Things That Confuse Me: Diaper Cakes
Thursday, May 13th, 2010By Glinda
I wonder who the first person was that thought it was a fantastic idea to take disposable diapers, stack them like layers of a wedding cake, and put flowers on them. Oh, and then charge a small fortune for them on top of it.
Here you are, having your perfectly nice baby shower, when someone waltzes in with one of these creations. I’m sure they look nice, but then what? Obviously, you can’t eat them. “Diaper” just isn’t ever going to be a viable cake flavor. Then, I’m sure the thing is a pain the the ass to take apart, because the whole concept just isn’t natural and can only be achieved by what must be quite a bit of tape. So to get to your perfectly useful diapers, you’ve got to unwind the ribbon and take off all the flowers, which sounds like a very un-fun way to spend the time.
I’ll just take a regular pack of diapers, please. No need to even gift-wrap them.
Oh, and a real piece of cake.
