Diaper Cake With Giant Elephant Plush from Silly Phillie

Are Diaper Cakes Sanitary?

A Diaper Cake makes a wonderful baby gift, but many people ask “are diaper cakes sanitary?”

Let’s start with a brief explanation of what a diaper cake is. To be sure, a diaper cake is not something to be eaten, say as dessert at a baby shower. In fact, the only connection to food is that diaper cakes are made to look like an actual cake with layers.

Instead, diaper cakes are made with useful items for a newborn baby. “Ingredients” include diapers (usually the disposable type), layette items and a variety of infant accessories. Silly Phillie combines all three of these items to create it’s unique diaper cakes.

Are Diaper Cakes Sanitary?

The short answer to this question is…it depends. Some diaper cakes like those made by Silly Phillie are 100% sanitary. Others not so much. The most important step in keeping a diaper cake sanitary is to  wrap all included diapers with a protective cover. Disposal diapers after all cannot be washed before use. You’d be surprised to learn that many other diaper cakes come with unwrapped diapers.

It is less important to wrap layette and accessories because those items can and should be washed before use,  However, that doesn’t mean those items should be unprotected.  Silly Phillie takes the extra step of wrapping the entire diaper cake with clean, clear cello. This serves to keep the components sanitary, while also enhancing the beauty of the presentation.

How long has Silly Phillie been making diaper cakes?

Silly Phillie began making diaper cakes over 30 years ago. As a matter of fact, we were the first company to build a viable business around diaper cakes and other unique baby gifts. Prior to that diaper cakes were made mostly by hobbyists working at home. It is said that the idea for diaper cakes was conceived in the UK in 1988 by a women named Jennifer Steadman. Be that as it may, no company today makes or sells more diaper cakes than Silly Phillie!
