Recently, I’ve realized how much fun I have creating cakes for baby showers. Sure it gets a little monotonous.. there’s only two possible outcomes and only so many colors (though usually it comes down to pink or blue!)… but I find each shower I do, I tweak my designs and change them up a little bit to really create something unique.
This shower was for a mom-to-be whom I met through my best friend’s family. I was so excited to hear the colors included purple!! Don’t get me wrong, I love pink, but it’s nice to throw other colors in there for contrast and purple is my favorite color!
One thing I decided to change up was my display. The circular plates with the ribbon that I usually use are so perfect for baby showers – the ribbon ties in the theme and the presentation is always adorable but like I said, I am trying to tweak everything and switch it up! So I opted for the square, white enamel plates—and elegant design but no room for bows L I couldn’t deal with all that white showing, so I decided to cover the surface with fun, polka dotted paper that screamed “baby!!” to me!
I wanted the cake-babies to be feminine and pretty, but fun—like the expectant mother! So instead of the usual flowers, I decided to give the little girls bows, and I am so in love with the finished product. The rosy cheeks added a perfect finish and I hear they were devoured in five minutes so nothing makes me happier than that!
And here is the finished product!
With the transition from babies and weddings to the holidays, I am excited to jump into different projects such as apple crisp, mini pies and peppermint bark! And of course, cake pops… It’s going to be an exciting few months, filled with the hustle and bustle of Christmas… just don’t forget to be present in your moments, especially the ones spent with family and friends! Don’t rush the holidays, take them minute by minute, or bite by bite, and savor them! I am excited to see what this holiday season brings!
