Diaper Cake Ideas

There are several styles of diaper cakes but one of the most elegant are the ones done in modern designs and patterns. They aren't fashioned after any characters but instead use updated color schemes, ribbons, bows and dried flowers for the trim.

These diaper cake ideas come from the same sorts of popular prints you'd find in today's clothing, handbags, and scarves. They may be sedated blends of blue and brown or mauve and pink or they may be vibrant blues and greens but with polka dot, beaded ribbon.

Some of the most unique diaper cake ideas are the ones that are a complete activity play set. There are race car themed diaper cakes for boys and garden delight diaper cakes for girls. These diaper cakes are fun and incredibly cute, with neat little baby gift accessories that are truly special.

As much as we don't want to pigeon hole children into gender specific roles or tastes, there is no escaping the delicious prettiness of pink diaper cakes for girls. The flowers are bold and feminine and the cakes are often delicate and trimmed with pretty ribbon and bows.

Yellow flowers and duck diaper cake themes are also great ideas. A duck diaper cake is great for decorating with bath items and floating, rubber duckies.

As the mother of all boys, I am partial to the neat ideas for boy diaper cakes. I have a lot of blue baby items as keepsakes from when my children were born.

Baby boy diaper cakes in themes of blue can be decorated with soft stroller blankets in great blue patterns or in solids. Baby wash clothes and hooded towels also make great diaper cake covers for the different layers or tiers. I know I had a cute set of baby nail trimmers, a brush, and a comb that came on a diaper cake for one of my boys. I used those for years!

My brother has twin boys - my sweet nephews (now 15) - and I remember how busy those two kept him and my sister-in-law! There's no way around it, twins are more work and more expense. They're also more than twice the fun, though!

When you need to come up with diaper cake ideas for twins, you have choices. You can do one cake for each child or you can do one cake but add extra items for each child. Either way works. Just keep in mind that the expecting parent might really (really) benefit from multiple cakes because those extra diapers are going to be much appreciated!
