Baby showers are always so exciting! Getting to help a friend or loved one welcome their new baby to the world is an amazing experience. If you are the 'honored one' who will be hosting the baby shower, you've probably racked your brain trying to come up with wonderful cake ideas. There are so many creative cake ideas for baby showers, whether you are welcoming a little boy or a little girl. There are several options, and things to consider when picking out the perfect cake.
Will the baby shower be a themed one?
\"Baby Shower Wording\"
Often times, the host of a baby shower will select a theme that coincides with the Mom-to-be's nursery theme. This is a wonderful idea, and sure to please the new mom. For example, if Mom will be decking out her nursery in Winnie the Pooh, you could choose to incorporate that theme into the baby shower, and the cake. You could also do your own theme apart from the nursery theme. Some great ones for little boys are animals. trains, and sports. If the baby shower is not a themed one, you can pretty much choose any kind of wonderful cake.
Will you be purchasing the cake, or making your own?
When purchasing the cake, there are literally hundreds of options to choose from. You could get a special cake with mom's picture on it, easily choose a themed cake, or work with your favorite bakery to come up with your own unique idea.
If you will be making your own, there are tons of really great ideas that will be fun to make and be a hit at the party.
Here are some great ideas.
Baby 'clothesline' cake - Start with a sheet cake in any flavor you choose,(Make one from a box or from scratch, or purchase one that hasn't been frosted.) Frost the cake baby blue. A few drops of blue food coloring into white frosting will do the trick. Using a decorator's bag or a tube of writing icing, draw a horizontal line from one side of the cake to the other. Do this about two thirds down from the top of the cake. You can purchase little blue and yellow 'scrapbooking' baby clothes and blankets. Place those hanging from the line across the cake. A cute idea would be to draw in a little sun at the top of the cake, and grass and flowers at the bottom of the cake under the clothesline. You can get different colored writing icing tubes for this. A really cute saying on this cake would be, " Little fingers, little toes, itty-bitty baby clothes."
Another really cute variation on this cake is to start with 2 round cakes and frost them baby blue all the way around. Layer them, and then place the clothesline and baby clothes on the side of the cakes, with the saying on the top.
Another great idea to consider is using baby blocks on the cake spelling out 'Its a Boy,' or doing cupcakes instead and placing a small baby item on the top of each one. Using these ideas, you should be able to come up with a great cake that you will love, and that the party goers will love too.
