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!

Diaper Cakes make Tasty Baby Gfits

Silly Phillie® sells lots and lots of Diaper Cakes.  In fact, Diaper Cakes have been among our company’s best selling baby gifts for many years, right up there with Welcome Wagons and Rocking Horse gift sets. The popularity of Diaper Cakes extends well beyond Silly Phillie® though. There are more than a few online gift boutiques that have built a business selling just Diaper Cakes!

Those not familiar with the category are often surprised by the popularity of Diaper Cakes. After all, who would think that a gift made to look like an actual cake would be the choice of so many gift givers.

Reasons Why Diaper Cakes Are So Popular

It begins with the fact that Diaper Cakes are unique, playful and fun. Nothing captures the joyful spirit of a new baby quite as well as a diaper cake baby gift.

In addition, Diaper Cakes are usually large and impressive gifts. The sheer size and presentation of most multi-tied diaper cakes command attention, especially at a baby shower when surrounded by other gifts.

Finally, Diaper Cakes are more than just good looks. Well crafted diaper cakes like those from Silly Phillie® are made with essential items for baby, including diapers, layette items and newborn accessories.

Not all Diaper Cakes are created equal. For Example, some Diaper Cakes may look good but dig deeper and you’ll discover the components or “ingredients” are of inferior quality.

Silly Phillie® Diaper Cakes on the other hand are different. We make each diaper cake to order in the USA. In addition,  a proprietary cardboard form is used to ensure our diaper cakes keep their shape even after shipping. Lastly, we  make our cakes from quality 100% cotton layette items and premium quality diapers.

Silly Phillie® diaper cakes are sold directly at www.sillyphillie.com and at 1800flowers.com.
