Cake, anyone?

I'm going to make a diaper cake. No, it's not edible. Rather it's a cute little confection constructed from disposable diapers, trinkets and ribbon designed to look like a cake. It would make a great centerpiece for a baby shower, I think. So I bought teeny tiny newborn diapers and some pretty pastel ribbon, and I'll give it a shot the first opportunity I have. I'm not too good at this crafty kind of stuff, but the directions I found looked relatively easy. I don't like to knit, I don't know how to crochet and I gave up cross stitching because it made my fingers hurt. I once tried making homemade Christmas tree ornaments, but I inadvertantly hot glued a decoration to my leg that left a scar. You get the idea. So I'll make a non-biodegradable, inedible fake cake to satisfy my grandmas-should-know-how-to-make-things-for-baby mentality. And I'll do it with love and lots of humor. No glue guns required.
