This is a diaper cake I made for a baby shower in October.  I found the inspiration here:  http://homemadebyjill.blogspot.com/2007/09/diaper-cake-tutorial.html I was on a tight budget for the shower, so I made some modifications to the design.  The cake is sitting on a metal platter from Deals ($1) and I gave it to the mom-to-be as part of the cake.  I used one size of diapers.  The cake took 2 packages of newborn diapers ($10 from Walmart) but there were significant diapers left over from the second bag.  I used a wrapping paper tube for the center of the cake (I unrolled the paper to use it :).  And did not worry about a cardboard support for each layer.  I used plain brown rubberbands as they were much less expensive than clear ones.  The doilies and ribbon were left over from a previous craft and the roses were made from the driections found here:  http://www.marthastewart.com/article/paper-roses?autonomy_kw=coffee%20filter%20roses  (The leaves were cut out of coffee filter scraps and painted with water diluted acryllic craft paint.)I did buy the filters and 2 tubes of water colors, but I have lots of that left over for another craft.   A beautiful arrangement of these roses would make a lovely Christmas or Birthday gift and could be accomplished in an afternoon.
