Baby Shower Diaper Cakes

June 22, 2009 By Dusty Rogers 27 Comments

Last weekend was a joint baby shower for my good friend Jill and her friend Sally. I wanted to do something fun for their gifts, so I decided to try my hand at DIY diaper cakes.

Here’s the one I made for Jill. The bottom layer is a polka dot blanket she registered for, followed by a layer of diapers. In the center (the dark brown with the white polka dots) is the crib bumper she registered for with ribbons tied around the middle for a little added color. And I topped it all off with a cute little teddy bear.


And here’s the one I made for Jill’s friend Sally who is having a boy. Each layer is filled with little diapers that I rolled up, surrounded by receiving blankets, some grosgrain ribbon, and held together by little blue diaper pins.


They were so much fun to make, and a hit with the moms-to-be!

    You are the cleverest ! If I was having another bebe, then I’d fly you out as a guest at my shower for sure, just to get one of those !

    But, I’m not. No more babies. So I’ll live vicariously. :-)

    Hi! I’m stumbled upon your site when searching for green and brown baby items. Is there any way you can ask your friend, Jill, where she got those receiving blankets? I love the polka dots! I’d love to find them! I’d appreciate it so much!

    I love that you did more than just diapers. I’ve seen a lot of diaper cake variations and the two you made take the cake by far :)

    Thanks everyone! Your comments are all so sweet!

    @Ginny–Yep, Jill is pregnant! She’s due November 16th. The shower was held last weekend b/c Sally (who’s due in October) lives in Kentucky and won’t be back in town until after the baby is born. Sally was in town last weekend, so their girlfriends decided to throw them a joint shower then. Exciting times ahead!

    @Lauren–the green and brown polka dot bedding is from Target. That bottom “layer” isn’t a receiving blanket though, it’s more like a mini baby comforter. Hope that helps!

    Sooo cute. I love the idea of making some of the layers the gifts from the registry – it’s all about the packaging, ya know? Brilliant.
