You Won't Want to Eat this Cake, But the Mother-to-Be Will Love It!

By , About.com Guide

The next time you're looking for a creative centerpiece idea for a baby shower, consider making a diaper cake. This cake won't be served to the guests for dessert as part of your baby shower food. But a diaper cake will do double duty as a cute baby shower centerpiece and a very practical gift for the new baby. Although storks and bunnies are cute baby shower motifs, they won't be of much use after the party is over. However, what new baby couldn't use a few extra diapers stacked up in the nursery?

Follow along with this simple picture tutorial, and you'll see that even those who are baking-challenged can create a diaper cake. Even if you've never turned on an oven in your life, you'll find a diaper cake is as easy as pie to create!
