More diaper cakes

I am addicted to diaper cakes! This cake is for Lynette Lau, whom just turn 1 month old not too long ago. :)

This 32 pieces diaper cake sits on a 10" cake base I bought from SKP.
Diameter of top tier: 6.5"
Diameter of bottom tier: 9"

Love how the fabric covers hold the diapers in place.

I also gave her the reversible kawaii kimono shoes made earlier.

Baby Diaper Cake

My 2nd diaper cake! This was an order for baby shower :)

It is smaller compared to the previous diaper cake I made. I used 32 (S sized) diapers and a 8 inch cake base for this, then sewed 2 diaper covers for both tiers. The diaper covers (fastened with elastic bands at the bottom) double up as a holder/bag after the cake is dismantled.

After packaging...

Awesome gifts, isn't it?

Cracking your head for baby gift ideas? Try making a diaper cake! It's pretty, practical and can double up as a great display for the party!

How to make a Diaper Cake
Things you need: Diapers (of course!), 8 to 12 inch cake base depending on your cake size, ribbons, scortch tape, scissors. If you're planning to do a 2 tier cake, you'll need something strong such as cardboard roll or milk bottle for support.

I used 40 sized M diapers for this project.

Stack the diapers together until it fits the cake base nicely. This step can be a little tricky cause the diapers keep slipping away. Get a helper to hold it for you, or try what I did - hug it with one arm, then use a ribbon to secure the diapers with the other. Spread the diapers evenly.

Tape the support to the cake base to prevent it from moving when you wrap the diapers around it. 

Place the diaper over the support. There! You're done with the lower tier. :)

Now, the second tier. Repeat the stacking diapers process.

Decorate it as you wish! I made 2 fabric ribbons and topped it up with a bow!  The diaper cake is good to go! :)

Wrapping is important for the temperamental weather in Singapore. I used pink polka dots disco paper.

Diaper cake beautified!

Enjoy your diaper cake!

Diaper Cake for Lorraine

Today is J&K's Lorraine's 1st birthday party! :) Kelvin is a practical guy, so my gift choices were in some sense limited to vouchers, toys, clothes... Well, I chose diaper cake!

There are 2 methods to do diaper cakes - stacking or rolling. I preferred the stacking method cause it does lesser damage to the diapers when being tied together, and I think it's prettier. After bundling the diapers, I made 2 fabric ribbons and topped it off with bow. I was so engrossed it was 1.30am before I knew it! (-_-") Plastic wrapping was done this morning.

TK was home so I got him to snap a picture before I deliver the cake! ♥♥
