Diaper Cake Ideas – Five Creative Designs

Looking for a great baby shower gift?  Check out these five creative diaper cake ideas and make your own baby present with just a bit of planning and only 30 minutes.

Diaper cakes can be used as either decorations for the baby shower or as a gift for the new baby.  They’re most often made with disposable diapers, although cloth can be used, too.  A simple two tier diaper cake can be made using one package of disposable diapers, rubber bands, some ribbon and an assortment of baby items.

To create something unique, find baby items that follow a theme.  Some ideas for great themes and the diaper cake decorations that go with them include:

Princess Diaper Cake Idea
Tiara
Pink roses
Pink princess baby bib
Pink star baby blanket
Wide pink ribbon and bows
Princess pacifier

Zoo Diaper Cake
Plush lion toy for the cake topper
Giraffe and elephant shaped teething toys
Jungle baby rattle
Animal print baby blanket and bib
Animal print pacifier tethers for car seats
Lion feeding bowl, fork and spoon set

Noah’s Ark Diaper Cake
Small Noah’s Ark toy cake topper
Pair of soft lamb animals
Pair of soft infant finger puppets in the shape of kangaroos
Pair of squeaker sheep toys
Rainbow teething ring

Bath Time Diaper Cake Idea
Yellow baby wash cloths tied in pink or blue ribbon
Yellow and green hooded baby towel
Yellow rubber ducks in different sizes
Small containers of baby powder, lotion and bath soap

Ocean Baby Diaper Cake
Infant goldfish toy for the cake topper
Smiling dolphin plush toys
Infant gel flip flops
Colorful diaper cover wrap
Starfish shaped teething toy
Fish baby rattle

You can find diaper cake ideas in almost any baby item.  Browse online or in the baby section of your favorite department store and look for items that belong together in a theme and match in color.  Always make sure the items you choose that are meant as toys or baby products are safe for infants.

If you want your diaper cake to last as a nursery decoration for awhile after the baby is born, use disposable diapers that are a size larger than newborn and attach baby toys that are appropriate for babies a few months and older.  Newborns do a lot of things – sleep, eat, sleep – but they don’t necessarily need those toys right away.  Choose a diaper cake theme that matches the crib set and your gift can last as a decoration for just a little longer.
