Everyone is lining up to purchase diaper cakes for their upcoming baby showers. At every baby shower more and more people see these cakes made entirely of diapers for the first time and they fall in love with them. When the time comes for these people to be in charge of a baby shower or to attend another baby shower, they remember the cakes and know right away that they want to purchase one for their own party. This is how the cakes have caught on around the world: word of mouth.
The question that many people have is not whether or not they want to purchase diaper cakes, but whether their cakes should come from a professional baby cake maker with lots of experience working with diapers in this fashion, or if it should be a labor of love that they learn to make at home on their own.
Homemade Cake Advantages
Many people who learn to make their own diaper cakes feel that a homemade gift has more sentimental value than a gift prepared by someone unknown. This applies somewhat to cakes made of diapers, but not entirely. Even when you purchase a cake of this type, you know that it is being put together by hand by someone somewhere in the world.
Even though you aren't technically doing the work yourself, you are handing a homemade gift to your guest of honor in the sense that it was homemade by someone else. Yet, some people aren't satisfied with that and like the idea of putting the cake together themselves so it means something extra special.
Another advantage to making the cakes at home is saving some money. Though you still have to purchase diapers, rubber bands, ribbon and a variety of other supplies, you aren't paying someone else for their time putting everything together and there are never any shipping charges involved.
The only biggest cost is in love and time!
Professional Cake Advantages
Yet, most people who use baby shower diaper cakes for their baby showers will purchase premade products because they simply don't have the time or skill required to make their own. While it may seem simple to put a bunch of diapers together in circular tiers and wrap some ribbon around, it is actually a more complicated process than that.
When you purchase your diaper cakes already assembled you don't have to waste your time trying to figure out the process and you don't have to worry about the cake not looking professionally put together. You know it will look absolutely perfect because someone who has many other cakes put it together with lots of care and attention to detail.
Making Your Decision
You can decide which of these options is best for you by asking yourself how much time you want to spend on this project and if you believe you have the skill needed to put everything together perfectly. If you are unsure on either point, it is best to purchase a professionally made cake of diapers.
