While this phrase is often attributed to the Queen of France, Marie Antoinette, there is no evidence to support that she ever uttered this phrase (and that concludes today's history lesson).
One of the most creative gifts we received at one of our showers was a three-tiered cake made out of diapers. So, I think I surprised some of my coworkers when I said I was making a Diaper cake for a co-workers shower, and didn't show up with a real cake (lol).
I found the "How to make a diaper cake" video here: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/876435/how_to_make_a_diaper_cake/
In addition to diapers, I added a white and pink baby bibs and baby onesies. While my cake wasn't a perfectly straight as the one in the video, it did look better than the version I have posted above. During my commute into the office, it slid off of the cake base (whaaaa!!!).
It ended up more like a mad hatter diaper cake... I guess it was the thought that counts, right?

hahah! My SIL does the diaper cakes all the time. I think its a brilliant idea!
This is a great idea!!! Things you can use, in a pretty package! I think you did a great job, it's very cute.
We made a diaper cake for our SIL's baby shower. It was fun to do. We added booties and bibs, and pacifiers, and I don't remember what else. It is a great decoration for a shower, with items that the parent to be can use.
