A Baby Shower Cake With A Difference



Maybe you thought that baby shower cakes were just a tasty dessert served at the party... Well, that's definitely one form of cake. But there's another kind of baby shower cake that is filled with all sorts of handy gifts for the about-to-be mom. One very popular choice in this area is a gift that really does look like a multi-tiered wedding cake. But instead of being made of flour, eggs and sugar, it's built from the one thing which a new mom can never have too many of - diapers.

These decorative and ingenious baby shower cakes make the perfect gift for the event. Everyone thinks about giving diapers to the mother-to-be and she will certainly use them. But giving diapers in this form turns a necessary but dull gift into an occasion for laughter for both the guests and the mom-to-be.

Piled high and covered with other pretty items that really do make it look like the genuine article, diaper cakes are not only fun but also practical and the recipient can simply peel them off one at a time as required. Just like eating a wedding cake that can last for days or weeks, the gift provides its own storage bin.

The same idea can be used with great success for many other baby shower gifts. The faux wedding cake can be filled with all sorts of toys for the baby, gifts for the mother-to-be and much more.

It is not only diapers, after all, that the happy couple will shortly. Baby powder, baby oil, lotion, ointment and many similar hygiene products are all common items in the nursery. At about 32 inches high, you will discover that these cakes hold a lot of these necessities. A baby cap, terry cloth towels and several other items of clothing are all part of the package too.

Even the somewhat smaller 2-tier baby shower cakes offer dozens of highly valued gifts and provides a great decoration as a centerpiece for the baby shower table. Simply peel off the outermost layers and enjoy the teething ring, rattle, pacifier and more that will assuredly get used. Open it up and find a manicure set, a brush and comb, socks and many other presents that are just as useful.

A few baby shower cakes will house only decorative gifts, but these too will be most appreciated by the mother-to-be. Ceramic baby blocks, silk roses and more set on a scalloped silver platter make this a gift that will not be hidden away the closet after the party. You'll discover the blocks lining the shelf in the baby's room and the silk roses on the mantle, while the silver platter livens up the dining table on future special occasions.

Take a look at the full line of baby shower cakes available nowadays and you will be astounded by all the highly creative options.

And, do not forget to order the real thing for the baby shower while you are at it.
