Baby Showers are an increasingly popular trend and a lovely
way to celebrate mum-to-be and her soon-to-come-arrival with family &
friends. You can make your own personalised version of the popular “Nappy Cake”
for the mum to be with basic baby supplies and ribbon.
To make a cake like this you’ll need:
- · 40 nappies
- · Elastic bands, clear tape, safety pins.
- · Ribbon
- · Large Tray base
- · 2 Large Baby blankets
- · Small Mum & Baby supplies– wipes, breastfeeding shawl, brush & comb, talc, bibs, burp cloths, toys, creams, soothers, ointment etc.
Roll
up the baby blankets and secure with a safety pin. Roll up each nappy
separately and secure with an elastic band. Plan your ‘cake layers’ – for a
large nappy layer you’ll need approximately 20 nappies/ large blanket rolled up
and shaped into a circle, for smaller layers you’ll need only about 6 nappies
or a small blanket. Assemble on the tray to make lifting and transporting the
cake easier.
Separate the layers
with colourful burp clothes to look like icing.
To secure, you can use clear
tape and tie with ribbon or a shawl.
Once your layers are assembled, decorate the cake with the mum &
baby supplies and ribbon.
I made my cake
special for the mum to be with baby supplies & a Vaseline tub with a
personalised plain heart sticker decorated with marker and added a cute badge
& shawl at the top and bottom for the mum to be.
