Baby Shower Cake Ideas
Many baby showers feature a cake that is a decorative centerpiece as well as a delectable dessert.The cake
design a party planner chooses must fit with a shower’s overall theme. If you’re struggling to come up with baby
shower cake ideas that match your theme, take a look at some of the possibilities discussed below.
Animal Cakes
There’s nothing like a good, old-fashioned baby animal to make party goers exclaim in delight. Simple, easy to
find, and downright adorable, animal shaped or themed cakes are a great choice forbaby shower cake ideas. Try
designing a round pink ladybug with brown chocolate spots and tasty icing antennae, or pick up a Mary’s little lamb
with snow-white “fleece” frosting. Rubber ducky cakes are also popular. One of the cuter versions features rubber
duckies sailing on a cake iced to look like a bubble bath; after it’s been eaten, save the toys for baby’s first
bathtime!
Mommy and Baby Cakes
It might seem strange, but some of the most popular baby shower cake ideas these days are sleeping babies and
pregnant mommy bellies. If the mom to be has a sense of humor, consider getting a cake made in the shape of her
torso. Most cakes are iced to look like mommy’s front, dressed in a beautiful dress or negligee, so she’ll look
great in real life as well as on the table! Alternatively, a sleeping bundle of joy may be a sweet, traditional
topping for a cake, but make sure he or she’s not too cute for the guests to eat.
Cupcakes
If traditional baby shower cake ideas seem overwhelming or simply too expensive, cupcake tiers are the way to
go! These can be made at home and require virtually no cleanup, as guests can simply pop them into their mouths and
toss the wrappers in the trash. The design options here are almost unlimited, so let your imagination run wild. Try
decorating with baby bottles and booties, iced flowers, pink pig or monkey faces, polka dots, pacifiers, or
anything else you fancy. Rattle-shaped cupcakes can be made by inserting a stick tied with a ribbon bow into the
side of a decorated cupcake.
Cake Alternatives
Novelty “diaper cakes” are a great alternative to the traditionally delicious but high-calorie treats offered at
most parties. Constructed of baby clothes, disposable or cloth diapers, and decorated with stuffed toys, novelty
cakes look surprisingly like the real thing, and can make a great inedible centerpiece. Online companies offer a
variety of designs ranging from around $60-$120. If the mom to be is more interested in healthy treats, try
ordering a fruit centerpiece from Edible Arrangements, or make your own centerpiece of healthy treats like
raspberries and watermelon.
Regardless of the style you have in mind, it isn’t hard to find great baby shower cake ideas once you start
looking. With a little bit of planning, a cake of any kind can be a delicious and fabulous addition to any
pre-birth celebration.
