What Type of Cake Should I Purchase?

• Baby Bootie Cake-No, I'm not talking about the baby's little bottom! A baby bootie cake is a cake designed in the shape of a baby bootie that fits on baby's tiny feet. It can be decorated in blue for a boy, pink for a girl, or yellow, green, lilac or white if the gender isn't known. White, lacy icing can be used as a trim.
• Baby Carriage Cake-This cake is shaped like a baby carriage, complete with an icing handle and yummy icing wheels.
• Baby Duck Cake-This cake is shaped like a duck, colored in a bright yellow frosting with white trim.
• Umbrella Cake-This cake is baked in the shape of an umbrella, with small baby decorations scattered over the cake.
• Baby Block Cake-This cake is actually sectioned into three blocks complete with the "abc's" on each of the blocks and decorated in pastel colors.

Most of the women I know, do not like cutesy baby showers, and roll their eyes at the multi-layered concoctions that make the prospective mothers often order. Having a modern baby shower means having a modern baby shower cake. That doesn't mean it has to be staid or boring. An elegant fruit tart is a great idea, or individual cakes is another option to go for - the individual cakes can have pink or blue icing if you want a subtle hint of the popular baby shower idea. A sheet cake is also a great option, because not only are they terribly easy to decorate, but they're huge and inexpensive, and can feed lots of people (in case your friends bring their husbands and children along). Whatever baby shower cake you choose, remember not to go to any extreme - making the cake too Disney-like and people will think you're infantile, but making the cake to nondescript will have your guests question your maternal instincts.
