A Baby Shower Cake Idea
Doesn't Come from the Stork
When you need a baby shower cake idea,
here are some things to consider.
First of all, you want to think about the kind of baby shower that you are having. Then you want to think about how many people will be eating the shower cake. And finally, you might want to consider a completely unique baby shower cake.
The overall baby shower theme as well as the mood of the baby shower can help to weed out the perfect baby shower cake idea. For the most traditional showers, cakes with rattles and pacifiers can be beautiful. Add a little pink or blue to the coloring and you have a wonderful centerpiece.
These cakes might also take into consideration the bronzed shoe theme or the booties of a baby. Little and cute is the word on these kinds of cakes.
But when a lot of people will want to eat the cake, you'll want to be sure that it's an edible baby shower cake. There are some that are not. Of course, not all of the pieces on a baby shower cake need to be edible. But when you have children at the shower, you may want to be able to feed them something.
Just be sure to take a lot of pictures of the baby shower cake before everyone dives it.
For a completely unique and different baby shower cake idea, why not try a diaper cake? While this might not sound appealing at all, it's probably completely different than you think.
By using disposable diapers and making layers of cake, the baby shower cake can be both decorative and useful. By gently taping or tying the diapers together, the mom to be can bring this cake home. The diapers can be in various sizes to accommodate the newborn as he or she grows too.
It's a gift and a cake all in one. You can also add 'flowers' of baby socks and other useful items to help decorate this unique cake idea.
And don't worry; this baby shower cake idea is only made with unused diapers. But for a busy mom that's already worried about everything else, you're saving her a shopping trip and giving her 'piece' of mind.
