Old McDonald had a farm, but did he have a barnyard diaper cake?  I don't know, but I do know that this theme is absolutely adorable and is as fun to give as it is to receive!

When you think of farms, what do you think of first?  The animals, of course!  Cows, pigs, chickens, sheep, and ducks.  No matter the number of tiers, one of these cute little critters is the perfect way to top off this style of cake.  However, although a stuffed animal is the perfect topper, make sure it's baby friendly and does not pose any choking hazards.

What color are most barns?  Well, here in Indiana, red seems to be the predominant color, and I'm guessing it's popular elsewhere too!  Red is a great choice to use as the ribbon surrounding the cake.  You could also use bandanna print fabric or go for a cow print.  John Deere even has a line of nursery fabric that would be absolutely adorable for this purpose.

Don't forget to tuck in farm-themed prizes inside the cake layers.  Bibs (a "Got Milk? one would be perfect!), onesies, baby booties, and farm-themed rattles and toys are great ways to accessorize a barnyard diaper cake.
