 Baby Shower Cakes For A Boy
Baby Shower Cakes for a Boy
The days when little boys had to wear blue and little girls always loved pink are long gone, and baby shower
cakes for a boy don’t have to fit the traditional mold anymore, either. While most people are still probably not
going to decorate their son’s nursery in rose and violet hues, there are certainly plenty of in-between options
when it comes to choosing a cake!
Homemade Cakes
Homemade cakes are often the best cakes, in no small part because they’reoften crafted using recipes passed down
through family generations. A perfect cake takes more than one person to create! When deciding on baby shower
cakes for a boy, choose a design that will complement the favorite family recipe. Turn a pineapple coconut upside
down cake into a giant, delicious baseball, for example, or cover Aunt Ida’s famous carrot cake in green icing and
create a legion of fluffy bunnies and bright orange carrots to decorate the top.
Professional Cakes
There are many different options when it comes to professionally made baby shower cakes for a boy.
Cakeamerica.com, which markets cakes from many bakers in different parts of the US, has a wide range of designs
available to order. Bassinets, frogs, ducks, baby booties, and the ever-popular bottle and onesie themes are all
easy to order from professional bakeries. If you’re looking for something really unique, try custom ordering an
original design, like the baby bursting out of a wrapped present that one party planner opted for on
piece-a-cake.com
Cupcakes
If traditional cakes seem too overwhelming or expensive, never fear – cupcake tiers were designed for you! These
sweet and easy treats are fun to make, inexpensive to buy, and require almost no cleanup. Just toss the wrappers,
rinse a tray, and it’s like they were never there. Cupcake designs are cute and numerous; for a baby boy’s shower,
top them with little blue icing pacifiers, animal faces like smiling dogs or wide-mouthed monkeys, or choose two
contrasting colors and stick to plain icing for a modern polka dot effect.
Novelty Cakes and Alternative Desserts
If the mom to be isn’t a fan of sweets, traditional baby shower cakes for a boy may not be the way to go.
Novelty “diaper cakes” made of onesies and disposable diapers and topped with stuffed animals, can be a thoughtful
and useful alternative to edible treats. If you’re looking for something edible but still healthier than chocolate
and cream, try a fruit centerpiece from Edible Arrangements, or make your own tiers of cut fruit and light whipped
cream or crackers and cheese. A non-cake dessert like molded Jell-O can also be a low-calorie alternative.
Baby shower cakes for a boy can be as simple or elaborate as the theme for a particular party, as there are
obviously many available options. Whatever the mom-to-be’spersonal style or preference, there’s no reason why the
dessert centerpiece at her baby shower can’t be something that will suit her and celebrate the new baby boy at the
same time.
