Baby
Shower Cakes - How to Buy or Make Wonderful Baby Cakes that
Surprise Your Guests
By Qing Gu
How can you have a complete baby shower without
baby shower cakes?
A baby cake is more than a moist, yummy confection to eat. You
can use it as a wonderful baby shower centerpiece to make a special
party setting that every guest can share and enjoy.
Also turn the baby shower cake baking into a funny baby shower
game if you want to make a special and memorable moment that
the mom-to-be can cherish for a long time.
What if you're looking for something that can do triple duties
for your baby shower? A Diaper Cake decorated with all kinds
of baby items is your best choice - it's not edible!
Keep the guidelines below in your mind. You’ll
find that have the bakery design cakes for you is just a snap.
1. Set your party theme and budget, it will help you focus on
what you really need.
2. Check out 4 or 5 bakeries (at least). Look at their cake
pictures and ask for a sample-taste.
3. Make a decision on the cake that most fits
your need. Tell the baker how many people will attend your
party so they don’t
make the wrong size. (A standard round cake serves approximately
eight to ten people. An 11 x 9 x 2 inch sheet cake serves up
to fifteen people.)
4. Tell the baker which day and what time the shower will start.
( you should order the cake a minimum of one week in advance
of the shower.
5. Pay a 50 percent deposit. Ask the bakery to deliver the cake
directly to your shower location (again, don't forget to tell
them the date and time!).
Instead of the traditional baby cakes, try baking a batch of
baby cupcakes which guests can frost and decorate.
You can even try the idea of an Autograph Cake
- it's a sheet cake only have a standard "Congratulations!" inscription
on it and the rest are left plain. Guests were asked to sign
their names on the cake when they arrive.
And imagine a cake with the mommy’s photo
or a classic pooh poster on it! The only thing you need to
do is to choose
one photo of the mom-to-be or any graphics related to your shower
theme. The bakery will blow up the photo and decorate around
it for you - it looks great and inexpensive!
No matter what you're looking for, put your heart and energy
into the cake planning, the ideas are endless.
