I just finished making a little diaper cake to be a gift/centerpiece at a shower I'm hosting next month, and I can't decide if it needs something on top or not. And if I *do* add something else, I'm not really sure what it should be. Any ideas?

I say yes to the topper. A small stuffed animal or pasi?
Btw: great cake!

You could add something, but I don't think it's a must! I like the way it looks now...kind of simple and chic

Cute! Maybe add a paci and rattle? The diaper cake at my shower had pacis, and small toys in various spots around the tiers and on top.

Thanks, ladies! I like the idea of a small stuffed animal or baby shoes
I'll have to look around and see if I can find something cute that matches without being too expensive (since this is in addition to other gifts not to mention the shower itself!).
If not, I think it will be ok plain, too. I just didn't even know what to consider as a topper!

wow, so pretty! I wish I had a shower to make one for what size diapers does one use for a diaper cake?

Very cute! You could even pick up a little stuffed animal at the dollar store just for extra decoration.

I think a little stuffed animal or a Lovie would look cute, or a baby toy.

@sorrycharlie: I think you could probably use any size, but I used size 1 Pampers Swaddlers because she registered for them Larger sizes would probably make for taller layers?
It was a lot easier to make than I thought it would be... I just googled "how to make a diaper cake" and found lots of instructional blog posts and videos.

I clipped a bunch of baby toiletries and socks and toys to mine. Let me see if I have a pic.

It's really cute. I think something on top would look good too.

I'd go for a stuffed animal on top, just a simple one. It looks awesome though.
