15. Make sure to turn all the edges into the center cake.

16. Second Layer, put your second rubber band on the pole and again start adding diapers, I try and match the bottom layer.

17. You may need to cut down your yellow noodle so the bottle tucks about 2 inches into the second layer.


18. Again make sure all diaper edges face in and that the rubber bands are in the same area so a ribbon will cover them.




19. Use Baby Spoons between layers, not only as a nice surprise,

25. Attach your stuffed toy around the bottle, using rubber bands to attach arms together and even legs. You want it on good and tight, especially if you are going to mail it.

26. Gather up all the little baby goodies you have bought to decorate the cake. I try to stay with a theme. Tie small ribbons that are long enough to tie the goodies to the main ribbon, or around the top of a diaper. I generally buy a couple Dollar Tree Bibs to put on the back. You can just attach them around a diaper on the top tier. They will cover the back, and it will take less goodies to make the cake look full.


27. You can buy the Dollar Store little washcloths, and put a tight rubberband around the center. tuck one end in-between the diapers. The rolled end looks like roses.



28. Next Cut all your flowers off your big Stem, using wire-cutters. Leave about a 4-5 inch stem on each one. Push the green leaves up close to the top.




29. Add Your Flowers like you would on a real cake. Filling in blank areas.

30. Make a simple bow with your wired ribbon, by just cutting about 12 inches of ribbon, folding it from each end so it crosses. Use florist wire to wrap tightly around the center.. Leave about a 4-5 inch twisted wire so you can tuck it between diapers..



31. Leave about a 4-5 inch twisted wire so you can tuck it between diapers.. Place Your bows around the cake, again filling in empty spots.

32. If you are sending the cake or taking your cake as a gift to a shower, it looks lovely with a Basket Shrink Wrap over it. I Used the 30" tall x 30" wide one, from Walmarts. I didn't shrink any of it.

33. Diaper Cake Finished
