Wheel Diaper Cake

This past weekend I attended a very lovely baby shower where I had cute sandwiches and tea and good mommy conversation. When I had my baby shower a friend had made me a diaper cake and it was one of my favourite gifts. The only thing I didn't like about it was that the diapers were rolled up and I didn't like the way the diapers curled up when it was unrolled. So when I decided to make a diaper cake this time, I googled and came across this video that made diaper wheels instead. It was really easy and I had fun with my little helper. Read on for what we did!

Make the cake layers first. I am making a three layer diaper cake, so I have three different size pots. Watch the video to learn how to make these wheels. I won't go into details here.

I used paper towel tubes as centres. I had two on hand.

The paper towel tube should be long enough for it to go through and attach all three layers of your cake.

In the future, I will use more opaque ribbons. I had wrapped the pink ribbon around the cake two times already but you can still see the elastic band. In the video, you'll see that you have the option of removing it, but I decided to keep mine on since I didn't have a glue gun to glue the ribbons together. I used double sided tape instead.

I ended up decorating it with silk flowers. Here is the front of the diaper cake.
