What is a diaper cake?

A diaper cake, also known as a baby cake, could quite possibly be the perfect gift for new mothers and fathers.  First, between two and six tiers are created from hand rolled and folded premium disposable or cloth diapers (depending on the type of cake) in the shape of a traditional wedding cake.  Each tier is then decorated and filled with the essential items and clothing that a new baby will need and a parent will appreciate.  Ribbon and decorations are then added to the exterior of the cake to match the overall theme.  The great thing about diaper cakes from Rattlecake.com is that all ingredients are 100% usable and once the baby arrives, all diapers and accessories can be utilized by the baby.  Although these handcrafted cakes are inedible, they are sure to make a "sweet" impression on the recipients.

When should I give one as a gift?

A diaper cake makes a great gift at pretty much any point during or after a pregnancy.  Since our diaper cakes are immediately wrapped in a 1.6 mil cellophane bag and tightly sealed with a ribbon once they are completed, they will remain fresh until they are opened for use.  Rattlecake diaper cakes make the perfect present for moms or dads at:

• Baby Showers (they make a great centerpiece)
• Hospitals (congratulate the new parents with a beautiful diaper cake while they are recovering)
• Work (purchase a diaper cake for an expecting employee or co-worker)
• Home (a new mother or father is sure to appreciate this thoughtful gift)
