A Baby Shower Cake With A Difference

Possibly you were thinking that baby shower cakes were merely a tasty dessert served at the party... Well, that is certainly one kind of cake. But there is another kind of baby shower cake which is filled with all kinds of useful gifts for the expectant mom. One very popular choice in this area is a gift which really does remind you of a multi-tiered wedding cake. But rather than being made of sugar and flour and eggs, it is made from the one thing that a new mother can never have too many of - diapers.

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

This same idea can be used successfully for lots of other unique baby shower gifts. The artificial wedding cake can be filled with any type of toys for the baby, gifts for the mom-to-be and a lot more.

After all, it is not only diapers which the happy couple will shortly. Baby oil, baby powder, lotion, ointment and many related hygiene products are common items for the nursery. At approximately 32 inches high, you will see these cakes hold many of these necessities. A baby cap, booties, a terry cloth towel and several other clothing items are part of the package too.

Even the somewhat smaller two-tiered baby shower cakes can offer dozens of valuable gifts and makes a great decoration as a centerpiece for the baby shower table. Simply peel off the outer layers and enjoy the teething ring, rattle, pacifier and more which will certainly be used. Open it up and find a manicure set, a brush and comb, socks and many other equally useful presents.
