Party Ideas - The Cake

Don’t Forget

The cake! A baby shower is a happy event, perfect for light hearted, fun entertaining. It is very common to have a cake at the baby shower and we even have glitter candles spelling baby shower to add those finishing touches to your cake. We also have a lovely selection of cake decorations. You can buy baby themed cakes from the supermarkets, arrange for a personalised one to be made at your local cake shop/bakery or why not be brave and make it yourself!!!

The design and shape of the cake can be simple or extremely ambitious! Popular designs include flowers, birds, butterflies, baby-shaped and children's toys. The most popular colours of cakes are yellow, pink, blue, green and white. Think about your baby shower themes, plus a little imagination and you can come up with a unique baby shower cake. You will be surprised how easy it is to make and decorate a cake on your own.

Cakes will help set the happy tone for your baby shower. A baby shower cake serves a double purpose as both a great centerpiece and dessert! You can use it as a wonderful baby shower centerpiece to make a special party setting that every guest can share and enjoy.

Also Remember!
Think about all of the little things you might need during the shower and have these ready prior to guests arriving. If you are playing games you may need props, paper and pencils. Be prepared to record gifts as they are opened.

If the shower is in your home, plan ahead for the entertaining items you will need during the party. This includes chairs, serving dishes, extra tables, ice, candles etc. If your shower will be outside of the home, make reservations in advance for the size of your group and confirm a week before the shower.

Music is a nice touch! Make sure to have a nice selection on hand if it is appropriate for the type of shower you are hosting.
Depending on your group, you might find nametags and/or place cards to be beneficial. These can be bought from our party material and decorations.
Be prepared to handle the gift wrappings with plenty of large bin bags on hand. Also be ready to help the guest of honor pack up the gifts and/or transport to her home. She will appreciate this extra effort.
