Preparing for the special event of a baby shower can be very
tiresome. There are so many tasks to get done. For example a
theme has to be chosen, a location selected, invitations made, a
guest list, and even decorations for the event. There are many
tasks that can take time.
An important part of the baby shower is the decoration.
Typically a baby shower is a real focus piece that carries the
decorations and theme of the shower. Therefore not just any
simple store bought cake will do. If you want this to be an
exciting event then you want a special custom-made cake. There
are three ways to go about this either do it

yourself, have
another guest of the shower do it or preorder the cake from a
local bakery. Either way you want to spend some time with the
baker or cake decorator and help them conceptualize the design
of the cake so that it matches the theme of the baby shower.
Remember the cake often becomes the centerpiece of a table and
it is a real focal point.
Of course it is easier to have someone do this for you but to
make the occasion very special and to ensure that the cake
carries the parties theme it is often better to just do the work
yourself or with friends. This way you can use your own
creativity with the cake and make

it a real signature piece for
the baby shower. Not to mention this will also save on overall
costs.
If you can follow basic recipes then baking a cake should not be
too difficult. Typically you want to start by finding a good
recipe for the cake. You can now do this online, or from a
traditional cookbook that you know is tried and true.
Typically the design and decoration of baby shower cakes are
nursery items. Things like flowers, birds, butterflies, or other
baby stuff. Of course you can follow with the traditional baby
shower colors of blue, pink or yellow for the frosting. Green
and white are also very

traditional colors. Typically the colors
will be very soft or muted and in the light pastel range.
Another avenue you can take in designing the cake is if the baby
shower is scheduled after the baby was born, you can ask for the
baby's picture and have professional cake decorators create an
edible cake design using the baby's picture.
Another idea for the baby shower cake is to use diapers. That's
right - diapers. Of course, this cake is not for the guests to
enjoy. However, the mom will definitely appreciate it if there
is already a stack of diapers prepared for the baby.
To prepare a diaper cake, all

you need to do is carefully stack
rolled diapers into several levels (having three levels is
suggested). You may use laces and ribbons to keep the diapers in
place. However, make sure that you did not tie the diapers too
tightly together to prevent them from being deformed. Deformed
diapers will be useless and will just end up in the garbage bin.
The diaper cake can also be placed as a table centerpiece. If
you still prefer to have a real cake for the baby shower, you
can bake or order a simple cake from the bakeshop.
Along with the cake you want to take time and plan for good baby
shower food. Typically this is

an event that features a light
menu things like tea, snacks, desserts, finger foods, and
punches. If the male guests have been invited it can be fun to
have some grilled foods. This way the dads can bond and talk
easily as they tend the barbeque. This can be a lot of fun as it
allows everyone to participate in welcoming the new baby into
the family.
