An Unusual But Nonetheless Most Handy Baby Shower Cake

Maybe you were thinking that baby shower cakes were simply a tasty dessert served at the party... Well, that is definitely one form of cake. However there is another kind of baby shower cake which is filled with all kinds of useful gifts for the about-to-be mom. One extremely popular choice in this area is a gift which really can remind you of a multi-tiered wedding cake. But instead of being made from sugar, eggs and flour, it's made from the one thing that a new mom can never have too many of - diapers.

These attractive and clever baby shower cakes make the perfect gift for the occasion. Everyone thinks of giving diapers to the mother-to-be and she will certainly be able to use them. However giving them in this form turns a needed but ordinary gift into an occasion for laughter for both the guests and the mom-to-be.

Piled high one on top of another and covered with other pretty items that really do make it look like the genuine article, diaper cakes are fun and practical and the guest of honor can peel them off one at a time as required. Just like eating a wedding cake which can last for days or even weeks, this gift provides its own storage bin.

The same design idea has been used with great success for many other unique baby shower gifts. The faux wedding cake can be filled with all sorts of toys for the baby, gifts for the mom-to-be and much more.

After all, it is not only diapers that the happy couple will need soon. Baby oil, baby powder, ointment, lotion and many related hygiene products are commonly needed items for the nursery. At roughly 32 inches high, you will find that these cakes can hold a lot of these necessities. Booties, a baby cap, terry cloth towels and several other clothing items are part of the package too.

Even the somewhat smaller two-tiered baby shower cakes can offer dozens of most useful gifts and provides a fabulous decoration as the centerpiece for the baby shower table. Just peel off the outer layers and enjoy the teething ring, rattle, pacifier and more which will certainly get used. Open it up and find a manicure set, socks, a brush and comb and other presents that are equally useful.

A few baby shower cakes may house only decorative gifts, but these too will be highly appreciated by the mother-to-be. Ceramic baby blocks, silk roses and more set on a scalloped silver platter make this a gift which will not be hidden away the closet once the party is over. You will see the blocks decorating the shelf in the baby's room and the silk roses on the mantle, while the silver platter livens up the table on special occasions.
