Diaper Cakes Like You’d Never Seen Before!

· by · 2 Comments

Special thanks to Laura, diaper cake maker extraordinaire, for partnering with me to make this post possible. 
One of my very favorite shower gifts I received was a diaper cake. It was made with organic diapers and had a cute yellow and brown giraffe theme. I used every item included in the gift, and I also enjoyed it as a cute centerpiece on our table in the weeks before the baby was born.

Diaper Cakes: The Next Level

I recently learned about AllDiaperCakes.com, and have had a conversation with the owner, a mom of one (and one more on the way!) named Laura. She has a passion for creating diaper cakes that are really at a whole new level in terms of theme, overall design, and the quality of gifts included. I loved my diaper cake but I REALLY love hers! I know many of you out there are expecting or have loved ones that are expecting. Please take a moment to check out these unforgettable diaper cakes, and don’t miss out on the coupon code at the end of the post!

Laura has dozens of diaper cakes, but I especially want to point out her limited edition designs. With these cakes, you will see high end baby brands featured, such as The Honest Co. diapers, Noodle & Boo baby products (some of my favorites…they are so luxurious!), Swaddle Designs swaddle blankets, and gifts from wubbanub. The diaper cakes Laura makes become one of the most creative and beautiful ways to give gifts that will be used and loved immensely by the parents as well as by baby.

Let’s just take a quick look around the shop, shall we? I want to show you a few of my favorite cakes!

nautical diaper cake, lobster diaper cake, under the sea diaper cake

Nautical theme diaper cake. I love everything about this cake. It could set the whole tone for the baby shower (clambake!).

ruffles and dots diaper cake, diaper cake for girl

Ruffles and dots diaper cake. What a festive design! Notice how Laura’s designs don’t just include ribbons. She incorporates very useful gifts as part of the design (the bottom polka dot layer you see is actually a swaddling blanket!).

bee diaper cake

Bumble bee diaper cake. Laura makes cakes in many different themes, as well as in different sizes. This cake is more petite, but it still packs a visual punch. Love that onesie that is incorporated into the design!

Laura is constantly creating new designs. In the coming weeks, you’ll see monkey cakes, elephant cakes, football and Christmas themed cakes making an appearance!

Best Baby Shower Decoration Idea!

baby shower decoration ideas

As we all know, one of the really fun things about reading blogs is that different bloggers often have really cool product reviews and giveaways. The very first blog giveaway I ever won was for a diaper cake from Diaper Cakewalk. I was pregnant at the time, and for the last 2 months of my pregnancy, I used the diaper cake as the centerpiece on our dining room table! It was just that cute, folks! It served as a reminder that our big day was close at hand, and since it was an eco-friendly diaper cake, it also reminded us to try to go green as much as possible as we prepared for our baby.

I have to tell you, I have memories of diaper cakes being sold in local grocery stores when I was a kid, and they were ugly. I assumed, therefore, that all diaper cakes were unfortunate-looking. I am so glad to report that I WAS WRONG. Perhaps the person who made them at my local store was just not particularly skilled at making them! The diaper cakes from Diaper Cakewalk are downright beautiful. They make such an excellent baby shower gift idea for the expecting mom. I can tell you from experience that they are so fun to have on display, and they are also fun and easy to use when the time comes. A 4-tier diaper cake will have enough diapers in it to last roughly 9 days, which is awesome! The diapers are size 1 Pampers Swaddlers. I like that they aren’t made with newborn diapers because some babies are born too big for newborn diapers. In my case, Darah wore size newborn diapers for about 3 weeks, but that just meant that I had a little while longer with the diaper cake before I had to disassemble it!

 

diaper cake as baby shower decoration ideas If you are hosting a baby shower in the upcoming months, I strongly encourage you to consider purchasing a diaper cake. They will provide excellent decor for your event and double as a very useful gift that has more staying power and purpose than a vase of flowers. Diaper Cakewalk even offers some great baby shower ideas on the site to help you plan your shower!

 

Perhaps you are pretty crafty, yourself, and you’d like to try your hand at making your own diaper cake. Diaper Cakewalk even offers Do-it-yourself diaper cakes as an option if you want to customize the overall look yourself.


Concerned about how the cake will hold up during shipping? Don’t be! My cake arrived in MINT condition, ready for immediate display. These diaper cakes are very well-constructed!
