Making A Themed Cake

Once you've decided to have you hands produce your baby shower cake and want to do it all by yourself, here are a few tips about baby shower themes along with their baby shower cakes that will guide you through making the best baby shower themed cake for your upcoming event.

1. Ducky Theme- When making a cake for a ducky theme, use blue butter cream as an outline of the pond and then fill it with blue gel to serve as the water. After that, find little ducky pieces and place them on top of the blue gel and give these mini duckies butter cream raindrops to have the desired ducky theme effect.

2. Butterfly Theme- Pipe a wonderful butterfly garden for the little angel with all the colorful flowers as well as the different sizes and shades of butterflies. To complete the effect, add a wandering little one on the top.

3. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Theme- Have the cake covered with sky blue fondant. Then use a white or yellow marshmallow fondant, roll it and cut it in a star-like shape with facial features and a dimpled smile.

4. Baby Blocks Theme- If you chose a theme such as a tea party or any other elegant theme for your baby shower, this cake is a good choice. When making this cake, fill it with jam then cut out the petit fours which will then be covered with fondant all over. Once they dry, decorate them with lettering. Have it arranged in a way that it spells out your message then decorate the rest of the petit fours perhaps, with pictures and other nice stuff.

If you opt to go without a theme for your baby shower cake, you can always put on cute baby pictures at the top of the frosting and you already have one unique baby shower cake designed according to your preference!

Decorating cakes is fun and easy. And having these cakes tailored to the baby shower theme that you chose makes the cake more meaningful and special for the event. The cake is not only a simple dessert, it conveys the true meaning of the celebration and that is to welcome the soon to be born little angel to the family.
