A diaper cake is a creative and practical way to give a new parent everything they need to get started with diaper changing. And while there are many ways to make a diaper cake, not all of them require rolling up dozens of diapers into tight little cylinders. If you want to avoid the rolling altogether, here is how to make a diaper cake without rolling a single diaper.
You will need:
– 48-60 diapers (depending on the size of the cake you want to make)
– A large cake pan
– A smaller cake pan
– A sharp knife
– Rubber bands
– Decorative ribbon
– Baby bottles, rattles, or other small baby items (optional)
To begin, you will need to fold each diaper into a triangle. To do this, simply take the diaper and fold one side over about an inch from the edge. Then, fold the other side over, overlapping the first side. Finally, fold the bottom of the diaper up to meet the two sides. You should now have a nice, neat triangle.
Next, you will need to arrange the diapers in the cake pan. Start by placing a layer of diapers around the edge of the pan, with the point of the triangle facing in. Continue adding layers of diapers, working your way towards the center of the pan. When you get to the center, you may need to cut some of the diapers in half so that they fit snugly.
Once all of the diapers are in place, it’s time to start working on the cake itself. Begin by placing the smaller cake pan upside down in the center of the large pan. Then, begin stacking the diapers around the smaller pan, using rubber bands to secure them in place. When you get to the top, you can remove the smaller pan and insert baby bottles, rattles, or other small baby items into the center of the cake.
Finally, it’s time to decorate. Use the decorative ribbon to wrap around the base of the cake, and then tie it in a bow. You can also use the ribbon to create a nice border around the top of the cake. And that’s it! You’ve now created a beautiful and practical diaper cake without having to roll a single diaper.
Gather the Supplies
A diaper cake is a creative and practical way to give a new parent a stockpile of diapers. But, instead of being made out of cake, a diaper cake is made out of—you guessed it—diapers! And while they may look complicated, they’re actually quite simple to make. Here’s how to make a diaper cake without rolling a single diaper.
First, you’ll need to gather your supplies. For this project, you’ll need:
-A package of diapers (preferably size 1 or 2)
-A cake pan
-A cake board or plate
-A hot glue gun
-A sharp knife
-Ribbon
-Decorations (optional)
Once you have your supplies, you’re ready to start assembling your cake.
Start by folding each diaper in half lengthwise. Then, stack the diapers in the cake pan, starting with the folded edge facing down. Continue stacking the diapers until the cake pan is full.
Once the pan is full, use the hot glue gun to secure the diapers in place. Start by running a line of glue around the edge of the pan, and then continue filling in the center of the cake. Be sure to use enough glue to really secure the diapers, as you don’t want them falling out when you start decorating.
Next, use the knife to cut a hole in the center of the cake. This will be where you insert the cake board or plate. The hole doesn’t have to be perfect, as you can cover it with ribbon or decorations later.
Now, it’s time to start decorating! If you’re using ribbon, start by wrapping it around the base of the cake. You can secure the ribbon with hot glue, or use double-sided tape. Then, continue wrapping the ribbon around the cake, working your way up to the top.
If you’re using decorations, now is the time to add them. You can hot glue them directly to the cake, or use double-sided tape.
And that’s it! Your diaper cake is now complete.
Prepare the Base of the Diaper Cake
A diaper cake is a creative and practical way to give a new mom-to-be the diapers she’ll need for those first few months. And, unlike a traditional cake, a diaper cake can be made without any baking! Here’s how to make a diaper cake without rolling a single diaper:
1. Start by gathering the supplies you’ll need. In addition to diapers, you’ll need a cake or cupcake pan, some ribbon, and some sort of decorations.
2. Next, fold the diapers into thirds. You can use a diaper pin to secure them, but this isn’t necessary.
3. Line the cake or cupcake pan with the diapers, making sure that the folded edges are facing up.
4. Once the pan is lined with diapers, start filling it with baby items like clothes, burp cloths, bibs, etc.
5. When the pan is full, tie a ribbon around the outside to secure the contents.
6. Finally, decorate the diaper cake however you’d like! This is the fun part, so get creative.
And there you have it! A simple, no-bake diaper cake that any new mom would love.

Secure the Diapers in Place
A diaper cake is a creative and practical way to give a new parent a stack of diapers while also providing a decorative item for the nursery. The best part is that you don’t have to be a professional cake decorator to make a beautiful diaper cake.
There are a few different ways to make a diaper cake, but the most common is to roll each individual diaper into a tight cylinder, then stack the rolled diapers into a cake shape. This method can be time consuming, and if you’re not careful, the rolled diapers can come undone.
A much easier way to make a diaper cake is to secure the diapers in place with rubber bands. This method is much faster, and the end result is just as cute as a traditional diaper cake.
Here’s what you’ll need to make a diaper cake without rolling the diapers:
-A package of diapers (I used Pampers Swaddlers, but any brand will work)
-A large rubber band
-A cake plate or platter
-Ribbon
-Scissors
-Optional: decorations like fake flowers, stuffed animals, etc.
To start, simply stack the diapers in a pyramid shape on top of the cake plate or platter. Once you have a pyramid of diapers, take the large rubber band and wrap it around the diapers to secure them in place.
Now you can start decorating your cake! I like to wrap the ribbon around the base of the cake, then add some fake flowers or other decorations. You can get as creative as you want with the decorations, just make sure that anything you use is safe for a newborn baby.

A diaper cake is a great way to show off your creative side while giving a practical and memorable gift to a new mom. Plus, it’s a great way to use up those extra diapers you may have around the house! Here’s how to make a diaper cake without rolling a single diaper.
Start by selecting a cake pan that is slightly smaller than the size of the cake you want to make. You’ll need about two and a half times as many diapers as the cake pan can hold. For example, if you’re using an 8-inch cake pan, you’ll need about 20 diapers.
Fold each diaper in half lengthwise and stack them in the cake pan, making sure to stagger the folds so that they’re not all lined up perfectly. Once you have a good stack of diapers, start shaping them into a cake.
Start by gently pressing down in the center of the stack and working your way outwards, shaping the sides of the cake as you go. Once you have the basic shape of the cake, you can start decorating it.
Use a rubber band or piece of ribbon to secure a layer of diapers around the outside edge of the cake. This will create a nice border for your cake.
Now it’s time to start adding the decorations! You can use anything you like to decorate your cake. Some popular options include baby clothes, stuffed animals, burp cloths, bibs, and receiving blankets.
Simply drape or arrange the items around the cake, using rubber bands or ribbon to secure them in place. Once you’re happy with the way your cake looks, it’s time to add the finishing touches.
Top the cake with a baby bottle, pacifier, or other small baby item. You can also add a ribbon around the base of the cake or around the top.
Now your cake is ready to be presented as a gift! Be sure to take a picture of the finished product before you give it away so you can remember how cute it was.
