Preparing for a baby shower party can be a tedious task. You need to specify a guest list. You need to conceptualize the theme, print and send invitations, and then prepare the special date itself.
For parties, you will think about what decorations will be used in that place, what will be the program, what games to have, what baby shower favors to give, and, what should be served.
During the baby shower party, the center of the table is most likely a baby shower cake. Baby shower cakes cannot be similar to cakes that can only be bought from a local bakery.
It's better if you or one of the guests makes a Baby Shower Cake. Doing so will also convince you that the cake will be served as the center table according to the theme you have conceptualized.
Of course, preordering 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 the cake for the baby shower party concept and how you want the cake to look.
However, if you have grilling skills, or if you can follow the instructions from the cookbook properly, it will be better if you prepare your own cake. You can use your creativity to design and you can always ask for help from friends. No need to mention, it's also cheaper.
To prepare baby shower cakes, check online for recipes and designs that have been tried and tested. You can also choose the taste of baby shower cakes. Usually, designs and shapes of Baby Shower Cakes are nursery items. These are flowers, birds, butterflies, babies, toys and other children's items. The most common icing colors are yellow, pink, blue, green and white.
Also, if you have scheduled a baby shower after the baby is born, you can also request baby photos and make a professional cake decorator to make and design edible cakes using baby pictures.
Another idea for baby shower cakes is to use diapers. Right - diaper. Of course, this cake is not for guests to enjoy. However, the mother will certainly appreciate that if there is already a stack of diapers prepared for her baby.
To prepare a diaper cake, all you need to do is carefully stack the diapers into several levels (three levels recommended). You can use a rope and ribbon to keep the diaper in place. However, make sure you don't tie the diaper too tightly to prevent it from changing shape. Defective diapers will be in vain and will only end up in the trash.
Diaper cakes can also be placed in the center of the table. If you still prefer to have original cakes for baby showers, you can bake or order a simple cake from a bakeshop. After preparing the center of the table, you should combine it with good baby shower food. Most of the time, snacks, tea, desserts, and punches are served. You can also have several barbecues and grilled food, if you invite a number of male guests. Fathers can tie and hold several conversations while attending the grill. In this way, everyone can participate in welcoming new family members.
