What is the highlight of any baby shower? Why,
the cake, of course. The baby shower cake sets
the mood for the baby shower, and is the symbol for the coming
of the new baby, so it can't be plain! Here are some baby
shower cake ideas that will make your baby shower cake a
hit:
Think outside the circle! Cakes can be in any
shape you wish! For baby showers, you might want the
cake to be in the shape of booties, a stork, bib, baby
carriage, baby bottle, or balloons.
Instead of one large cake, why not have small
mini-cakes in the shape of blocks? When making this
cake, fill it with jam then cut out the petit fours which
will then be covered with fondant all over. Once they dry,
decorate them with lettering. Have it arranged in a way
that it spells out your message (or even the baby's
name).
Ducky Theme. Ducks are a favorite for baby
showers and make great baby shower cakes. Use blue
butter cream as an outline of the pond and then fill it
with blue gel to serve as the water. Find little ducky
pieces and place them on top of the blue gel and give these
mini duckies butter cream raindrops to have the desired
ducky theme effect.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Theme. Have the cake
covered with sky blue fondant. Then use a white or yellow
marshmallow fondant, roll it and cut it in a star-like
shape with facial features and a dimpled smile.
If the baby shower already has a theme, continue with that
theme when creating the baby shower cake. It's always a
good idea to look at the theme decorations, then match the food
and baby shower cake accordingly.
Below are a couple YouTube videos of different baby shower
cakes. My favorite is the small cake surrounded by small
cupcakes, and the second shows a delightful baby shower cake
with large blocks on the top of the cake:
Synonyms: Hower, hsower, sower, sohwer, shwer, shwoer,
shoer, shoewr, showr, showre, and showe are typos for
"shower."
