What you will need:

Step 1:

The first thing you will need to do is roll your diapers. Starting at the open end of the diaper, roll your diapers and then secure them with a rubber band. Repeat until all diapers are rolled and secured. 93 diapers may seem like many diapers to roll, but it goes by fast.

Step 2:

Put together the base for your diapers to go around. For the base, you will take your 16″ cake round and hot glue the bottom of the champagne bottle to the cake round. Adding a nice bottle of champagne is our preferred choice! It’s great to support for the diaper cake and a nice surprise for the mom-to-be.

Step 3:

Now it’s time to start layering on the diapers. Keeping the seams of the diapers in towards the champagne bottle, line one layer of diapers around the champagne bottle and secure the layer by placing one large rubber band around the diapers and champagne bottle.

Step 4:

For the second tier, add in skewers for extra support. Stick the skewers in the diaper cake as close to the champagne bottle as possible and poke the bottom of the skewer into the cake stand to secure it.
