Fall Baby Shower Diaper Cake - Creating the Plate

Tuck silk leaves randomly throughout between rafia and wide ribbon. To create the base I used a plastic plate from a 4 pack. Run a thin line of hot glue a few inches at a time about 1/8” from the edge of plate, press the stem end of leaves into glue, continue all the way around. Place beneath cake form. fall baby shower For the topper I simply bought the pre-decorated pumpkin from my local dollar store and hot glued it to the cap of bottle of baby lotion stuck in the top layer.
