Which is Bigger?
Which do you guests think is bigger...the diaper cake or the mommy-to-be's belly? This is a fun game that gives a unique spin to the toilet paper game where guests are asked to pull of a line of paper that represents the size of the mother's pregnant belly. Only in this version they are guessing whether the thickest tier of the cake is small or larger nearby than the expectant mother's belly.

The expectant mom can be asked to stand by the cake for a brief comparison and you can still use toilet paper to quantum both the cake and stomach to see which is bigger. This works best with cakes that have large tiers for the bottom layer.

The Dirty Layer
Take the smallest tier of the cake and place a bit of mustard inside the folds of one diaper. You may want to have a extra tier of the cake designed or maybe a cut off tier, just for this game. Guests have to take turns picking a diaper and pulling it out, trying to find the dirty diaper. The one who finds it first gets a surprise!
