Cake making sequence
This cake is made using the method of folding diapers into tubes. An alternative method is fan laying.
1. Cut out a large circle from cardboard for a cake stand.
2. If the product is planned with 2 or 3 tiers, then it is better to prepare two cardboard circles and fold them, directing the stiffeners at an angle of 90 degrees.
3. Next, place the circles in the center of the foil sheet and fold the edges towards the center.
We fix the edges of the sheet with tape and cut off the excess.
We glue a paper napkin for cakes to the front of the stand with double-sided tape.
The stand is ready.
4. Roll up the prepared diapers into rolls, starting from the elastic band.
We fasten the tubes with pre-washed and dried rubber bands.
After all the diapers are folded, we begin to form the tiers.
5. The upper tier consists of 8-10 tubes.
An elastic band is used to secure the tubes.
6. For the second tier you will need 14-18 tubes. Inside you can put diapers folded in half.
7. The third tier is made up of the remaining tubes. Then you need to evaluate the proportions of the cake and assemble the rows on the stand.
8. Next, each tier needs to be decorated with satin ribbons.We wrap the tape around the tubes and measure the required length.
We fasten the ends with a glue gun and get a ring of tape.
We put ribbons on the tiers and disguise the stationery rubber bands.
Proceeding similarly, we decorate the tiers with paper ribbons.
9. A small soft toy needs to be fixed at the very top of the cake. We tie it with a thin white ribbon.
Next, we pass the ends of the ribbon down under wide satin ribbons and tie them under the lower tier.
Align the position of the toy.
10. Decoration can be done using any elements. You can use floral decor butterflies on clothespins and fishing line.
Paper bows are securely fixed with a glue gun.
A small bright rattle will be an additional gift.
11. The finished cake is wrapped in transparent packaging film and decorated with a bow.
A diaper cake gift for a newborn baby and her parents is ready.
