Baby Shower Cakes - More Than Just Dessert

A baby shower is a way for family and friends to celebrate the
expected arrival of a new baby with the parents-to-be. It is a
joyous occasion and fun for all! But hosting a great baby shower
takes some real planning. A very important part of the planning
process is the cake. Every baby shower needs a cake, but the
cake can serve as more than just a dessert--it can also double
as a decoration, even a centerpiece!
Most baby showers have a theme, and the entire party is based on
that theme. The cake is no exception and should also follow
whatever theme you've chosen. If you're talented and can bake
and

decorate a cake (or know someone who can), you may want to
have a home-made cake. Or you can order one from a bakery,
making sure you place your order in plenty of time for the
shower.
Once you've decided whether it will be home-made or
store-bought, you will need to decide what type of cake to have.
There are many different varieties of baby shower cakes to
choose from. Some of them are listed below:
· Angelfood cake · Butter cake · Butterfly cake · Carrot cake ·
Cheesecake · Chocolate cake · Chiffon cake · Cupcake · Devil's
food cake · Fruit cake · Gingerbread · Ice cream cake

· Mooncake
· Pineapple upside down cake · Pound cake · Spice cake · Sponge
cake
Then there's the filling to consider:
· more icing · different flavors of fruit preserves · pudding ·
custard · whipped cream · jams · peanut butter · pure chocolate
Not only should you consider what type of cake to have but also
how you might be able to decorate the cake in a way that will
make the baby shower celebration more special. Here are some
ideas:
1. Belly Cake. One great idea is to design a baby shower cake
and make it look like a pregnant belly. This can be done by
placing a

circular cake in front of a rectangular cake and
frosting them together to resemble that of a pregnant belly.
2. Toy Blocks Cake. Another idea is to design a baby shower cake
and make it look like children's toy blocks (either one large
block or 3 to 4 smaller blocks). Toy block cakes can be further
enhanced by surrounding them with candies or little toy cars.
3. An Autograph Cake. This is a great idea where
"Congratulations" is the only word on the cake, leaving room for
each of the guests to "sign" their own name in icing. A picture
of the cake is taken when everyone has signed it, making a

great
keepsake for the parents-to-be.
4. A Character Cake. The cake can be made in the form of a
character, such as Pooh Bear.
5. A Baby Bib Cake. Another idea similar to the character cake,
but the cake looks like a baby bib.
There are so many different things you can do with a baby shower
cake. Here are just a few other suggestions for cake shapes:
Baby Buggy Baby Booties Bassinet Baby Bottle Noah's Ark
There's also a "diaper" cake. But watch out--it's really made of
diapers and not edible!
Of course, you can also experiment with creative ideas of
