Easy Diaper Cakes For Baby Boy
Below are several adorable diaper cakes for baby boy showers and gifts.
All of them have been submitted by our talented readers! We hope these diaper cakes inspire you! Enjoy!
Monkey Diaper Cake For Baby Boy
by Bridgette
(Fairmont, MN, USA)
This cake was made with Huggies brand diapers rolled up in to tubes.
Inside the cake is Baby Lotion then I surrounded it with rolled up diapers.
Then I added another ring around it. Then I added one more ring to complete the fourth layer on the cake.
After finishing up the rings, I took out some of the diapers and replaced them with 8 oz bottles.
This gives it more stability. The third layer has the same amount of rings of rolled up diapers.
I
wrapped a cotton baby blanket around the bottom two layers and secured
it with safety pins (just in the blanket, not into the diapers.
The second layer has baby powder as the center and then two rings of diapers around it.
The
top layer of the diaper cake is just one ring of diapers. I have
onesies, socks, and a bib rolled up and "hiding" in the cake.
The
grosgrain ribbon is wrapped around the center of the two layers of the
bottom layer and the center of the middle of the top and middle layers.
I
also added some tiny ribbons that I tied in bows to every other diaper.
The final step was adding the toys, pacifier, and bib. The initial is
hand painted and has their first name written on the wooden initial.
This completes my initial diaper cake! :)

Cute Curious George Diaper Cake
by Rebbecca Dixon
(Tell City, IN)
For the deluxe style, I make sure I have my 85 diapers, cake pans to help arrange them uniformly in the fanned style.
Make three tiers (40, 28, and 17 diapers) and secure them with rubber bands around the outside of each tier.
I use cardboard paper towel rolls in the center for stability, then decorate according to baby shower theme or nursery theme.
In the case of this diaper cake it was decorated for the baby shower colors of blue, green and brown.
I
included a Curious George stuffed animal that the customer had. So I
also incorporated some monkey embellishments to tie George in with the
cake.
Twin Diaper Cakes for Baby Boys
by Rachael
(Red Bank Tn USA)
How to Make These Twin Diaper Cakes for boys:
-Pack of Diapers (2's work best)
-Cardboard cake plate
-3 wash cloths
-Hair brush and comb set
-Pacifier and holder
-Ribbon all different sizes and styles
-Stuffed animal of your choice
-3 pack of mittens
-Cute favor bags
-Pack of spoons
-Q-tips
-Baby diaper pens
1ST you choose your theme. Then you roll the diapers and secure them with rubber bands.
Use a different amount of diapers for each layer (tier). Getting smaller each time. Tie ribbons around each tier to secure.
Now it's time to start decorating! Roll the wash clothes like you did the diapers and tie them with ribbon.
Roll
the mittens and slide them in the favor bag. Put the spoons and the
comb and brush set in the ribbon tied around the cake layers and
randomly place all of your decorations on the cake. Place the stuffed
animals on top or on the side using baby diaper pins to do so.

It's a Boy! Diaper Cake
by Nathalie
(Wellington, FL)
This was my first diaper cake. I made this"It's a Boy Diaper Cake" with size 1 Pampers Swaddlers diapers.
I
bought a 92 ct box but did not use all of the diapers. I will give my
friend the remaining diapers along with her present so she'll have the
complete box.
The middle is supported with a 12 inch plastic cake dowel.
Three diapers are wrapped (jelly roll style) around the top-middle-bottom sections of the dowel and secured with rubber bands.
The remaining diapers are also rolled up and secured with rubber bands (each).
I started by building the bottom layer first. Each row of diapers is secured with white ribbon to hold them together.
Once I constructed a 3 tiered cake, I decorated it with ribbon and used a teddy-blankie as a cake topper.
I can't wait to deliver this cake!

Blue 3 Tiered Cake
by Laura
(Northwest Indiana)
How to make this Blue 3 Tiered Cake
What joy it is to create a lovely memory and (work of art) for a friend.
I
based my cake after the topper I found at a nearby party store for
about $3.00. (This store was privately owned and had everything from
dresses to invitations and crafts.
These mom and pop stores usually have the best crafts that entice the mind with ideas.)
The topper had a traditional delicate feeling, therefore I stayed with a crisp white and blue theme.
1.
I first used a tall round oatmeal container for the center of the cake.
Any round tall container will work-look around your house for ideas.
2.
Small diapers (with blue lining) were then rolled and held together
with thick rubber bands (if you use thin ones they'll bend the diapers).
3. Diapers were then placed around the bottom of the container.
4.
Ribbon (purchased at a craft store 3-4 yards around $2.00) is then
measured around the perimeter of the bottom layer with a 1/2" extra.
Then a strand of white pearls(purchased at a craft store 3-4 yards
around $2-3) is hot glued to the ribbon. Then the final ribbon is placed
around the tier and hot glued at the ends.
5. Repeat this process for the second tier.
6.
If the top tier will not fit around the oatmeal container, then use
something around the house ex. a can of soup. Repeat the process of the
other tiers.
7. The top two Styrofoam discs (less than a dollar
each, can be purchased at craft places such as Hobby Lobby,Joanne
Fabrics, and Wal Mart. Repeat ribbon technique and hot glue the
Styrofoam discs on top of each other.
8. Place and hot glue the lovely boy topper on the top Styrofoam disc (around $1.50 at any craft store).
9.
Lastly place cake on top of doily(any craft store at around $2.00 per
package)and hot glue the bottom diapers and container to it. Then
decorate and glue to the cake blue and white flowers.(purchased at Wal
mart in the scrapbook section for less than $1.00 per package).
Voila! you have an original, priceless, timeless, piece of work to give.
Transporting ideas: place the cake in a round laundry basket in order to keep it from moving in your car.
Other
cake ideas: if your friend or family member has already picked out a
tier cake, then surprise her with a replica of the cake and turn it into
a diaper cake.

4 Tier Cake
by Marichu D
(SC, USA)
I made a 4 tiers diaper cake for a friend. I used the blue and brown ribbon, top it off with a big blue bow.
I
used size 2, 2 packs diaper and lots and lots of baby stuff, for
example rattles, pacifiers, brush and combs, forks and spoons and some
more, hope you all like it.
Blue, Yellow & Green Crinkle Cake
by Lin
(Florida)
1 box of 60 #2 diapers
Small and Large rubber bands
Ribbon - White 2.5 inch. 6 yards
Ribbon - Stripped 1 inch. 6 yards
Tissue paper - White
Shredded Paper - Yellow 1 bag
Wilton Baby Topper
Wilton White 12" ruffle board (Cardboard)
Cake Sticks White about 8 - 10"
Little Blue Pacifiers
Roll
each diaper (roll opening of diaper into the diaper) and place a small
rubber band around each one. Take a large rubber band and place it
around 2 rolled diapers, continue to add rolled diapers until you form a
circle for the 1st layer (almost the width of the Wilton board).
When
you form the bottom circle take 3 cake sticks and place in the diapers
for support for the next layer of diapers. Take tissue paper and rap it
around the bottom layer of diapers. Cut extra tissue paper off at the
corners and tuck under the layer of diapers.
Make your 2nd
circle of rolled diapers about a 1/2 - 1 inch smaller than the bottom
layer performing the same process as stated above. Slide the 2nd layer
of diapers onto the sticks.
Place tissue paper around the 2nd
layer as you did the 1st layer. Make a 3rd level of rolled diapers and
place over the sticks and place tissue paper around it.
Take wide
white ribbon and place around the layer of diapers covering the entire
side. Since my ribbon wasn't wide enough to cover the height of the
diapers, I placed 2 rows of white ribbon on each layer. You can use
straight pins or a little of hot glue to hold the ribbon.
Place
the stripped ribbon in the center of the white ribbon around each layer
of diapers. Attach the same way as you did the white ribbon.
Place
shredded paper on the top of each layer. Make a bow for the top of the
diaper cake. Hot glue shredded paper, bow and baby topper to the cake.
Use very little glue so it doesn't stick to the diapers.
I took
the baby shower invitation and cut it down to a smaller size. I took
green floral wire and glued it in between the invitation and then placed
it into one of the diaper openings at the back of the cake.
I added little pacifiers on top of the shredded paper which you can?t see very well in this picture.

Doggie Themed Diaper Cake For Baby Boy
by Let-Let Labarda
(lelek1818@yahoo.com)
I made this doggie diaper cake for a doggie lover mom-to-be, my sister-in-law!
This
is made up of 92 pieces pampers new Swaddlers size 1 diapers
individually rolled & held in place by small hair ties / rubber
bands.
Each tier is further held in place by larger rubber bands
and wrapped and decorated by ribbons. The baby essentials are placed
both inside and outside the diaper cake.
A complete listing of the ingredients can be found in the pictures attached.
I found making diaper cakes a stress-buster for me.
This is my first diaper cake and I'm looking forward to making more. (So far I made two since i started last month).
However I'm only making them as personal gifts for expectant moms who are close family and friends.

Little Red Wagon Cake
This Little Red Wagon Diaper Cake was made for a cousin when she had her first baby. It was made with one blanket, a small basket, 2 washcloths and 20 diapers.
Wrap
a red baby blanket, sheet or towel around a rectangular basket. Tuck it
in to the inside of the basket and fill the basket with rolled diapers,
rolled baby washcloths, baby goodies such as lotions, socks, booties,
hats, onesies, etc.
Roll 2-3 diapers and secure with a black or gray washcloth to make each wagon wheel.
For
the wagon handle, wrap a used wrapping paper roll in black wrapping
paper or wrap with black ribbon. Make the top handle out of tin foil and
wrap black ribbon around it. Secure with a glue gun.
So cute! You can also place a big furry stuffed animal on top if you wish!
Everything used to make this cute creation (minus the handle) can be used by the new mom!

Sponge Bob Cake
by Betty
(Clinton, Arkansas, United States)
Choose which size of diapers you will need (depending on if it's for a newborn diaper cake or a toddler cake)
Roll each diaper and secure with rubber bands. We are going to make 2 tiers.
I made a 6x9 inch square bottom and covered it with Spongebob wrapping paper.
I
used 2 cardboard cake bottoms for the cake to sit on, glued and taped
them together, placed wrapped bottom onto the cake bottoms and hot glued
in place.
Then I glued yellow ribbon around edges of bottom wrapping.
Made a 4x4 square out of rolled diapers, secured in place with a large rubber band and hot glued in middle of bottom.
Next I glued yellow ribbon round middle of top,also name in place.
I
glued plastic bowling pins in place and green and yellow bubble sticks
on each side,glued Spongebob night lite in center of wrapping.
Top with a Spongebob basket filled with treats and place few stickers in place! My Grandson loved it!!!!

Perfect Idea!
by: Anonymous
I love this idea for a toddler diaper cake! My grandson loves
Spongebob and I wasn't really sure what to get him for his birthday.
He already has a ton of Spongebob toys, stuffed animals, games, etc. So I didn't want to get him something he already had.
This gave me the idea to create a Spongebob present that is made of
Little Swimmers diapers for when you go swimming, a beach pail, bath and
pool toys, bubbles, a beach towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, a coloring
book, flip flops, temporary tattoos, stickers, markers, paints, sand
toys, inflatable pool toys, goggles, snacks such as Spongebob crackers
and fruit snacks.
His birthday is in June so I went with a summer theme!
Thank you for the inspiration!
