends with tape. This will prevent you from puncturing the diapers and when the diaper is eventually used any leaks will not be your fault.
These diaper cakes are a hit; everyone always asks me how I made them.
So for under $35 you have a baby gift that will impress everyone and you did not even have to buy the $300 baby stroller off their baby registry. Plus, the parents will thank you down the road when they run out of diapers at 3 am and don't have to make a trip to the store. Some Mom's fight the urge to disassemble the cake but at 3 in the morning all good things come to an end.
