How to make a nappy cake : perfect for a baby shower or a newborn gift



How to make a nappy cake 

perfect for a baby shower or a newborn gift 



Why spend so much money on a nappy cake when its so cheap and easy to make yourself!!!



Supplies Needed To Make Nappy Cake:

Nappies Of Your Choice (25-30 diapers per tier)
Cake Pans In The Same Size As Cake Tiers
Standard Sizes For Tiers Are 12", 10", 8"
3 Large Rubber Bands
Cardboard Cake Tray (12")
Ribbon (4 yards for 3 tier cake)
Tulle Or Cellophane (3 yards)


Step 1: Place Diapers In Sturdy Cake Pan


Use a sturdy cake pan in the size you want and place a handful of diapers inside.

Step 2: Fan The Diapers


Fan the diapers against the side of the cake pan holding them securely with your hand.

Step 3: Continue Adding Diapers

Keep adding more diapers until you fill the pan.

Step 4: Add Rubberband To Secure Tier

Slide a larger rubberband carefully around the entire tier.

Step 5: Fill The Middle

Either save a hole in the middle for hidden baby gifts (you can roll up a cute baby gift or soft blanket and insert it down the middle of the finished cake) or you can fold and roll a couple of diapers to keep the middle solid.


Step 6: Flip Pan Over

Flip the entire cake pan over and lift the pan off so you are left with a tier of diapers.

Step 7: Repeat With Each Tier

Repeat the process for each diaper cake tier. Use different size cake pans for a beautiful diaper cake

Step 8: Tie A Ribbon Around Each Tier

Tie ribbon around each tier and remove the rubberband by cutting it off after the ribbon is securely tied.

Done!
