DIAPER BABY SHOWER IDEAS
A clever idea that plays on the diaper cake theme is to make Washcloth Cupcake Favors for your guests to take home!
These are made with real washcloths (and not baby washcloths) so your guests can use them! Just roll up a washcloth, tie it with a cute ribbon and put it in a cupcake wrapper.
You can go even smarter by attaching a cute bar of soap and a favor tag to the cupcakes. The favor tag can say something like “From Our Bath to Yours! – Get our FREEbie below! (click pic)
- You can even make some small baby shower diaper cake using different colors and decorations. Place one on each table and tie balloons to them for a cute centerpiece. Give all the mini diaper cakes to the new mom at the end of the baby shower.

This unique and adorable cloth diaper cake was made by Jackie from Kansas City, Missouri. Below are her instructions for making this cute masterpiece!

• Then I put big rubber bands on the container
• Next, Roll the inserts for the diapers and fasten them with rubber bands.
• Then use a larger band and place the fuzzi bunz and bum genius diapers over the inserts. Tie everything with curly ribbon.
• In the cylinder I put a wet bag and lemon-scented diaper crystals
• On top of the cake I placed a small frog wearing a cloth diaper that I found in a gift shop.
• Around some of the diapers, I put little girl’s hair ribbons.
