A Baby Shower Cake With A Difference

Perhaps you thought that baby shower cakes were merely a scrumptious dessert served to your guests... Well, that's undoubtedly one form of cake. But there's another kind of baby shower cake which is filled with all kinds of useful gifts for the about-to-be mom. One extremely popular choice in this area is a gift which really does look like a multi-tiered wedding cake. However rather than being made from sugar and flour and eggs, it is made from the one thing that a new mom can never have too many of - diapers.

These clever and attractive baby shower cakes make the perfect gift for the occasion. Everyone thinks about giving diapers to the expectant mother and she will certainly be able to use them. However giving them in this form turns a necessary but unexciting gift into an occasion for laughter for both the guests and the mom-to-be.

Piled high and covered with other pretty items that really do make it look like the the real thing, these diaper cakes are not only fun but also practical and the recipient can peel them off one at a time as required. Exactly like eating a wedding cake which can last for days or even weeks, this particular gift provides its own storage bin.

This same idea can be used successfully for lots of other baby shower gifts. The false wedding cake can be filled with all sorts of toys for the baby, gifts for the expectant mother and a lot more.

After all, it isn't only diapers that the happy couple will need soon. Baby powder, baby oil, ointment, lotion and many related hygiene products are common items for the nursery. At roughly 32 inches high, you will see these cakes hold many of these necessities. Booties, terry cloth towels, a baby cap 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 highly valued gifts and forms a fabulous decoration as a centerpiece for the baby shower table. Simply peel off the outermost layers and enjoy the rattle, teething ring, pacifier and more which will certainly be used. Open it up and discover socks, a manicure set, a brush and comb and many other equally useful presents.

Some baby shower cakes may house only decorative gifts, but these too will be much appreciated by the guest of honor. Silk roses and ceramic baby blocks and much more set on a scalloped silver platter mean that this is one gift that won't be shoved in the closet after the party. You will discover the blocks decorating 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 dining table on future special occasions.

Check out the full line of baby shower cakes on offer today and you will be amazed by all the creative options.

And, remember of course to order the real thing for the party while you're at it.
