A young couple of our acquaintance are expecting their first child, a boy. I was invited to the baby shower, but decided to just send a gift without attending. So I bought a giant box of diapers and made them a diaper cake that will double as a table centerpiece.
Dad is a hunter, and is eagerly looking forward to taking his son with him one day. I decided that a hunting theme would be appropriate for the "cake". This is what I came up with.
What do you think? I sure hope they like it! (And even if they don't the diapers will come in handy).

They will love it!
My goodness- that is just fabulous!!!! I have made much smaller and simpler diaper cakes and it is crazy how labor intensive the diaper portion is. And it is not inexpensive to make, either. That is really sensational!
very nice!
very nice well done
That is just wonderful! Beautifully done!
Yowza! I'm sure that will be the hit of the baby shower!
Splendid! That takes some doing, creativity and talent! Super job! I would never undo it- stash. it somewhere and bring it out when he has his first hunting trip, hoping like hell he is a bad shot....and still has a use for diapers.
I think it's incredible and beautifully personalized! I can't imagine them not loving it.
That is amazing! You are incredibly talented!
I've heard a diaper cakes and seen them but I never saw one done in a theme. Oh my God it's stunning and cute. But however will you send that? Won't that collapse if you ship it?
You’re amazing. How can they not love it!
They live nearby and the dad will be coming by tomorrow to pick it up. It's safely nestled down in a large Rubbermaid tote for transport.
That is an amazing 'cake'. I think they should keep it for ever!
Your gift is so creative, a diaper cake. Practical too.
I was going to ask the same as Maddie and am relieved to know it will be transported safely!
The "cake" is fantastic - you seriously could do this for a living, or at least a sideline, if you wanted to supplement your income. It looks great, and the little deer will come in handy as decorations around Christmas and later as toys for the child.
Congratulations on designing and constructing a truly original and useful gift. Fabulous!
Wow, any Mom to be would be impressed, and it will be the hit of the shower. Gigi
You are so clever, Jennifer! This looks great and I am sure it will be the hit of the party. You could make and sell these!
I have never in my life heard of a "diaper cake" but that is very clever!
