When most people think of a diaper cake, they think of a typical almost wedding looking cake of stacked diapers. Or they have no idea what a diaper cake is. I didn't want to do a typical one and I knew my friend's sister was having a little boy so I wanted it to look more like it was for a little boy. It was a cute display to have at the baby shower at least.
I found the instructions to make this off of Pinterest. http://www.maidendshade.com/2012/01/tricycle-diaper-cake-tutorial.html Her site has a detailed tutorial of how to make this. It does take a little work, but she has pictures of the different steps which helped me out a lot. Above is what my final product looked like. I was able to get all the materials at decent prices with finding a pack of diapers for cheap at Big Lots and the blankets and clothes at DD's discounts which is like a Ross so it didn't end up costing me an arm and leg to make, but still looked like I spent a lot. I also added the stuffed monkey to make it more kid friendly. At least her nieces and nephews thought so when they were taking him off his bike the whole time. I also got a foam posterboard and painted it like a sidewalk and grass to add a little extra.
I will tell you what you'll need so that way if you do decide you want to make one, you can get everything together. I tried to find everything in similar colors to go with her theme.
-A pack of size 1 diapers
-2 receiving blankets
-A pair of baby socks
-2 bibs
-A bottle
-Some ribbon
-Stuffed animal 12" or so
*Tip: I used a round cake pan to help for the wheels of diapers and hold them in place while I put ribbon around them so if you have one, it really comes in handy.
