Baby shower decorating: the "diaper cake"

My mom came over last week and said she was responsible for the decorating for a baby shower- specifically, five centerpieces- and did I have any ideas?

I didn't.

But Google is my friend and I discovered something called a baby diaper cake. I may be out of the loop, but before this Google search, I'd never seen or heard of a diaper cake in my life. But I thought the idea had potential, and I really couldn't think of any other ideas, so that became the plan.

The result:


Pretty cute, huh? I was actually quite proud of how these turned out. My mom bought a package of diapers, some ribbon, rubber bands and rubber duckies, and we set to work. Mom held Audra while Ella and I rolled the diapers, mom helping when she could, and I formed the "cakes". Isaac helped, too. We were quite the team.

So if you ever need an idea for a baby shower decoration, here's my one and only idea. It's practical, too: the expecting mama gets to take home all those diapers!
