If you have never seen `that` episode of Sex and the City, (or you are not `up` on the latest in gifts for new parents) then you may not be aware of what a Diaper Cake is. If this is the case you will certainly be pleasantly surprised! For despite its name, which certainly conjures up images of pooey nappies, a Diaper Cake is in fact a gorgeous carefully crafted piece of art, that proves that something can be both beautiful and useful! For years Diaper Cakes have been the first choice gift to give new parents in America and Australia and recently Diaper Cakes (or Pamper/Nappy Cakes) have made a mark on the UK market. But, what exactly is a Diaper Cake? Well, essentially a Diaper Cake is a present for new parents, which looks like a beautiful cake, but is in fact cleverly made up using nappies (or diapers as they are known in America), it is also composed of and adorned with bibs, cuddly toys, baby grows, rattles, teething rings, baby lotion, baby wipes, baby blankets, baby manicure set, baby towels, etc... and so on! Basically, all the things that new parents need! Of course you could present someone with all these gifts just as they come from the shop and whilst nappies are terrible expensive and new parents will be grateful for a packet of fifty (the amount you usually get in a Diaper cake), a Diaper cake is definitely a more glamorous, cute and aesthetically pleasing way to present these gifts! Diaper Cakes (Pamper Cakes/ Nappy Cakes) come in a vast array of designs. The designs are usually tiered to allow room for all the plush lovely gifts that they are made up from and they look kind of like a wedding cake, albeit one for a baby. You can get Diaper Cakes specifically designed for boys (i.e.. blue themed) or girly pink Diaper Cakes, or non gender specific cakes - usually in yellow or white. You can even get twin themed Diaper Cakes! Most of the stores that sell Diaper Cakes hand make them, so you can be assured they are of the highest quality and include the right ingredients! Diaper cakes range massively in price, so you can choose to be as extravagant or pay as little as you like! Starting prices are usually around �29.99 and costs can go up to and in some cases even exceed �100! For a small Diaper cake you can expect to get more of a `cupcake` design, rather than a three extravagant tiered wedding cake style! However, the presents are still practical and gorgeous and will most certainly be appreciated! You can purchase Diaper Cakes online (try using a search engine and looking for `Nappy Cakes` or `Pamper Cakes` to get UK website results) or you may be able to purchase them from specialist baby shops. So, if you have been invited to a baby shower, friends or relatives of yours have just had a baby, your wife or girlfriend is pregnant or has just given birth or someone close to you has just announced they are pregnant and you are looking for an unusual gift idea – assuming you have discounted show stopping sexy hotmilk maternity pregnancy underwear – then you should consider purchasing for them a Diaper Cake. You will certainly make an impression with this gift and the parents of the baby will find that it is incredibly useful. Indeed, the only complaint you are likely to receive if you purchase a gift of a Diaper cake is that the newborns parents might find that they cannot bring themselves to break the cake up to get to the goodies, because it is simply too cute and beautiful to destroy! |
