How to make a Diaper Cake

During the weeks prior to my sisters baby shower, I literally spent days surfing the internet trying to find instructions on how to make a diaper cake.  I got so bogged up on the information that I read, that I became discouraged after the third day of reading the free information on diaper cake instructions.  Besides that fact that it was free, the diaper cake instructions were absolutely hard to understand.  They assumed that you already knew the little hidden secrets on how to make diaper cakes.  

After spending countless hours trying to create a diaper cake and promising myself that I wouldn’t buy one, due to the fact that it would cost me well over $100, I finally decided to check the internet one last time.
