How to Make an Adorable Diaper Cake Boat - Baby Shower Gift Idea

Modified: Feb 21, 2025 by Vanessa Beaty · This post may contain affiliate links · 1 Comment

My sister’s baby shower is right around the corner, and I’m helping her plan it. So, I’ve had a great excuse to do a ton of crafting lately. And now it’s time to plan my present, and that means making a diaper cake!

How to Make an Adorable Diaper Cake Boat - Baby Shower Gift Idea

I tossed a lot of ideas around before settling on what to make, and I mean a lot. I already had a list of 25 charming baby shower gift ideas, including this adorable baby clothes bouquet. In the end, I decided that I would make the bouquet and a diaper cake.

I ended up going with a diaper cake boat because my sister is really into nautical stuff, and her husband works on a ship. So it seemed like the perfect choice. Plus, it turned out to be super easy! Check out the video:
