A Baby Shower Cake With A Difference

Perhaps you believed that baby shower cakes were simply a delicious dessert served to your guests... Well, that's without doubt one kind of cake. However there is a different kind of baby shower cake that is filled with all kinds of useful gifts for the about-to-be mom. One very popular choice in this area is a gift that really does resemble a multi-tiered wedding cake. But rather than being made of eggs, flour and sugar, it is built from the one thing a new mother 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 definitely be able to use them. However giving diapers in this form turns a necessary but mundane gift into an occasion for laughter for both the guests and the guest of honor.

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

The same idea has been used with great success for lots of other unique baby shower gifts. The fake wedding cake can be filled with any type of toys for the baby, gifts for the mom-to-be and lots more.

After all, it isn't only diapers which the happy couple will shortly. Baby oil, baby powder, lotion, ointment and many similar hygiene products are common items for the nursery. At about 32 inches high, you will find these cakes hold plenty of these necessities. 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 offer dozens of most useful gifts and forms a fabulous decoration as the centerpiece for the baby shower table. Simply peel off the outer layers and enjoy the teething ring, pacifier, rattle and more that will assuredly be used. Open it up and find socks, a manicure set, a brush and comb and many other equally useful presents.

A few baby shower cakes will contain only decorative items, but these too will be highly appreciated by the mother-to-be. Silk roses and ceramic baby blocks and much more set on a silver platter mean that this is one gift that won't be shoved in the closet after the party. You will see the blocks decorating the shelf in the baby's room and the silk roses on the mantle, while the silver platter is used to liven up the table on special occasions.

Take a look at the full range of baby shower cakes on offer nowadays and amaze yourself with the number of highly creative options.

And, don't forget to order the real thing for the party while you're at it.
