Here's a different kind of recipe. The crafty kind! Diaper cakes seem very popular right now. I've seen several sellers and online stores carrying them, and there are helpful how-to videos available on the web, too.
This recipe is intentionally pretty vague. What I love about crafts is we have the freedom to choose any materials we like and then create something unique and personalized.
Ingredients
- Diapers (50-100 is a good start, but the quantity you need will vary)
- Rubber bands of various sizes
- Decorative ribbon
- Wooden dowels
- Baby items (toys, blankets, towels, spoons, pacifiers, baby care products, etc.)
- Cake plate
Directions
- Roll the individual diapers. You can use rubber bands, tape, etc. to keep them from unrolling.
- Use a large rubber band to hold several rolled diapers together and form a cake layer. You may need to wiggle and re-position diapers to get the right shape, and you may need to add or remove diapers to get the right sized tier.
- Wrap a blanket, towel, and/or ribbon(s) around the layer to hide the rubber bands and maintain the cake’s shape.
- Add baby items of your choice. These can be attached using ribbon or safety pins, or you can tuck them into the cake.
- Repeat Steps 1 – 4 for however many cake tiers you need.
- Stack the tiers and vertically insert wooden dowels to hold them together.
- Serve on a cake plate.
