Diaper Cake Questions

 

What is a diaper cake?

A diaper cake is basically a collection of items such as diapers, blankets, bibs, bath towels, bottles, pacifiers, and other baby items, which are assembled in a creative fashion to resemble a multi-tiered cake like those served at weddings.

 

What is a diaper cake “decoration”?

Diaper cake decorations are simple items that you attach to a diaper cake to make it look cute!  They include baby blankets, baby bibs, baby bath towels, baby bottles, pacifiers, teethers, small clothing items, baby toys, and small stuffed animals.

 

What is a diaper cake “tier”?

A tier is a group of diapers put on end and then assembled into a circular layer held together by cord or ribbon.

 

How do you make a diaper cake?

Making a diaper cake involves taking a large quantity of individual diapers, and forming them into several tiers of different diameters.  Then starting with the largest tier, you stack the remaining tiers on top of the largest one in descending order to resemble a multi-tiered cake.  Then all the tiers are fastened to each other for stability.  Finally, the cake is decorated with all sorts of baby gift items and necessities.

 

Who makes diaper cakes?

Diaper cakes are simple a craft, so anyone can make them with proper instruction.  Click here for more information on how to make a diaper cake.  Or you can click on the tab labeled “Make your own”.  Diaper cakes are also available for sale commercially by reputable companies like best-diaper-cakes.com.

 

Who buys diaper cakes?

Typically, a close friend or family member will throw a baby shower for an expecting mommy.  Since diaper cakes make excellent baby shower centerpieces, they are usually given by the host of the shower or one of the guest who attends the baby shower.

 

Who are diaper cakes given to?

They are most often given to expectant mommies at a baby shower.  However, the nice thing about diaper cakes is that they make a great gift for mommies who already have children.  Mommies with existing children often get overlooked for any sort of gift as it is not typical to throw baby showers for a second child and thereafter.  However, mommies still like getting gifts, and the 2nd child is no less of a huge occasion than the first.  Diaper cakes still make an excellent gift for these mommies because the ingredients (diapers, bibs, towels, etc) are always needed no matter how many children she already has.

 

Are there other names for a diaper cake?

Yes.  Diaper cakes are also referred to as “shower cakes”, “baby cakes”, and “baby shower cakes”.

 

Why do you offers cloth and 7th Generation diapers in addition to ordinary diapers?

There is mounting evidence that ordinary disposable diapers are a large environmental concern.  They occupy a significant percentage of space in landfills and use a large amount of natural resources to produce.  You can find sources to debate this, but arguably cotton diapers are more environmentally friendly than disposables. Of course convenience is the deciding factor to most parents who feel ordinary disposables are quicker and easier to use.

 

 Some parents feel that the trace amounts of chlorine used in manufacturing ordinary disposable diapers can be harmful to a baby’s skin.  So we also offer 7th generation diapers because they are chlorine free.  

 

We long for the day when a solution emerges that is both environmentally friendly and convenient.  Until then, we will let our customers decide which material we make their diaper cakes from.

 

E-Book Questions:

 

What is an e-book?

An e-book is simply a book, magazine, tutorial or other printed material that is delivered via email.  An e-book is sent to your e-mail address where you can open and read it with your own computer.  Once you open an e-book, you can often print some or all of it with your home printer.  Some of the advantages of an e-book over a printed version of the same material are free shipping because they are delivered via email and no waiting for e-books as they arrive almost instantly to your email inbox following payment.

Once you email me your e-book, can I print it?

Yes, our will permit you to print.  However you should know that not all e-books allow this.  Some are afraid there will be rampant piracy of their work.  We do clearly on our e-book that it is protected by copyright law.  Beyond that, we want you to use it in the way that is easiest for you.  If that means printing it out so you can read a hard copy and have it handy while you make your cakes, then this is fine with us.  We ask  that you don’t abuse this privilege by illegally duplicating it for resale!

 

What format is your e-book in?

Currently we are sending the e-book out in an Adobe (pdf) file.  You probably already have Adobe reading software preinstalled on your computer, but if you do not, simply click http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html and follow the download instructions.  When you have finished your download of this free software, you will be able to open up the (pdf) file containing your e-book.
