What is a diaper cake you ask?

Well, although the history of the diaper cake is unclear, diaper cakes have been around for a very long time.

Women have been adorning their expectant loved-ones with these crafty little creations -- originally made from cloth diapers and including such items as diaper pins and glass baby bottles for generations.

In recent years, diaper cakes have gained in popularity and the surge in interest and demand has been attributed to several television shows (such as "Sex in the City") and celebrity Baby Showers that have featured them as the perfect gift for the mom-to-be.

The innovative design and astounding creativity that has emerged in this craft trade has also helped to launch their popularity.

Don’t Eat the Cake! Diaper Bakery & Inedible Treats was founded in late 2008 by Taunia Kipp who, after years of creating unique diaper cake gifts for friends and family as a simple hobby, was convinced to offer them to the public due to growing demand from expectant moms and their loved ones who had heard about Taunia’s creations.

Since its inception, Don’t Eat the Cake! has expanded to offer gift cakes for all occasions crafted out of 100% usable items... A gift that keeps on giving. The cakes are constructed so that nothing is permanently affixed, making it easy for the recipient to begin using the cake’s ingredients at will.

Although diaper cakes are the company’s specialty (combining items such as diapers, baby bottles, bibs, onesies, pacifiers, teethers, rattles, etc.), the company also offers towel cakes for every occasion with cake designs currently available for the following occasions:

- Bridal Showers
- Wedding Gifts

- Off-to-College
Birthday (for any age)
- Humorous Birthday (such as our “Over-the-Hill cake” made from adult diapers)
- Bar or Bat Mitzvah
