An Unusual But Very Useful Baby Shower Cake
Maybe you believed that baby shower cakes were merely a tasty dessert served to your guests… Well, that is undoubtedly one form of cake. However there’s a different kind of baby shower cake that is filled with all sorts of useful gifts for the mom-to-be. One very popular choice in this area is a gift that really does resemble a tiered wedding cake. However instead of being made of flour, sugar and eggs, it’s created from the one thing a new mom can never have too many of - diapers.
These decorative 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 use them. However giving diapers in this form turns a necessary but dull gift into an occasion for laughter for the guests and the mom-to-be.
Piled high and covered with other pretty items that really do make it look like the genuine article, diaper cakes are not only practical but also fun and the recipient can peel them off one at a time as needed. Exactly like eating a wedding cake that will last for days or weeks, this gift offers 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 highly appreciated by the mother-to-be. Silk roses and ceramic baby blocks and more set on a scalloped silver platter make this a gift that won’t be put away the closet after the party. You’ll find the blocks decorating the shelf in the baby’s room and the silk roses displayed on the mantle, while the silver platter is used to liven up the dining table on future special occasions.
Take a look at the full range of baby shower cakes available nowadays and you will be astounded by all the creative options.
And, remember to order the real thing for the party while you are at it.
