How to make a baby cake out of nappies?

Are you invited to a baby shower and considering what gift to bring? Or maybe you're hosting the shower and wondering how to create a baby nappy cake as the centrepiece?

Regardless of your role, a baby nappy cake is a fantastic choice that not only looks festive and impressive but also serves as a wonderful gift for the expectant mother. She will absolutely love it! These well-crafted cakes not only look visually appealing but also meet many of the essential needs of a newborn baby. Nappy cakes can be created in various ways, with different tiers, colours, and themes.

If you're interested in learning how to make a baby nappy cake yourself, follow these step-by-step instructions to create a memorable and functional gift.

Gather your supplies

To make a baby nappy cake, you'll need a few essential items. These include nappies (diapers), rubber bands, ribbons, baby products (optional), and a sturdy base like a cake stand or cardboard.

Roll the nappies

Take each nappy and roll it tightly from the waistband to the leg opening. Secure each rolled nappy with a rubber band to keep it in place. Repeat this step for all the nappies you'll be using.

Create the base tier

Take a large rubber band or a piece of ribbon and secure a group of rolled nappies together. Arrange the rolled nappies in a circular shape, forming the base tier of your nappy cake. Make sure they are tightly packed.

Build the additional tiers

To create multiple tiers, repeat the process of securing rolled nappies with a rubber band or ribbon. Each tier should be slightly smaller than the one below it. Stack the tiers on top of each other, securing them with the rubber band or ribbon.

Decorate the cake

Get creative with your decorations! You can wrap decorative ribbons around each tier, attach baby products like rattles or pacifiers, or add soft toys on top. Personalise the cake according to the baby's gender or theme of the baby shower.

Finishing touches

Once your nappy cake is decorated, take a moment to ensure everything is secure and well-balanced. Adjust the tiers if needed, and trim any excess ribbon.

Why is a baby nappy cake a good baby shower gift?
