Anyone have a sense of when diaper cakes became a popular baby shower decoration / gift?

A diaper cake is basically anywhere from 40-70 diapers that are wrapped up with ribbons and bows and are filled either on the inside or the outside with gifts such as bottles, pacifiers, socks, washcloths and toys! Some even have lotions, soaps, bibs, clothes,etc too!

This way you have a beautiful diaper cake to give the lucky Mom-to-be which she has the joy of pulling apart and finding all the treasures inside or outside too! This is the unique way of giving her all those essentials she is going to need, especially the diapers in a much cuter way then her opening up a package of diapers, etc!! Then dolled up with ribbons and bows and little cute cutouts so it's ultimately the perfect gift!! They have become "The" thing to give at showers!! :)

Check out my website and see the cakes for yourself, they truly are an adorable gift idea!! www.basketsbycarrie.com (under diaper cakes!!) If you know of anyone who'd like one spread the word...I offer 20% of any diaper cake order for all TwitterMom's, just mention TWITTER in the coupon area of the checkout!!

Great question, like I said your not the only one sweetie!! Have a great weekend!!

They are usually called baby shower cakes or baby diaper cakes and come in many sizes, shapes and styles!

Everything from diaper pinatas to college diaper cakes with collegiate themes!

They are the latest twist on the typical "baby gift baskets" (although they are still very popular).

Wow! Love the cupcakes! They are so cute. Cupcakes are in style in any fashion (edible and the diaper version). :)

We just started our diaper cake business and have been super busy! So, if anything they are still popular!
