O diaper cake is one of the main items in the decoration of the baby shower, an event to celebrate the arrival of the baby and celebrate the pregnancy.
The ways of decorating are as varied as possible, the most common being 1,2 and 3 floors.
The decorations vary according to the theme of the party, but they usually include decorative bands, rubber bands, stuffed animals, pacifiers, baby bottles and more.
How to make disposable diaper cake
How about decorating your baby’s baby shower or giving a friend a beautiful cake like this? It’s easy to do and the walkthrough is really quick.
To start decorating the diaper cake you will need stuffed animals or party theme decorations, decorative ribbons, elastic, cardboard, scissors, pins, clothes and pacifiers.
The first step is to roll up each diaper and secure with elastic or ribbon.
Then it is necessary to attach a cardboard roll or something that serves as a base for the desired height of the cake in a cardboard plate.
To continue, adjust the rollers around the roll until you reach the desired width, securing it all around again. So, start making the top layers.
If you want more stability, place other plates between the layers, remembering to cut a hole in the middle to fit the cardboard.
Another option is to use rolls of toilet paper between floors. Being shorter, they eliminate the need to pierce the backing plate.
Finally, tie a satin ribbon on each layer, which will serve to hide the rubber bands and decorate the cake.
At the top you can decorate the way you want, using objects, toys, bows, flowers and shoes.
How many diapers do you need to assemble?
The number of diapers needed varies for each cake model. If you choose to make a simple, one-story cake, you will need approximately 40 diapers.
2 or 3 layer cakes are more common, but require a larger quantity. On average, 70 diapers are used for this model, making it possible to make a 2-story cake wider or a 3-story cake slightly narrower.
