Bunny Diaper Cake Idea

Bunny diaper cake instructions given by Tammy Hertay from Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada.

Firstly, the bunny is completely made of diapers and baby items: infant shirt (bunny is wearing it), booties (bottom paws of the bunny), scratch mitts (upper paws of the bunny), wash cloths (bunny cheeks and carrot), & pacifier. Bunny whiskers are made of q-tips even the carrot stems. Wings came from a decorative butterfly, I removed the wings... poor butterfly :( (Look closely I even added a frog hair tie on one of the bunny ears (well didn't the princess kiss a frog?... that's why I have a frog there too)

Size 1 or 2 diapers
Elastics (small clear works the best)
Cardboard (White. If not normal is fine)
Wrapping paper
String
Candle

Making tiers
1st step: Roll required amount of diapers needed for 2-tiers. (elastic both ends of the diapers)

2nd STEP: (Light Candle)
- Cut four card board circles (13, 12.5", 9", & 4.5")
- if circles are cut out of brown cardboard wrap circles with wrapping paper.
- Place 4 holes in each of the cardboard circles large enough to pass the string through.
- Cut two pieces of string approximately a foot longer than twice the height of your finished cake.
- (now the candle comes into play) Take one end of the string dip 3 inches into the melted wax - let dry. Repeat for the second string. (This makes it a lot easier to thread string through the holes.)
- Feed the string through two separate holes from the bottom to the top and back down to the bottom.
- Tie all strings tightly at the bottom.
- Cut off excess string ends.
- Hot glue the bottom. Try to eye so that it's even on all sides... attach the now-cake to the 13" circle. you should now have a .5" lip.

SUPPLIES:
"It's a girl" ribbon
"Princess" Ribbon (2 different types)
Hot glue gun
Mini cloths pins (white)
(2) different color pink curling ribbon
White curling ribbon
String
Foam Tiara
2-sided tape
Pink Transparent paper

(plug in glue gun)
COVER TIERS:
- I usually start with the bottom tier. With a plush pink blanket pull so that there are no wrinkles and secure with diaper pins (never know if mom-to-be needs them)
- Top tier I used a receiving blanket. Keeping it pink! Pull so there are no wrinkles and secure.
- Take "it's a girl" ribbon. wrap around the bottom tier secure end with a dab of glue from glue gun.
- Take two pieces of "Princess" ribbon and wrap around the top tier 2" separating from the two. Securing with a dab of glue from glue gun.

ATTACHING BUNNY (or stuffed animal)
- Take 2 pieces of string approx 10" (e)... where the string securing the tiers crosses on top. Slide the string under. Take bunny (stuffy), place it where you want it and tie down each leg separately.

DECORATING
- Using the .5" lip measure the foam tiara around the cake. Cut. Hot glue bottom so that it will attach to the lip. Little by little glue and attach it to the lip 'til it's completely attached.
- Take the burp pad and make it so it looks as if the bunny (stuffy) is sitting on it. Tuck ends between the receiving blanket and rolled diapers.
- Take bib, "GENTLY" tuck under "princess" ribbons in front.
- on both sides of the bib with a push pin secure infant socks (toes pointing into the bib)
- Under socks place (1) bootie apply 2-sided tape to the bottom of the bootie secure to the top of the bottom exposed tier.
- also in front bottom tier take the pair of wrist rattles and tuck one side of the wrist band between the diaper and plush blanket.

SIDE (left)
- with push pin secure (1) on both sides (eyeing that they are both approx. in the same place)
- with one white mini cloths pin (found at a local craft store) clip a sock to the top "Princess" ribbon.
- Take the 2nd type of "Princess" Ribbon. Hold onto the shampoo bottle wrap the ribbon around tightly till both ends meet. Over lap .5 cm dab glue from glue gun and secure ribbon (ONLY) cut the excess. Take the shampoo and hold it against the cake where you want it. Move the ribbon you just put on so that it meets with the "princess" ribbon on the diaper cake. Dab glue on the shampoo hold against the "princess" ribbon on the cake HOLD till dry. (do this with hand sanitizer, powder and oil)
- Roll onesie (neatly) apply clear elastic to both ends then ribbons to curl (curl). Thread string at the back through the ribbon you just attached and feel for one center diaper under bunny and pull string threw diapers elastic tie.
- Use clothes pin to attach a second pair of booties on both sides of the baby powder.
- bottom tier has infant cap and diaper cover secured by push pin.
