Remember to choose a diaper cake that fits in with the theme of the baby shower or make sure that the toys and items match when placed together on the diaper cakes, this just allows the creative diaper cake to look complete and professionally finished.


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.

Have fun creating your diaper cake gift or centrepiece!
