Unique Baby Shower Cake Designs

Helping Parents and Baby Boomer Grandparents

A baby shower is a special celebration, no matter how many times a woman has a baby. Thus, it is important that the guests have something to remember the event by, and what better way to remember such a special event by having the baby shower cake display a unique design?

Baby Shower Cake Idea #1: A Picture

A great way to commemorate a woman’s pregnancy is to go the nostalgic route, and remind her of when she was a baby. Get an especially adorable baby picture of the mother-to-be, and have it transposed onto the baby shower cake. You can also have words like “You must have been a beautiful baby,” included.

Baby Shower Cake Idea #2: Baby Booties

A common symbol of babyhood is a pair of baby booties. Thus, it could be a unique idea to have the baby shower cake made in the shape of baby booties. If the baby is to be a boy, then the cake should include blue frosting. If the baby is to be a girl, then the cake should include pink frosting. If the gender of the baby is still unknown, then pick a color like white, which is not gender-specific.

Baby Shower Cake Idea #3: A Bun in the Oven

Since being pregnant is sometimes referred to as having “a bun in the oven,” then a fun design for a cake would be to transpose a picture of an actual bun in an oven. Decorate the edges of the baby shower cake with words like “Congratulations on your bun in the oven!”

Baby Shower Cake Idea #4: A Baby Carriage

Take a baby carriage (it actually could be one of the gifts!) and line the bottom so that it is clean. Then, where the baby would be is where the cake is placed (the cake should ideally be a square cake). To make the idea even more unique, have the guests serve themselves directly from the carriage.
