Diaper Cakes for Boys

When you’re planning a baby shower for a new boy, going with blue seems like the inevitable choice. While the room for the party will be covered in blue decorations and the parents are bound to receive several pastel blue-colored gifts, the diaper cake – often the centerpiece for the shower – is often blue, as well. Styles for diaper cakes for boys cover this familiar blue territory but also include many other options appropriate for a new baby boy.

Baby shower diaper cakes for boys by Rattlecake include several necessary items. As a diaper cake, in general, is considered to be practical and fun, each contains 80 to 150 diapers and many basic baby products, such as blankets, clothing, and toys, that new parents will need. In the case of diaper cakes for newborn boys, these products are often blue. A light blue blanket, for example, may adorn the body of the cake, while a blue and white plush animal may be perched on top. The entire package, additionally, will be put together with pastel blue ribbon.

Aside from basic blue, sports themes are common for various diaper cakes for boys. These cakes, while still sticking with blue as a general color, often incorporate other shades, such as orange, yellow, white, or red, into the design. Attached to the cake are various sports-themed baby products. Some designs by Rattlecake, for example, have sports-themed blankets wrapped around the outside, while soccer or baseball-shaped rattles are attached. Others have a football-shaped basket on the second tier of the cake.

Many gender-neutral cakes are also appropriate for a baby shower for a new boy. Such diaper cakes use green, yellow, or brown colors and often have an animal theme. Monkeys and teddy bears are often popular gender-neutral diaper cakes that will fit right in at a baby shower for a boy. Other designs, with turtles, frogs, or safari animals, are also appropriate.
