The theme of the shower was Princess and Butterflies, and the colors were pink and purple. Just thought that all of the diapers showing was plain, so I took baby washcloths and Onsies with sayings and iced the cake with them. The washcloths were easy. I just used them like icing and overlapped them till the bottom layer was covered completely. On the second layer, I folded the onsies into thirds, so that the picture and saying were what was showing. Then I wrapped ribbon around it to hold them there. On the third layer, I left the diapers and filled that one with goodies. I used colored baby clothespins for babyshowers to clip goodies to the diapers, I put wrist rattles around the polka-dotted ribbon. On the top layer I used headbeads to decorate it. On the very top, I used a childs ball and double-sided tape to attach booties, hand mittens,finger puppet, toys and the baby blanket. I also used pedialyte in the center and a paper towel tube attached for the upper layers. Also other assorted baby goods were attached to the different layers.

This was a huge hit at the shower. Mommy and Daddy said that was the only gift that they really needed to start caring for baby Sarah. I am not sure how much I spent on this cake(it was a lot), but I had so much fun putting it together.

I am in the planning stages for my second diaper cake for another niece who is also having a girl, although she doesn't want it to be so girly. Not sure if I can top the first one, but I am gonna do my best.
