Now you're up to the fun part!

  • Place the largest cake tier on the platter. Using several pieces of adhesive tape on the underside of the diapers, tack them to the platter. Don't use so much tape that the diapers will tear when the mother disassembles it.
  • Place the second tier on top of the base and attach with tape to the lower tier.
  • Place the smallest tier on top and attach as you did the other tiers.
  • Tuck the various baby accessories inside the ribbon, all around the cake. Make sure they fit snugly, and tie with more ribbon if necessary to keep them from falling off.
  • Finish the cake with the one-inch ribbon wrapped around each tier to help secure the accessories and provide a finishing touch.
