Baby Shower Cakes

They come in many shapes and sizes, and some aren't even edible! How do you pick the right baby shower cake? First, find out how many people will be attending your party. That will make a huge difference in your search. If you're expecting a big turnout, you may want a sheet cake. For a smaller gathering, you may want to consider a different alternative, like cupcakes! Size is only the beginning though, there are still many other factors to consider.

There are many shapes and styles to take into account. Cakes can be made in the shape of a bottle, rattle, or even a baby buggy! One creative idea is to put a picture of the mom and dad-to-be on the cake. This is easy for any bakery to do and some craft stores may have kits, so you can do it yourself.

Not all cakes need to be edible though. 2 great non-edible ideas are as follows:

• Diaper cake: It's nothing more then diapers stacked in the shape of a tiered cake and garnish with all kinds of baby toys and ribbons.

• Flower Cake: These are available from most florists or you can make your own. Simply press flowers into a Styrofoam cake shape, and you are ready to go!

Still having trouble, coming up with ideas? Cake pictures can be found all over the internet and in many cookbooks. With a little brainstorming and patience you're sure to find the perfect style that everyone will love!

Important note: It's common knowledge that some women have dietary restrictions while they are pregnant. This is an important thing to consider when choosing a cake. A common restriction is no sugar. Cakes can be made of angle food, which is ok. Be sure to consult all of your guest before you make any decision.
