After discovering a very disturbing and totally creepy baby shower cake (which you can check out here), I started to think about the other side of the bakery aisle. The tasteful, stylish and pretty celebratory concoctions that have been presented at baby showers.
Here are ten of the coolest baby shower cakes floating around the internet, having their likeness saved for prosperity before they disappear into partygoer’s tummies.
Baby Shower Rubber Duck Cake (above)
Who doesn’t love a rubber ducky? This cake pays homage to everyone’s favorite bath toy in the form of a pair swimming through a sea of icing. And best of all, the ducks can be recycled and actually used for the baby, which isn’t the case of 90% of cake decorations out there. You can get the instructions on how to create your own right here.
Classy Cake
This is pert near the opposite of a tacky joke shower cake. This baby is all sugary sweet class. This is from Pink Cake Box here.
The Belly Cake
This fancy fondant cake is a tribute to the belly in all its pregnant glory. It’s cute, kinda sexy and highly entertaining. But cutting it open for serving only seems appropriate if the honoree is scheduled for a C-Section. You can check out that cake here.
The Twin Cake
For those expecting double the trouble, here’s a cake for the soon-to-be mom of twins. Two baby carriages, oodles of number twos and bottles and pacifiers galore decorate this towering cake. This cake is from the Sugar Loft Cake Shoppe in Osage Beach, MO right here.
The Photo Cake
The mom who is about to have a baby once was a baby herself. The photo cake is a reminder to all about the cycle of life (the happy part of the cycle that is). This cake was found right here and is one you can easily get done at a bakery near you.
Retro Style
This is one of my favorites of the bunch. Simple, stylish and totally retro. It looks like a cake that could have been featured in McCalls in 1972. Sparkle Cakes created this polka dot silhouette cake, you can check them out right here.
Baby Takes Over the Cake cake
Who’s baby shower is this? It’s all about the baby right? This cake puts the baby front and center as the focus point of the baby blue masterpiece. Yeah, it’s all about him. This was created by Pink Cake Box here.
Pink & Polka Dots
By the time I got to this cake, I realized that polka dots seems to be a strong theme and motif for baby shower cakes. Is it representing the mother’s egg, her womb, her belly? Or is it just that dots are cool? Yeah, I thought so. By Sublime Slice here
Baby Blocks
Why have one cake when you can have six? This series of square cakes are based on the basic baby blocks announcing the sex for all to see. The creator of this cake is here and boy must their arms be tired...that's a whole lot of sides to frost.
Rump Cake
I can’t figure out if this cake is cute or tacky. I’m totally on the fence. But I do know one thing…there are polka dots on it! People often say that baby's are cute enough to 'eat', this cake takes that pretty literally. This bottom was found here.
Let's Hear it for Cupcakes!
Yeah, I’m a sucker for a cupcake. These from the UK here.
Which one is your favorite?
