If you want to make your own diaper cakes, then here is how you can make a simple cake with two different tiers. In order to make a two tier diaper cake, you are going to need some ribbon, about 35 baby diapers and some extra accents such as lotions, baby toys, bottles and other baby goodies.
1 – Roll each of the diapers and tie it using a piece of ribbon.
2 – Create the bottom by gathering 25 of the diapers together, tying them all together with a ribbon into the shape of the bottom tier of a cake.
3 – Create the second tier using the remaining 10 diapers, tying them together with a ribbon as well.
4 – Stack the tiers together, then stuff baby toys, lotions, shampoos, rattles and other baby goodies into the rolled diapers. Remove some diapers and replace them with other items but take care not to destroy the look of the tiered cake design.
