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 ingenious and attractive baby shower cakes make the perfect gift for the event. Everyone thinks of giving diapers to the mother-to-be and she will certainly use them. However giving them in this form turns a needed but ordinary gift into an opportunity for laughter for the guests and the guest of honor.
Piled high one on top of another and covered with decorative items which really do make it just look like the genuine article, diaper cakes are not only fun but also practical and the recipient can simply peel them off one at a time as required. Like eating a wedding cake which can last for days or weeks, this gift affords its own storage bin.
This same design idea has been used with great success for many other baby shower gifts. The artificial wedding cake can be filled with any type of toys for the baby, gifts for the about-to-be mother and father 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.
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.
