Types of Diaper Cakes

There are so many events surrounding the birth of a child, from baby showers to christenings to birthday parties and everything in between. It can be very difficult finding gifts for these celebrations, especially when you try to find a way to give a useful, yet fun present. One of the best ways to straddle this line is by purchasing a diaper cake, which is not only made of all-important diapers, but of other items that parents and baby can enjoy. If you are buying a diaper cake for the first time, you should know about the different types of diaper cakes available to you.

Here are some things to look for when buying a diaper cake:

Types of Diapers – If there is one thing all parents know, it's that all diapers are not created equal. There are store-brand, name-brands, eco-friendly diapers, and cloth diapers, and any combination of these you can think up. Find out what types of diapers the new parents prefer and make sure your diaper cake is made of those. This personalizes the cake for the parents as well as the baby!

Accessories – It takes more than just diapers to care for a newborn. That's one of the reasons that different types of diaper cakes come with a number of accessories beyond just diapers. A fully stocked cake might have pacifiers, blankets, teethers and even Johnson and Johnson products as the icing on top! Don't let your gift be all about the diapers – the extras are special as well.

Toys – You might be thinking that diaper cakes are all about the diapers – after all, they are in the name! Although your chosen diaper cake will feature anywhere from three to five tiers of diapers, it will also be adorned with a number fun items for baby to play with. One diaper cake might feature a rattle, while others will feature stuffed animals. Think about what you would like your first present to a newborn to be and make sure to choose a diaper cake with that item on it.
