Diaper Tiers

Diaper Tiers

You will be creating three tiers for this cake. It would be helpful during this part of the process to have an extra pair of hands helping you hold things together as you tie.

Begin with the top tier.

  • Fill the baby bottle with the purchased candy. Stand five or six diapers around the bottle and tie them tightly around the bottle with a length of narrow ribbon.
  • Create the second tier with approximately 15 diapers. Once again, tie tightly together with the narrow ribbon.
  • Create the third, and largest tier using approximately 27 diapers. To make the tying simpler, first tie an inner circle of diapers together. Then stand the final row of diapers around this circle and tie once again.
