"The baby shower was months ago, but the office is still abuzz about the baby diaper cake centerpiece." An amazing gift to give an expectant mother is a diaper cake.

The cake can be designed to match any baby shower theme. The ribbon, flowers and bows can be selected to coordinate with any baby shower.

With more and more expectant moms focusing on optimal nutrition during their pregnancies, a diaper cake makes a great alternative to the sugar and lard laden bakery cake that is at most baby showers. As the host you can present the diaper cake on the goody table with healthful alternatives to the sugary choices that most obstetricians forbid mothers from indulging in. A diaper cake is the perfect choice for the diabetic mom. She gets the beauty and creativity of a cake, but not the high glucose levels.

The real treat comes when the new mom gets to take apart the diaper cake and see all of the useful items that were tucked away inside. Some diaper cakes boast things like bottles, rattles, baby blankets and toys. Other great diaper cake treasures are gift certificates to the new parents' favorite restaurants. The diaper cake giver could even sneak in the cake a few movie tickets for the expectant parents to enjoy before the baby arrives.

Another way to view the unique gift of a baby diaper cake is to see it as a Baby Supply Jump Start Package that will surely leave a lasting impression on the new mom, the gracious host and the rest of the baby shower guests.

Diaper cakes come in all shapes and sizes. You can choose from 2 - 4 tiered cakes. Some diaper cakes come with each individual diaper rolled into a cylinder and then each of the cylinders are then banded together to construct the cake. Another construction method is to take the baby diapers and wrap them over each other forming a large cylinder. Many times a baby bottle or a sturdy cardboard tube is used as the center of the diaper cake. One of the latest trends in diaper cake construction is baby diaper cupcake. These mini-cakes are made to match each other and then the gift giver or baby shower hostess can have a variety of ways of displaying the mini-cakes. Some creative diaper cake artists are making diaper mini-cakes into the shapes of animals and other cute objects, such as high heeled shoes or purses.

A unique alternative to the standard baby shower gift is a baby diaper cake. Diaper cake can show the gift giver's flare and style, while coordinating the cake to the baby shower theme.
