An Odd But Nevertheless Extremely Useful Baby Shower Cake
Possibly you were thinking that baby shower cakes were just a delicious dessert served to your guests… Well, that is certainly one kind of cake. However there’s another kind of baby shower cake that is filled with all sorts of handy gifts for the about-to-be mom. One very popular choice in this area is a gift that really can resemble a tiered wedding cake. However rather than being made of sugar, eggs and flour, it is built from the one thing a new mom can never have too many of - diapers.
These decorative and ingenious baby shower cakes make for the perfect gift for the occasion. Everyone thinks of giving diapers to the expectant mom and she will certainly use them. However giving diapers in this form turns a needed but ordinary gift into an occasion for laughter for the guests and the guest of honor.
Piled high one on top of another and covered with decorative items that really do make it just look like the genuine article, these diaper cakes are practical and fun and the guest of honor can peel them off one at a time as required. Like eating a wedding cake that can last for days or even weeks, the gift provides its own storage bin.
The same idea has been used successfully for many other baby shower gifts. The false wedding cake can be filled with any type of toys for the baby, gifts for the mother-to-be and lots more.
It is not only diapers, after all, that the happy couple will shortly. Baby oil, baby powder, lotion, ointment and many similar hygiene products are all common items for the nursery. At roughly 32 inches high, you’ll find these cakes hold a lot of these necessities. A baby cap, terry cloth towels and several other items of clothing are all part of the package too.
Even the somewhat smaller 2-tier baby shower cakes can offer dozens of most useful gifts and forms a fabulous decoration as the centerpiece for the baby shower table. Peel off the outermost layers and enjoy the teething ring, rattle, pacifier and more that will definitely be used. Open it up and find a brush and comb, socks, a manicure set and other equally useful presents.
A number of baby shower cakes may contain only decorative items, but these too will be much appreciated by the mom-to-be. Ceramic baby blocks, silk roses and much more set on a silver platter make this a gift that will not be put away the closet once the party is over. You will discover the blocks lining the shelf in the baby’s room and the silk roses on display on the mantle, while the silver platter is used to liven up the table on future special occasions.
