    Hi Redcow315,
    Ooh, a month ago you asked this and I don’t seem to have answered it. Sorry. I use the ‘newborn’ size. Regs… Megs

    MEGAN! THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE I DID IT. MY DIAPER/NAPPY CAKE TURNED OUT ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I FOLLOWED YOUR INSTRUCTIONS TO THE T. While I was putting the finishing touches on the cake, my brother though it was edible and asked me how am I going to get it this 3 tier cake over to the center. I said they’re diapers silly! (LOL) that comment proved to me that the diaper cake looked GREAT. It was a HUGE hit. Thank you so, so, so, so MUCH! – Created on 2/28/2009

    Hi Rommulexxie,

    The fill list of ingredients is available on my website which is shown in the video. (If I try to give the link in replies it won’t post them on here).

    But don’t worry too much about the exact number I used – just use the number that pleases you for the size cake you want to make. Do try, though, to make sure your ‘wrappings’ can fit around it! Regs… Megs

    Congratulations! Isn’t it fun? I love making these things and I love giving them even more. Just you wait – everyone is going to want one now they’ve seen what magic you do ;-) Regs… Megs

    que lindo todo,,,gracias

  15. I really enjoyed your video, very instructive, but I have a question: how do you get the last tier to stick to the cardboard? Do you use glue?

  16. MeganEMills Says:

    Hi Luisffz,

    I don’t stick it down at all, I just let gravity hold it there. If you really wanted to stick it I wouldn’t use glue, perhaps just a small piece or two of double sided sticky tape that can be easily peeled off. Regs… Megs

  17. hi i really like this im going to make one for my friends baby shower

    were there subliminal messages in that?! hahahahaha there was a quick 1 second flash from 4:29 to 4:30.

  23. MeganEMills Says:

    When we first uploaded this you couldn’t choose which picture would be the one shown as the ‘thumbnail’ on youtube. It just chose one from the middle of the clip. So, to get the picture we wanted we put it in the middle of the clip. Machiavellian, eh? Regs… Megs ;-)

  24. iluvrobpattz1 Says:

    how many diapers do u need for all of it because i want to make one like this for my cozen shes having a girl =]=]

  25. MeganEMills Says:

    Hi iluvrobpattz1,
    This one used 48, but you can use more or less depending on how big you make each tier. Regs…Megs
