How to Build Any Diaper Cake: Basic Steps
While each theme adds a personal twist, the core steps for making a diaper cake remain the same:
- Gather Supplies – Diapers (usually 50–70), rubber bands, ribbon, a cake base, decorations, and a topper.
- Roll or Stack Diapers – Secure each roll with a small rubber band.
- Form Tiers – Arrange diapers in circles and secure with a large band or string.
- Add Structure – Use a paper towel tube or baby bottle in the center for stability.
- Decorate – Wrap ribbon to hide rubber bands, then add themed embellishments.
- Top It Off – Choose a topper that matches the theme (plush toy, flower, or keepsake).
