What you will need
-Baseball Diaper Cake Printable Instructions
-3 packages of diapers (I used size 1 Pampers)
-1/8” or 1/4” ribbon (I used navy grosgrain)
-1 Welch’s Fruit Snack pack
-2 Tubs of frosting (I used store bought)
-1/2 cup of candies (I used M&M’s)
-Clear wrap
-Double sided tape
-Scissors
Step One – Preparing the Diaper Cake
The first thing you need to do is gather all of the supplies you will need to make your diaper cake. You will need a package of diapers, a cake pan, some sort of decor for the top of the cake (this could be a baby toy, a blanket, or even just a bow), and some ribbon to tie around the outside of the cake. You will also need some sort of padding for the inside of the cake pan so that the diapers do not rip when you are assembling the cake. Once you have all of your supplies, you are ready to move on to step two.
Step Two – Assembling the Diaper Cake
Now that you have all of your supplies, it’s time to start assembling your diaper cake!
To begin, take the three rolls of toilet paper and roll them into balls. These will be the base of your cake, so make them as big or small as you want. Once you have your balls, stack them on top of each other and secure with a rubber band.
Next, start wrapping the ribbon around the outside of the cake. Start at the bottom and work your way up, securing the ribbon with a knot or piece of tape every few inches. Once you get to the top, trim off any excess ribbon.
Now it’s time to start adding the diapers! Starting at the bottom, begin wrapping them around the outside of the cake, securing each one with a rubber band. Continue until you’ve used all of the diapers and reach the top of the cake. Again, trim off any excess diaper material.
The last step is to decorate the outside of your cake with anything you like! You can use baby clothes, stuffed animals ribbons, or anything else you can think of. Be creative and have fun!
Step Three – Decorating the Diaper Cake
Now that the cake is complete, it’s time to decorate! Get creative and have fun with this step. You can use anything you like to personalize the cake and make it your own. Some popular ideas include sports-themed items, such as baseballs, bats, and gloves; or you can go with a more general baby theme, such as ribbons, onesies, or stuffed animals. The sky is the limit!
Once you’ve decided on your decorations, it’s time to put them on the cake. Start by wrapping a ribbon around the base of the cake, then begin attaching your chosen decorations. If you’re using smaller items, like beads or buttons, you can glue them directly onto the ribbon; for larger items, like stuffed animals or blankets, you can tie them onto the cake with ribbons or string.
When you’re finished decorating, Step Back and admire your handiwork! You’ve just created a one-of-a-kind diaper cake that is sure to be a hit at the next baby shower you attend.
