Make a Baby Shower Towel Cake - Select a theme to center around your towel cake. Be creative and try and gear it toward the theme of the baby shower. For example, if the baby shower colors are blue and brown, use blue and brown towels with matching ribbon and small baby items to decorate the towel cake. Some items that can be used are a baby rattle, bottle, lotion, shampoo and a stuffed animal to top the cake.
Lay the regular-size towels flat on a table lengthwise and fold them in half twice. Once they are folded, lay the regular-size towels on top of one another. Roll the regular-size towels from one end to the other. Keep the roll tight and even by slowly rolling the towels together. Secure the end of the towel roll with a safety pin. The ends may appear a little uneven, but this is normal. Wrap a decorative ribbon around the center of the towel roll for added security. This roll will form the bottom layer of the towel cake. Place the bottom layer of the towel cake on the cake stand.
