Baby Boy Names

Filed under: others-2 — Tags: , , , , — heights @ 9:33 pm


The name of your baby is very special for you. You are creating a new life and giving it a suitable name is very important decision. You will give a great start of life of your baby with the great name.

Name should be simple to pronounce, yet it should be uncommon and its meaning will give better idea about your child. So parents should do careful selection of the name.

If it is a baby boy then some communities have tradition of giving the grand father’s name to the grand child. But if that name is old fashioned or difficult then you can make better choice from the smaller and easier name with good meaning.

Boys are normally very active and attracted towards the speed and adventure. They like to become like superhero. The names for boys may include the names of great warriors.

While selecting the first name you should consider your surname. First name should match the surname. Not only it should compliment but also it should not make the full name very big name. If the surname is big then first name should be short.

You should always pay attention to the meaning of the name. The name with good meaning is better choice. Names with negative meanings should be avoided. The great sports man always impresses boys. It is a good idea to name your baby boy after a great player.

When your baby boy will grow he will have to communicate through e-mail, Internet, chat, phones and mobile phones. It is advisable to select the name, which is easy to pronounce. The people using other languages should find it easy to pronounce. The meaning of the name in foreign languages is also important and avoiding the name with bad meaning in foreign language will be wise decision.

Whatever name you choose for your baby boy, it may not necessarily suit your boy. The names for boys may be too much masculine but when the child grows up he may not be that tough and strong. You could not predict the future hence it is better to avoid such names.

Some names can be used for boys and girls also. They are called unisex names. e.g. example Lee, Lane, Robin, Alex.

You should pay attention to the initials of your child’s name. They should not be repeated with any other member of family. Especially siblings should not have same initials it may create confusion in record of vaccination, school record.

Some times initials may create a teasing name like Franklin Alex Tembrook (F.A.T.), which will be irritating for the child in his school days.

After all you give an identity to your child in this world with his name. Hence think about it carefully and be proud of your baby boy’s name.

Pad Covers

Filed under: Diapering — Tags: , , , , — heights @ 4:17 pm


One of the most popular gifts this season was the leather-covered pad. It holds the standard 8 1/2″ x 11″ lined letter sized pad. There are also pockets for your pen, business cards and additional papers that you may wish to carry with you. These cases are available in every type of leather from the inexpensive split cowhides to the elegant calfskins. They can be embossed with a company name or logo and make ideal corporate gifts. They also can be individually monogrammed for that personal touch. They are the perfect accompaniment to meetings, seminars, and anywhere note taking is useful. Mom’s can use them at PTA meetings, soccer coaches can use them at games, and busy executives always have one in front of them at a meeting. You’ll rarely see a lawyer without one. These handy pad covers fit inside your briefcase or attaché case. They also can be easily tucked under your arm and carried alone. There are models with zippered closures for just that reason. You’ll also find multiple file pockets in the zippered models.

These cases are available from many different brands and with many different leathers, features and pocket arrangements. These handy leather cases look great on your desk and when carried. Dilana Leathergoods makes a turned edge soft nappa case that is wonderful to the touch. Vantaggio makes them in a hand-stained polished Italian cowhide. Tumi makes them in their distinctive cowhide. Bosca makes both the zippered and regular versions in their many different leather finishes. Colors range from your standard black, to the newest of the cognac colors with everything in between. Ladies have a choice of many colors including pink and red, besides the standard blacks and browns. You can either match your briefcase or contrast. Lodis Leathergoods makes their ladies line of briefcases with matching leather pad covers in bright colors such as turquoise and caramel. These are certainly fun as well as practical. You can pack any of these pad covers in your lightweight luggage and use it to take notes on your trip.

Larger sizes that hold the “old” legal sized pads are still available. These will take the 11″ x 14″ size pad. Although they are longer, they will still fit inside most briefcases and attaché cases. These are available in larger zippered sizes and often have more pockets available. Some of these cases will have additional sections on the back. There are lots of organizational pockets in the larger versions. A smaller size is also handy. These hold the popular junior pads in the 6″ x 8″ size. They have a pen pocket and multiple places for receipts, etc. This is often one of your favorite travel accessories as you can keep track of your schedule and jot down time changes. There’s also plenty of room to keep important papers and write up your expenses later.

If you require a three ring binder, they are available in the zippered model of the leather pad cover or pad folio. This case can hold any loose-leaf paper inserts as well as photo pockets. They are very valuable to the home improvement industry as well as to anyone in the real estate field. The loose- leaf inserts can be changed as the need arises. Styles that have calculators inside are wonderful for contractors and decorators. It’s easy to see why these are so popular as gifts. Everything is handy and kept in one place.

How To Hang Curtains

Filed under: Bathing & Grooming — Tags: , , , , — heights @ 3:01 pm


Lets start right at the beginning:

Step ladders: Make sure you have a steady pair of steps not to short so you over reach. Your arms will drop of before you have taken your first lesson in how to hang curtains.Not to tall that you cannot reach the window comfortably without leaning out to the side to hang curtains throwing you off balance.

Curtain hooks for standard pencil pleat curtain tape

Curtain hooks Again make sure before you start that you have enough of the right kind of curtain hooks.Light curtains will be fine with standard plastic hooks.

Medium weight curtains use nylon hooks, stronger than plastic. They will flex without breaking.

Heavy curtains use metal nickel hooks, they are bit fiddly to handle they all stick together the box. Just like the Chinese puzzles I had as a child.

Curtain hooks for bucram headed curtains

You will need what are called “pin hooks” simply because they have a sharp pin which pierces through the fabric and bucram (not sure checkout my site) on the back of the curtain header. This kind of heading makes for the best looking curtains. As always the best all ways costs that bit more.

An extra pair of hands

When you are learning how to hang curtains large or heavy it is very useful to have someone standing at ground level holding the curtain taking the weight. This enables you to hang the curtain onto your track or rod with ease.

How many hooks will you need?

Well for curtains with standard pencil pleat tape you will need a hook every 4th pocket.

For bucram headed curtains you will need 1 for every pleat or goblet and one for each end.

Preparing your bucram headed curtains prior to hanging.

The good news other than putting in the pin hooks setting them down 1/2 inch from the top of your curtain. there is no more prepping to do. You just have to learn how to hang curtains and dress them properly.

prepping your pencil pleat curtains prior to hanging:

Standard pencil pleat curtains to start you will need to gather the tape on the top of your curtains. You do this by pulling out the 3 cords in the back of the curtain tape. To start pull the cords out of both ends of the curtain tape and tie them together in a firm knot.

There are 2 reasons for this 1. It stops you pulling the cords completely out of the tape (not a good start when learning how to hang curtains). 2. It keeps the cords together on the end that you pull the cords out to gather your curtain.

Then continue to pull the cords out. Simple tip on gathering your curtains.Take one set of knotted cords and hook over a door handle or some otherfixed object. Then use one hand to hold the curtain tape and with the other hand start to pull the tape away from the door handle. You will see the heading on your curtain start to pleat.

How wide do you curtains need to be?

Next check what half the width of your track or rod measures. Lets say your track is 100 inches long. You half this to 50 inches, then add on 2 inches to allow your curtains to comfortably meet in the middle when hanging. So the finished width that you want to gather each of your pair of curtains is 52 inches. The more you learn how to hang curtains, the more this becomes second nature.

Before you hang curtains…..stop and check!

Before you start to hang your curtain you need to lay your curtain downon a table or the floor and check the gathered width is about right. Then if to narrow then pull out the tape a little. If to wide then gather in the tape a little more.

what about the surplus cord?

Finally sorting out all that surplus cord and evening up the pleats in the tape. DO NOT CUT THE CORDS !. The best solution is to bundle the cords up by wrapping them around all your fingers then tie a slip knot around the bundle. This allows you in the future to alter the header tape should you want to.

Once the cords are sorted out turn the curtain over. You need to look at the pleats and try and even them out. Just do it roughly at this time because when you come to hang them the pleats will move a little.

Last job before hanging your curtains

All most there, before you can hang your curtain you have to put the curtain hooks into the pockets on the back of the tape. On most standard pencil pleat tape there are 3 pockets top, middle and bottom.

How to hang curtains from a rod or pole

If hanging under a rod or pole put your curtain hooks in the top pocket.Also note the number of rings on your rod or pole. This determines the number of hooks you put in the curtain tape. As a rule of thumb you useless hooks on a rod or pole than on a curtain track. On a track put a hook ever 4th pocket and on a ror or pole every 6 to 8 pockets.

Hanging from a track?

If hanging from a curtain track then put your curtain hooks in the center or bottom pocket pocket. this allows the curtain to cover the track when closed. To decide which pocket to use try one and see what your curtain looks like hanging. If your happy then great do the other curtain. If not happy move the curtain hooks up or down to suit.

The 1st step when hanging

A lot of people say you should always start hanging your curtains from the ends of the track or rod and work towards the middle. I Disagree, I say you should always start from the middle and work outwards towards the ends. The reason I advise you do it this way is because if you have

too many gliders on your track or too many rings on your rod you can easily remove them from the ends of your track or rod. Where if you start from the outside in to the middle the surplus gliders or rings are locked in the middle of your track or rod. Meaning you have to unhang your curtains to remove them. Not much more now and you will have the basics on how to hang curtains.

Why do some advise to start from the middle?

The reason is on some tracks and rods, but mostly the corded kind.They have what are called overlap arms. These are short arms made of metal or platic with holes in for the last couple of curtain hooks on each leading edge of your pair of curtains (edges that meet at center of your window). Theses overlap arms allow one curtain to pass and overlap the other curtain by 2 or 3 inches. Thus giving you total privacy.

So what’s the big problem?

So where’s the problem? the problem is that these arms are not very strong. This means when you start to hang a medium to heavy curtain. Especially without someone carrying the weight they sag and twist or break completely.

Avoiding the problem !

So how do we avoid that when hanging from the center of the track or rod and working outwards. Very simple really, if you need 2 hooks to go in the overlap arm then count in to the 3rd hook and hook this into the first real glider or ring. Leaving the 1st and 2nd curtain hooks to just hang in space. continue hanging your curtain working from the middle outwards. That’s how to hang curtains my way (the best way obviously “wink”)

Then once you have reached the ends of your track or rod (removing any surplus gliders or rings). You go back to the middle and hook in the last couple of curtain hooks into the overlap arms. So avoiding puttingto much weight on them.

Well I hope you have picked up a few “Tips” on how to hang curtains. This is just the first stage. Next is the “Dressing” of your curtains.

Changing your Eye Color: Iris Color Facts

Filed under: Bathing & Grooming — Tags: , , , , — heights @ 4:04 pm


Color of the Iris

The iris is usually strongly pigmented, with colors ranging from brown to green, blue, gray, and hazel. Occasionally its color is due to lack of pigmentation, as in the pinkish-white of oculo-cutaneous albinism, or to obscuration of its pigment by blood vessels, as in the red of an abnormally vascularised iris (although human albinos generally have very light blue eyes, as the un-pigmented color of the human iris is a pale blue).

Despite the wide range of colors, there is only one pigment that contributes substantially to normal human iris color, the dark pigment called melanin. Structurally, this huge molecule is only slightly different from its equivalent found in skin and hair.

Genetic and physical factors determining iris color

Iris color is a highly complex phenomenon consisting of the combined effects of texture, pigmentation, fibrous tissue and blood vessels within the iris stroma, which together make up an individual’s epigenetic constitution. A person’s “eye color” is actually the color of one’s iris, the cornea being transparent and the white sclera entirely outside the area of interest. It is a common misconception that the iris color is entirely due to its melanin pigment, but this varies only from brown to black.

Melanin is yellowish-brown to dark brown in the stromal pigment cells, and black in the iris pigment epithelium, which lies in a thin but very opaque layer across the back of the iris. Most human irises also show a condensation of the brownish stromal melanin in the thin anterior border layer, which by its position has an overt influence on the overall color.

The degree of dispersion of the melanin, which is in subcellular bundles called melanosomes, has some influence on the observed color, but melanosomes in the iris of man and other vertebrates are not mobile, and the degree of pigment dispersion cannot be reversed.

Abnormal clumping of melanosomes does occur in disease and may lead to irreversible changes in iris color (see heterochromia, below). Colors other than brown or black are due to selective reflection and absorption from the other stromal components. Sometimes lipofuscin, a yellow “wear and tear” pigment also enters into the visible eye color, especially in aged or diseased green eyes (but not in healthy green human eyes).

Blue is one of the possible eye colors in humans. The “blue” allele, existing in the Bey2 and Gey genes of chromosome 15, is recessive. This means that both genes must have both blue alleles i.e. “blue-blue”, in a person with blue eyes. If one of the alleles were not “blue” (“green” for Gey or “brown” for Bey2) then the person would have those colored eyes respectively.

As either allele (though not both) can be passed on to offspring it is perfectly possible for someone who does not have blue eyes to have blue-eyed children. Because of its recessive nature, this is a certainty if both parents have blue eyes. Though this explanation gives an idea of eye color delineation, it is incomplete, and all the contributing factors towards eye color and its variation are not fully understood.

Faking the iris color

Certain eye colors are sometimes seen as being especially attractive and motif-expressing contact lenses can be worn to mask one’s natural eye color with another. They are rarely needed and almost never recommended by serious medical doctors, unless the patient’s retina needs extra protection, as in aniridia.

Since the introduction of machines which can automatically analyse iris patterns, and their use at some airports as a security measure, it is reported that some people have resorted to colored contact lenses, or deliberate iris injury with lasers, to prevent personal identification.

Iris color as paternity test

As stated above, although there has been much fuss about finding the genes for eye color, there is no simple genetic determinism for such a complex trait, as there is more to iris color than pigmentation. Overall, there is no simple Mendelian inheritance in iris color. Consequently no serious test of paternity can be based on observations or even measurements of iris color, except to note that blue eyes are normally phenotypically recessive, so that a brown-eyed child of two blue-eyed parents may create some doubt about paternity.

Different colors in the two eyes

Heterochromia (also known as a heterochromia iridis or heterochromia iridium) is an ocular condition in which one iris is a different color from the other iris (complete heterochromia), or where the part of one iris is a different color from the remainder (partial heterochromia or sectoral heterochromia).

Uncommon in humans, it is often an indicator of ocular disease, such as chronic iritis or diffuse iris melanoma, but may also occur as a normal variant. Sectors or patches of strikingly different colors in the same iris are less common. Alexander the Great and Anastasios the First were dubbed (dikoros, “with two pupils”) for their patent heterochromias. In their case, this was not a true dicoria (two pupils in the same iris). Real polycoria can be due to disease but is most often due to previous trauma or surgery.

In contrast, heterochromia and variegated iris patterns are common in veterinary practice. Siberian Huskies show heterochromia due to interbreeding, possibly analogous to the genetically-determined Waardenburg syndrome of humans.

Some white cat fancies (e.g., white Persians) may show striking heterochromia, with the commonest pattern being one uniformly blue, the other green. Striking variegation within the same iris is also common in some animals, and is the norm in some species.

Several herding breeds, particularly those with a blue merle coat color (such as Australian Shepherds and Border Collies) may show well-defined blue areas within a brown iris as well as separate blue and darker eyes. Some horses (usually within the white, spotted, palomino or cremello groups of breeds) may show amber, brown, white, and blue all within the same eye, without any sign of eye disease.

One eye with a white or bluish-white iris is also known as a walleye

How to Select and Prepare Shrimp

Filed under: Diapering — Tags: , , , , — heights @ 7:17 am


Among the many varieties of seafood, shrimp ranks as one of
America’s most favorite. Even people who dislike fish seem
to enjoy shrimp and there is an endless number of ways in
which shrimp may be prepared. The dense white meat of shrimp
has a fresh, mild flavor that combines well with many
ingredients. Shrimp is great for dieters as they are very
low in fat and calories; however, they contain a greater
level of cholesterol than most seafood so that must be taken
into consideration if anyone has been advised by their
physician to limit their cholesterol intake.

Of the numerous species of shrimp sold worldwide, saltwater
shrimp are generally designated as ‘cold water’ or ‘warm
water’ species. Cold water shrimp are caught in the North
Atlantic and northern Pacific waters while warm water shrimp
are caught in tropical waters. The majority of warm water
shrimp available in the United States are harvested from the
waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic. These
shrimp are generally classified by the color of the shells
(i.e., pink, brown and white shrimp). The differences in
appearance and flavor are difficult to distinguish but it is
thought that the Gulf white shrimp (although the most
expensive) are the most desirable.

Shrimp come in a wide range of sizes; naturally, the larger
the shrimp, the higher the price. Size classifications range
from Tiny (150 to 180 shrimp per pound) to Colossal (10
shrimp or less per pound). Although larger shrimp may cost
more per pound and be easier to prepare (because you will
have less of them), they don’t necessarily taste any better
than the smaller ones.

BUYING AND STORING SHRIMP…

Shrimp are not inexpensive, so you will want to be certain
that the shrimp you buy are the best quality. Follow the
guidelines below when purchasing and storing shrimp:

When buying shrimp:

Purchase frozen shrimp with their shells on if possible.
Most all shrimp are frozen as soon as they’re processed, and
the longer they stay frozen, the fresher they’ll be.

Look for shrimp with firm white meat and a full shell. Avoid
frozen shrimp that has already been peeled and deveined, as
the shrimp will be less protected against freezer burn
without its shell.

Do not buy shrimp with black spots or rings (unless it’s
black tiger shrimp) as this indicates the meat is starting
to break down. Also avoid pink meat.

Make sure the shell is not yellow – this indicates that the
shrimp has been bleached.

Avoid shrimp that smells of anything other than salt water.
It should have a clean smell with no trace of ammonia or
bleach.

Be cautious of labels such as ‘large’ or ‘jumbo,’ as there
are no firm guidelines for such terms. For each shrimp
variety (size), the market or grocery should display the
number of shrimp that make up a pound – use this as a
guideline instead.

Cooked shrimp should be purchased the same day they were
cooked. If cooked in the shell, shrimp should be
pinkish-orange with opaque rather than translucent flesh.
Avoid fresh-cooked seafood that is displayed alongside raw
fish or shellfish, as bacteria can migrate from the raw meat
to the cooked.

When storing shrimp:

Uncooked shrimp should be stored like fish and used the same day they are purchased.

When buying frozen shrimp, make sure they are still solidly
frozen when they reach the home freezer.

Cook raw shrimp before freezing…since ‘fresh’ shrimp are
most often previously frozen and then thawed at the market.

Cooked, shelled, and deveined shrimp may be frozen in
airtight packaging. Most types of raw or cooked shrimp can
be safely kept frozen for up to two months at a temperature.

Always thaw frozen shellfish in the refrigerator rather than at room temperature.

PREPARING SHRIMP…

It is much easier to eat shrimp that have been shelled prior
to cooking, but the shells do add flavor to the dish. Of
course, shrimp may be purchased that have already been
shelled, deveined and are ready to be cooked, but this makes
the shrimp far more expensive. Shrimp will cost less if you
buy them in the shell and learn to shell and devein them
yourself. Once you know how, it’s really not difficult.

How to shell shrimp:

To remove the shell from uncooked shrimp, use a small sharp
knife to make a shallow cut down the back (outer curved
side) of each shrimp. Use your fingers to pull off the shell
and legs, leaving the tail portion attached to the meat.

How to devein shrimp:

The black “vein” that runs along the back of the shrimp is
actually its digestive tract. It isn’t necessary to remove
the vein, but the shrimp certainly look better and some say
they taste better when deveined. You can devein shrimp while
leaving the shell on (the shell adds flavor and can protect
the meat if you’re grilling the shrimp.)

To make it easier to access the vein of unshelled shrimp,
cut down the back (outer curved side) of the shell with a
knife or kitchen scissors. Use a small pick (’shrimp pick’),
a skewer or your fingers to find the vein, and pull it out.
Pull out as much of the vein as possible (working under cold
running water will help free the vein). Repeat in several
other areas until the vein has been fully removed.

How to butterfly shrimp:

Many recipes will call for ‘butterfly’ shrimp. The raw
shelled shrimp are split and flatten to give them a pretty
appearance or aid in preparation, such as battering and
frying.

First shell the shrimp leaving the tail attached. Next
insert a knife or kitchen shears about 3/4 of the way into
the shrimp at the head region. Cut almost all the way
through the flesh, down the center of the shrimp’s back and
to the tail. Use your hands to open the flesh of the shrimp
until it lies flat. Remove the vein with your fingers or the
tip of a knife. Hold the shrimp under cold running water to
rinse thoroughly.

Methods of cooking shrimp:

When cooking shrimp, it is important to heat them
sufficiently to destroy harmful organisms, but not so long
that the flesh becomes tough and looses flavor. This can
happen with only seconds of overcooking. Cooking must be
closely monitored and times will vary depending on size.
Shrimp will undergo a characteristic change when cooked that
indicates doneness. The flesh of adequately cooked shrimp
will turn opaque and the color will change from a
grayish-green to pink or orange.

BAKED: Peeled shrimp turn out moist when baked in foil
packets. To bake in foil, place the shrimp on a large square
of heavy-duty foil and add lemon slices and butter (herbs
and spices may also be added, if desired). Fold the foil
over the shrimp and seal by crimping the edges together.
Bake in an oven that has been preheated to 375F until just
done (approximately 5 minutes).

BOILED: Shelled or unshelled shrimp that are cooked ahead to be served cold or used in a recipe are usually boiled. Add raw shrimp to water that has been brought to a rolling boil. For extra flavor, add a few lemon wedges and crab-boil to
the water. Avoid overcooking or the shrimp will toughen and
loose flavor. Medium shrimp (2 to 3 inches long) take only
about 2 minutes to cook; larger shrimp take 3 to 5 minutes.

BROILED or GRILLED: Shrimp, in or out of the shell, can be grilled on skewers or broiled in the oven; however, leaving
the shells on will protect the delicate meat as it cooks and
add flavor. A marinade or baste will keep the shrimp moist
as it cooks.

MICROWAVED: This is a quick method for cooking shrimp. Place shrimp (preferably unshelled) around the edge of a
microwave-safe casserole dish with the tails pointing toward
the center. Drizzle with lemon juice and cook on high for 2
to 3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook.

POACHED: This cooking method works well for shrimp in or out of the shell. Poach shrimp in a mixture of water and lemon
juice or wine. Flavor the poaching liquid with herbs, if
desired. To poach 2 pounds of shrimp, bring 2 quarts of
liquid to a gentle simmer, add the shrimp and bring to a
boil. Once the liquid boils, cook shrimp for 60 seconds,
then remove immediately.

SAUTEED: This method for cooking shrimp traditionally
requires quite a bit of butter or oil, both for flavor and
to keep the shrimp from sticking to the pan. Remove the
shrimp from the pan promptly when done, or they will
continue cooking (and may overcook) from the pan’s heat
retention.

STEAMED: Steaming shrimp provides a gentle, fat-free and
flavorful method of cooking. Steam unshelled shrimp in a
collapsible steamer or steaming rack over boiling water.
Seasonings may be added to the water in the steamer for
additional flavoring. Cook just until the shell on the back
of the shrimp ‘lifts’ away from the meat.

STIR-FRIED: Stir-frying is a quick-cooking method that is well suited for preparing shrimp. Cook and remove the peeled
shrimp from the wok as soon as they are done then stir-fry
the remaining ingredients in the dish. Return the shrimp to
the cooked ingredients in the pan to briefly reheat
immediately prior to serving.

According to Bubba and Forrest Gump…

Shrimp is perhaps the most versatile shellfish on the
market. The number of ingredients shrimp compliment is
limitless as it adapts well to both spicy and plain recipes.
Not only does shrimp make an excellent gumbo, it can also turn
a plain pasta and sauce recipe into an elegant dish.

Although the ingredients may vary, there are only a few
basic methods of preparing shrimp. Once you know how to
select good shrimp and have a basic knowledge of how to
prepare them, you will find endless ways to enjoy this
delicate, succulent tasting crustacean.

Easy To Make Diaper Cakes

Filed under: Diapering — Tags: , , , , — heights @ 11:33 pm


Are you planning a baby shower? Diaper cakes can be a creative centerpiece for your table as well as a practical gift for your expectant mom. A Diaper Cake is created out of dozens of diapers and decorated with small baby products such as combs, pacifiers, teething rings, booties and toys. The entire cake can later be taken a part and the items utilized for the new baby.




Diaper Cake Ingredients:


- 16″ disposable cardboard platter

- Baby bottle or empty cardboard towel roll

- 8 feet of 1” wide ribbon

- Rubber bands of different sizes

- Clear adhesive tape

- Approximately 50 newborn diapers

- Decorative baby items (bibs, socks, toys)

- Cake Topper (candy filled baby bottle or stuffed animal)




Diapers:



The number of diapers you will require depends on the size and number of tiers you would like your cake to have. On average 50 newborn diapers will create a standard sized 3-layered cake.

- 20 diapers for the bottom layer

- 10 to15 diapers for the middle layer

- 5 diapers for the top layer




Assembling Your Diaper Cake:



- Use a cardboard paper towel roll or a baby bottle to roll your diapers

- When rolling your diapers, have them opened lengthwise with tabs tucked in

- Secure your diapers with a rubber band whenever necessary

- Fold and wrap a receiving blanket around each tier using tape to hold in place

- Use a ribbon to cover and hide the rubber band and as a decorative touch.

- Assemble your tiers on top of your cake platter, using adhesive tape

- Tuck your baby items in the ribbons as decorations

- Top your cake off with something fitting the theme of your party. Whether it be a small stuffed toy, a baby bottle or rattle




Other Decorative Ideas:



- Drape baby bibs over the receiving blankets

- Use baby items related only to your theme

- If using a baby bottle as the topper, fill it with candy or small baby items.


Add a professional touch by using clear cellophane. Spread a sheet out and center your cake in the middle. Gather the sides and edges and tie together with a nice ribbon or bow



A diaper cake is a fun gift to give. Be creative and happy baking!
