Possibly you were thinking that baby shower cakes were just a delicious dessert served to your guests... Well, that is certainly one kind of cake. However there's another kind of baby shower cake that is filled with all sorts of handy gifts for the about-to-be mom. One very popular choice in this area is a gift that really can resemble a tiered wedding cake. However rather than being made of sugar, eggs and flour, it is built from the one thing a new mom can never have too many of - diapers.

These decorative and clever baby shower cakes make the perfect gift for the occasion. Everyone thinks of giving diapers to the mother-to-be and she will certainly use them. However giving diapers in this form turns a necessary but dull gift into an occasion for laughter for the guests and the mom-to-be.

Piled high one on top of another and covered with decorative items which really do make it just look like the genuine article, diaper cakes are not only fun but also practical and the recipient can simply peel them off one at a time as required. Like eating a wedding cake which can last for days or weeks, this gift affords its own storage bin.

This same design idea has been used with great success for lots of other baby shower gifts. The artificial wedding cake can be filled with all sorts of toys for the baby, gifts for the expectant mother and lots more.

It is not only diapers, after all, that the happy couple will shortly. Baby oil, baby powder, lotion, ointment and many similar hygiene products are all common items for the nursery. At roughly 32 inches high, you'll find these cakes hold a lot of these necessities. A baby cap, terry cloth towels and several other items of clothing are all part of the package too.

Even the somewhat smaller 2-tier baby shower cakes can offer dozens of valuable gifts and provides a wonderful decoration as the centerpiece for the baby shower table. Just peel off the outer layers and enjoy the rattle, pacifier, teething ring and more which will assuredly be used. Open it up and find socks, a manicure set, a brush and comb and other equally useful presents.

A number of baby shower cakes will house only decorative items, but these too will be most appreciated by the mom-to-be. Silk roses and ceramic baby blocks and more set on a scalloped silver platter mean that this is one gift which won't be shoved in the closet once the party is over. You'll see the blocks lining the shelf in the baby's room and the silk roses displayed on the mantle, while the silver platter is used to liven up the dining table on special occasions.

Take a look at the full range of baby shower cakes on offer today and amaze yourself with the number of creative options.

And, don't forget of course to order the real thing for the baby shower while you're at it.
