When you opt to throw a baby shower party for a friend or relative who will soon to be a mom, expect that you will have a tedious task to do. First, you need to decide on what theme to have. Second, you need to define the guest list, print and send the shower invitations, and then prepare other shower supplies.
Of course, you can’t come up with a fancy shower party without decorating the entire venue. You would want to think about what decorations to use, what will be the program, what games to have, what to serve and what baby shower favors to give.
One of the most favorite table centerpiece during baby shower parties is the baby shower cake. It is always best to have a baby shower cake that is quite different from traditional cakes that are bought from the local bake shops. You can bake your own cake or you can ask a friend who can better bake a cake. It is always an advantage if you have some baking skills, or if you can follow instructions from cookbooks. You can use your creativity for the design and you can always ask for help from friends.
By doing this, you will be assured that the cake that will be served as a table centerpiece is in accordance with your desired theme.
But if in case you can’t have the cake baked with your own bare hands, pre-ordering the cake will also be fine as long as you give enough time for the cake to be prepared and that you have discussed with the person who will prepare that cake with the theme of the shower party and you would like the cake to look.
You can also check online for tried and tested recipes and designs for the different kinds of baby shower cakes, as well as different flavors you may opt to choose from. Basically, the designs and shapes of baby shower cakes are nursery items, such as flowers, birds, butterflies, baby-shaped, toys and baby supplies. The most common icing color for such cake are yellow, pink, blue, green and white.
Also, if the shower party will be scheduled after the baby was born, you can have the picture of the baby used as an edible picture design on the cake. You can do this by asking a professional cake decorators to create an edible cake design using the picture of the child.
Another great idea for the baby shower cake is to use diapers. Today, diaper cakes are very popular during baby shower parties. These cakes are not for the guest to enjoy, but for the mom who will definitely appreciate a stack of diapers that is prepared for her little bundle of joy.
To make an diaper cake, all you need to do is to stack rolled diapers to make a several layers. You will also need some rubbers, laces or ribbons to keep the diapers in place. Just make sure that you will not tie the diapers too tightly together, this will avoid them from being deformed.
Also, you will need also extra baby items to make some surprises for the diaper cake. You may include baby toys, baby clothing, bibs, pacifiers, baby pins and other little extras you might want to place in between the layers or diapers.
