Hold up. Did you say diaper... cake?
Yes. They're a great baby shower gift, because new parents can ~never~ get enough diapers, at least until their kiddo is potty trained. And they make for an awesome shower centerpiece. Here are 18 ways to make one:
1. An un-bee-lieveably cute bee cake.

2. A diaper hot air balloon.

3. A topsy-turvy cake wrapped in fun, colorful ribbon.

4. A "fondant-style" cake covered in little baby blankets.

5. A perfect princess cake that comes with a tutu.

6. A gorgeous giraffe-printed cake with pinwheels.

7. A dinosaur themed cloth diaper tower.

8. A motorcycle (or bicycle!) ridden by cute stuffed animal of choice.

9. A simple and classy Chuck Taylor cake.

10. A tower of diaper cupcakes.

11. A cake where the top tier is made from colorful washcloths and teething blankets.

12. A cake with fairy wings for the future costume closet.

13. A cloth diaper sushi platter (not cake, but it still counts).

14. An adorable gender-neutral cake and matching centerpiece.

15. A simple, spring-inspired version topped with silk flowers.

16. A quick and easy wreath to hang in the baby's bedroom.

17. A bassinet cake made from two shoeboxes.

18. A cake graced by Uglydolls, and whose most important feature is the secret inside.
