Nappy Cake

Here's a neat idea for a 'baby shower' gift for the expectant mother. Ellen Buith explains how to create a nappy cake.

Ingredients:

• 1 pack of nappies
• Ribbons
• A big plate
• Cellophane
• Small rubber bands
• Lollies
• Small gifts such as socks, rattle, bottle, toys, spoons, singlets, gift vouchers, something for the new mother.
• Paper doilies (optional)

How to make it:

1. Roll all nappies up individually and secure them with a rubber band
2. 
3. Put the first layer of about 12-15 nappies together, standing on a plate. Put some presents in the middle; clothing is easy because it's flexible. Tie a ribbon around them to hold them together.
4. 
5. The second layer will need about 7-9 nappies, depending on what you put in it. The last layer has 3-5. (You could put paper doilies between layers). Tie ribbons around them and put the third layer on top.
6. Use gifts to decorate your cake. Pop a small teddy, monkey or other soft toy on top.
7. Wrap in cellophane and decorate the cake with lots of colourful ribbons.

Your nappy cake will impress any expecting mother!

  Where do you get cellophane long and wide enough to cover it to the top?
