At last a cake that won't make you fat! Diaper cakes are the latest rage to hit the USA and they look just fabulous. The perfect gift for a new baby that you can make yourself and everyone will want you to make them one. You could even turn this into a business!
The best way to learn to do something is to watch an expert, but the next best thing is to watch them on video. After discovering these on the Internet I will definitely have to give them a try, but I would have no idea where to begin.
But who uses cotton diapers these days? you might ask. Many environmentally aware mums are now turning away from disposables and using the old-fashioned, tried but true, cotton diapers. Even if you reserve disposables only for emergencies and outings, you will be helping to reduce environmental pollution as well as saving your wallet.
So back to the great diaper cake idea. It is just the most perfect gift for a new mum. On one site you can purchase an instruction video to learn how to make three different style diaper cakes. The instructor says it is so easy, even a man can do it, in fact her husband demonstrates how to make the first type of diaper cake, which is the easiest and cheapest to make. It requires 40 diapers and, following the video, it can be made in less than 23 minutes. It looks like fun!
They show two styles of 3-tier diaper cakes and one huge, 4-tier diaper cake that also includes blankets and clothing items. I couldn't think of a more impressive gift for a baby shower, and all the better that you have made it yourself.
So if you want to surprise your friends and family with this novel idea, you will need to learn the how-to secrets from the experts. Who would have thought you could create such magnificent structures from the humble diaper? It appears that the technique is highly dependent on the way you fold the diapers. And why stop at four layers, why not try and break the record. Know anyone who has had twins, triplets or quadruplets?
Once you have seen examples of these cakes you will want to make one right away. Luckily, you can download an instruction video and learn how to make diaper cakes on your computer. You can also get detailed recipes and a supplies checklist to make shopping easier. Learn all the money-saving and decorating tips to make amazing cakes for as little money as possible.
