Naked Cakes
If you’re short on time or new to baking, why not try a ‘naked cake’? They’re a very popular wedding cake style but we think they make an elegant baby shower cake too. Simply add a cute cupcake topper such as ‘hello world’ to complete the look!
Cheeky Cakes
Who says baby shower cakes need to be serious? This ‘happy pushing’ naked cake is fun, simple and will delight everyone with its honesty!
Modern Cakes
Looking for a cake that isn’t all pastel pink and blue? Why not create a fun sprinkle cake – simple create a sponge layer cake, ice with buttercream and throw sprinkles over it liberally. We also love this geometric cake for the ultra-cool, design-loving mum to be, simply roll out fondant triangles and apply in a chic pattern.
White on White Cakes
This is the perfect style for a mum-to-be that’s waiting until the big day to discover her baby’s gender. From simple and understated to intricate and ornate, white on white cakes will grow in popularity in the year ahead, and we can see why – they’re beautiful!
Gender Reveal Cakes
Gender reveal cakes show no sign of slowing down in popularity and we’re loving that they’re achievable for all skill levels. Beginners can experiment with a simple buttercream iced ombre cake or lolly filled cake, while more advanced decorators can experiment with fondant booties, plaques, text or cute little buzzy bees.
Baby Bump Cakes
They’re popping up everywhere and easy to make – baby bump cakes. Decorate with fondant or buttercream icing and customise to suit the gender and style of the mum to be! Have plenty of Queen fondant ready for this creation!
Nappy Bag Cakes
Here’s one for the adventurous, a nappy (or diaper, depending where you’re from) bag cake! Not only will it steal the show, it will be talked about for years afterwards. See our fondant decorating tips and give it a try!
Grey and Pastel Cakes
Elegant grey and pastel coloured baby shower cakes continue to reign in popularity. We love the flat shapes on the side of this cake (easy for all skill levels) plus the sweet little giraffe topper that can be made a week ahead. For the adventurous, this clothes line full of sweet little baby clothes is a wonderful treat for the mum-to-be as well!
