Maybe you thought that baby shower cakes were merely a delicious dessert served at the party... Well, that is undoubtedly one kind of cake. However there is another kind of baby shower cake that is filled with all sorts of practical gifts for the about-to-be mom. One extremely popular choice in this area is a gift that really does remind you of a multi-tiered wedding cake. However rather than being made of sugar and flour and eggs, it's built from the one thing that a new mom can never have too many of - diapers.

These decorative and ingenious baby shower cakes make the perfect gift for the occasion. Everyone thinks of giving diapers to the mother-to-be and she will definitely be able to use them. However giving them in this way turns a necessary but unexciting gift into an opportunity for laughter for both the guests and the mom-to-be.

Piled high one on top of another and covered with other pretty items that really do make it look like the the real thing, these diaper cakes are not only practical but also fun and the guest of honor can simply peel them off one at a time as required. Just like eating a wedding cake that will last for days or weeks, this particular gift affords its own storage bin.

The same idea can be used with great success for lots of other baby shower gifts. The false wedding cake can be filled with any type of toys for the baby, gifts for the expectant mother and much more.

After all, it is not only diapers that the happy couple will shortly. Baby oil, baby powder, ointment, lotion and many related hygiene products are commonly needed items for the nursery. At roughly 32 inches high, you'll see these cakes hold plenty of these necessities. Booties, terry cloth towels, a baby cap and several other clothing items are part of the package too.

Even the smaller two-tiered baby shower cakes offer dozens of most useful gifts and makes a wonderful decoration as the centerpiece for the baby shower table. Simply peel off the outer layers and enjoy the pacifier, teething ring, rattle and more that will definitely be used. Open it up and find a brush and comb, a manicure set, socks and many other equally useful presents.

Some baby shower cakes will contain only decorative items, but these too will be much appreciated by the mother-to-be. Ceramic baby blocks, silk roses and much more set on a scalloped silver platter mean that this is one gift that won't be shoved in the closet after the party. You'll discover the blocks decorating the shelf in the baby's room and the silk roses on the mantle, while the silver platter livens up the dining table on future special occasions.

Discover the full range of baby shower cakes available today and you will be amazed by the number of highly creative options.

And, do not forget to order the real thing for the baby shower while you're at it.
