Diaper Cakes



Many will certainly have never heard of this concept, however some who are experienced in the world of baby showers may have heard of this "fun" new concept.

The first time many people learn about this item is when a baby shower is being planned. A baby shower is a party thrown to celebrate the upcoming upheaval of the life of the parents-to-be. It is typical to bring gifts to the event to help the parents get prepared. They usually bring things like, blankets, strollers, and vomit rags.

A new trend is to either buy or create a "diaper cake". This is a faux cake constructed of (unused) diapers and decorated with cutesy bits and pieces. Now it is my belief that there is a fine line between cute and crass. I just don't understand why you would want to construct a model of a cake (normally an edible item) out of diapers which are used to collect human waste matter. I mean, YUCK! Why don't people just finish off the event by serving punch in the toilet bowl and using rectal thermometers to stir the drinks?

I would eat a diaper cake, just don't serve me chocolate.
