Having a baby is perhaps one of the most exciting things in the world. However, it can be difficult for one woman to bring another being to live in a span of nine months. If you're a friend of a pregnant mother, you can help her and bring her ease with motherhood by giving her whatever she needs for rearing a child.

But before the baby finally arrives, a baby shower must also be given to the expectant mom so friends can give her and the baby things they'll really need.

One of the most popular gifts given during a baby shower is a diaper cake . It is something fun and useful for both the mother and baby.

There are a lot of ready-made diapers cakes you can find in kids' toy store and infant shops but anyone can create her very own baby diaper cake .

To make a diaper cake , you must first prepare things you'll need like diapers, rubber band, cardboard, and lots of baby products.

First step in making a diaper cake is to roll up a diaper and tie a rubber to keep it from unrolling. Make a number of rolled diapers depending on the size of the cake you want.

Set up the diaper cakes the way you want the cake to look. Common diaper cake has more diaper cakes on the base. A two-layer diaper cake like 2 Tier Baby Cake Ladybug Diaper Cake is good enough while cakes higher than that may sometimes be not strong enough.

Make sure that the diaper cake has a very sturdy base. You may use a cardboard as base but sometimes, a plywood can be a better choice.

Baby products such as baby powder, shampoo, bottles, and bibs can be placed on top of the cake layer. Add ribbons or small toys to make the diaper cake look more appealing.
