Hello Nesties, do you love everything that’s pink, lavender, and topped with exploding sparkles?
Are you wanting to help a new mom jumpstart her cloth diapering stash while bringing the coolest gift ever?
Well, I think you are going to enjoy my newest cloth diaper cake tutorial. It’s over-the-top and perfect for a mom having a girl who wants to cloth diaper.
All you need to do is follow my step-by-step tutorial and you will have the most adorable baby shower gift EVER!
I searched the internet for a long time looking for a cloth diaper cake tricycle tutorial and found none, although there were plenty of disposable cake tutorials.
That is when I decided to create my own and share. After a few months of gathering supplies and testing, I created a bad boy and this princess bear tricycle.
Enough jabbering, let’s get to building!
This tutorial is 100% original and created for my blog, MyGreenNest.

What All Comes In This Cake!
Here is a quick rundown of everything that is included in this bomb-tastic diaper cake and why this cloth diapering mother-to-be will be a lucky lady to receive it!
- With this one awesome diaper cake, the new mom will receive a set of prefolds, which can be used as burp cloths or cleaning rags.
I used the large-size and 12-pack from OsoCozy (Amazon aff link)
- One set of flat diapers which are very versatile and will last virtually forever.
I used these fun lilac ones from OsoCozy. (Amazon aff link)
- Three Stretchy Baby headbands that she can use on her precious baby girl.
I like These. (Amazon aff link) This gives you a complete set of multiple colors.
- The Diaper Dawgs Sprayer (aff link) that hooks up to the shower and cleans dirty diapers in the toilet!
- A Waterproof Bag (aff link) that holds several soiled diapers for traveling, and can be used for wet clothes, makeup, bathing suits, or whatever!
- Twenty thick baby washcloths that have infinite uses like cleaning dirty spills, faces, and other fun surprises. They can be used as cloth wipes, washing her baby, or to clean herself after pumping.
Try this set of Pink Baby Washcloths. (Amazon aff link)
- One set of Finger Guards (aff link) that keeps fingers from getting dirty when dealing with poopy diapers and pulling out soiled inserts.
- Two Muslim Swaddle Me Blankets (Amazon aff link.) She can use these to keep her baby warm or even as a make-shift nursing cover.
- A set of Boingo Baby Diaper Fasteners. (Amazon aff link) If you can get the glitter or the pink ones, they go well with this cake!
As you can see from the list above, the mother is basically going to be set-up for cloth diapering.
The only things left she will need to get are diaper covers, a diaper pail/liner, and maybe a few other cloth diapers.
This cloth diaper cake will really help get a jump start on her diaper stash and will probably be one of the cutest and creative gifts at the shower!

Cloth Diaper Supplies
Ok, so I am not going to lie… this is a big, expensive, and very involved diaper cake to make but it’s very doable!
The price of making this diaper tricycle is going to cost you anywhere from $150.00 to $200.00 depending on where you get your supplies and if you already have some of the items around the house.
I recommend going half with a friend or two if you can. It would also be a fun thing to make together over some drinks!
Just try not to drink too much at the same time or you might end up with something completely different than what I am going to show you.
Do you love this diaper cake tutorial and want to try the “boy version?” You’re in luck because I’ve created that too.
