So, last week, I shared the favors and bean salad from Liz’s recent baby shower. I’m back to show you a another detail of our Dragon Baby celebration…the baby shower gift cake 🙂
I bought a box of diapers as the base of my “cake” and then created the other layers with different types of gifts like wipes, baby medications and other fun stuff.
I even found some super adorable stickers with 1-12 months on it for baby pictures later.
I wrapped all of my layers in wrapping paper and tissue paper {I alternated}. Then, I put glue on the bottom of the second layer so that it would stick.
Once the glue was all dry and my gifts were set together {thanks to the help of some canned beans}, I was ready to decorate! I used some fun polka dot ribbon and wrapped it vertically on the “cake”. Then, I put some fun little toys on the outside and stuck them with double sided table.
Love things that serve two purposes: a gift for the mom to be AND an easy decoration!

I think this turned out super cute. And way unique compared to a diaper cake.
