Diaper cakes and baby showers are tailor made for each other!
They are one of the best presents you can give mommy-to-be at her shower.

Diaper cakes are certainly a very popular gift at these celebrations, and one that's much appreciated by the expectant mom!

Learn here five reasons why baby shower cakes (as these 'diaper creations' are also known) are great presents for mommy-to-be at showers:

1. Diaper cakes are made entirely of baby essentials. Like diapers, as the main ingredient, bottles, booties, socks, bibs, small toys, and receiving blankets... the list can go on. The cake more often than not contains many different diaper sizes, so they're useful as baby keeps growing. In fact, mommy-to-be gets a whole lot of baby stuff at one shot. No wonder she is happy with this diaper filled cake!

2. These special cakes look really fabulous. They are arranged in tiers, like a traditional cake (these tiers are made of diapers). The other pretty baby stuff is tucked into various spots on the tiers. The whole collection is beautifully packaged with transparent cellophane and tied with a lovely bow. They're huge, eye-catching and a real head-turner!

3. Does your shower have a theme? You can probable find a cake that fits that theme. That can make your selection easier and make your gift even more special, and the cake makes a wonderful centerpiece at the party.

4. If you're buying a shower cake, in many cases you can choose the 'ingredients'. But diapers, of course, are a must. Lots of the other items that go into a cake can be handpicked, which means you have a unique gift which is unlike what anyone else may give.

5. If you're a do-it-yourselfer, you can even make cakes yourself. It's quite easy, though it does need a bit of patience to get it just right. In that way your gift has a genuine personal touch.
