Devour These Ideas for Delicious Baby Shower Cakes!
A staple of most baby showers is the cake which can easily double as a centerpiece for your baby shower. Even if you are pressed for time, there are many affordable, easy baby shower cakes to enjoy. First, pick a theme for the shower and go with that for the cake.
There are many themed cake pans in the shape of popular characters available at craft stores. If you choose to use one of these, the best icing to use are the thick tubes of decorators icing, which you can get at the grocery or craft store.
These thick tubes are easier to get definition with and come in dozens of colors excellent for decorating, unlike the tubs of frosting at the grocery store.
There are other great cake ideas for baby showers such as a layer cake in a coordinating color, like pink or blue. Use strawberry or cherry cake mix and frosting for a girl and decorate the top with rosettes, bows, or plastic babies and diapers.
For a boy, use vanilla frosting mixed with several drops of blue food coloring and spell the name across the top. Cupcakes frosted in pink or blue are perfect when a gingham ribbon is tied around the wrapper base.
A popular yet inedible centerpiece right now is the diaper cake, available online or at baby specialty stores which is a large stacked diaper “cake” with necessities like diaper cream, bottles and towels tucked inside.
