Quick answer
Build a Barnyard Babies diaper cake by stacking rolled Honest diapers into tiers, securing them with ribbon, and adding the included baby essentials like bubble bath or shampoo + body wash for a ready-made shower gift.
Why choose a Barnyard Babies theme?
The Barnyard Babies print features adorable farm animals that work for both boys and girls, making it a versatile choice for any baby shower. The Honest Company offers this design in both a Standard and Deluxe diaper cake, so you can pick the size that fits your gift budget.
Standard vs. Deluxe: what changes?
The Standard Barnyard Babies cake comes with 35 size 1 diapers and a 2 oz shampoo + body wash. The Deluxe version includes 70 size 1 diapers and a 2 oz bubble bath, plus extra nursery essentials. The building method is the same for both—just adjust the number of tiers or the height of each layer.
Step-by-step tutorial
- Unpack and sort the diapers: Remove all diapers from the cake packaging. Separate them into three groups: 20 for the bottom tier, 15 for the middle tier, and the rest (up to 35 for Standard or 35 for Deluxe) for the top tier. Keep the included shampoo + body wash or bubble bath aside. Common mistake: rolling diapers too tightly, which makes them hard to stack evenly. Roll gently so they hold shape without compressing.
- Roll each diaper and secure with a rubber band: Starting from the waistband, roll each diaper tightly toward the back. Secure each roll with a small rubber band. For a consistent look, roll all diapers in the same direction so the print faces outward. Checkpoint: if a diaper unrolls easily, use two rubber bands—one near each end—to keep it snug.
- Assemble the bottom tier: Arrange the rolled diapers in a circle on a flat surface, standing them on their ends with the print facing outward. Use a larger rubber band or ribbon to cinch them together. Place a round cardboard base or a plate underneath for stability. Common mistake: leaving gaps between diapers. Push them close together so the tier looks full and doesn't collapse.
- Build the middle and top tiers: Repeat the same circle arrangement for the middle tier (15 diapers) and top tier (remaining diapers). Each tier should be smaller in diameter than the one below. Stack the middle tier directly on the bottom, then the top tier on the middle. Checkpoint: if a tier wobbles, add a small cardboard circle between layers for a flat surface.
- Decorate and add the topper: Tie a ribbon around each tier to hide the rubber bands. Place the shampoo + body wash or bubble bath bottle on top of the cake. You can also add a small stuffed animal or a bow for extra flair. Common mistake: using a bottle that's too heavy for the top tier. The included 2 oz bottles are lightweight and stable.
