Baby Shower Cakes With A Difference

Possibly you thought that baby shower cakes were just an appetizing dessert served at the party... Well, that is certainly one form of cake. But there is another kind of baby shower cake which is filled with all kinds of helpful gifts for the about-to-be mom. One of the most popular choices in this area is a gift which really can look like a tiered wedding cake. However instead of being made from flour, eggs and sugar, it's built from the one thing which a new mom can never have too many of - diapers.

These decorative and clever baby shower cakes make the perfect gift for the occasion. Everyone thinks about giving diapers to the expectant mother and she will certainly be able to use them. But giving diapers in this form turns a needed but dull gift into an opportunity for laughter for the guests and the guest of honor.

Piled high one on top of another and covered with decorative items which really do make it just look like the genuine article, diaper cakes are not only fun but also practical and the guest of honor can peel them off one at a time as required. Like eating a wedding cake that can last for days or weeks, the gift provides its own storage bin.

The same idea has been used successfully for many other baby shower gifts. The faux wedding cake can be filled with all sorts of toys for the baby, gifts for the mom-to-be and much more.

After all, it is not only diapers that the happy couple will need soon. Baby oil, baby powder, ointment, lotion and many similar hygiene products are all common items for the nursery. At approximately 32 inches high, you will find these cakes can hold many of these necessities. A baby cap, terry cloth towels and several other items of clothing are part of the package too.

Even the smaller two-tiered baby shower cakes can offer dozens of highly valued gifts and makes a marvelous decoration as a centerpiece for the baby shower table. Simply peel off the outermost layers and enjoy the rattle, pacifier, teething ring and more that will certainly get used. Open it up and discover a brush and comb, socks, a manicure set and other equally useful presents.

Some baby shower cakes will house only decorative gifts, but these too will be much appreciated by the mom-to-be. Silk roses and ceramic baby blocks and much more set on a scalloped silver platter mean that this is one gift that won't be shoved in the closet once the party is over. You will see the blocks decorating the shelf in the baby's room and the silk roses displayed on the mantle, while the silver platter livens up the table on future special occasions.

Discover the full line of baby shower cakes on offer today and you will be astounded by all the creative options.

And, do not forget of course to order the real thing for the shower while you're at it.
