These favourite foods can be recreated using fondant and cake batter, in a way that they donāt look like cakes. While this is a seemingly unconventional route, the mom-to-be will definitely like this baby shower surprise.

Some Other Trending Baby Shower Cake Ideas
A fun baby shower cake idea revolves around some interesting wordplay - a bee-themed cake is very popular among a mom-to-be (or āmom-to beeā)! You can either get an actual bee-shaped cake or get a normal cake in black-and-yellow, the colours of bees. Cakes like these are gender neutral and are popular in India, where the sex of the child is not known until birth.

For those who like going traditional, cakes with a half-blue/half-pink design are also much-loved for baby showers. You could either opt for frosting in the two colours or add a fun twist with pink and blue cupcakes, pink and blue baby shoes in fondant, pink and blue teddy bears or toppers with words like āhe or she?ā. One cool idea can also be to write fun rhymes or poems on the cake to commemorate the special day.
Moms-to-be deserve to be pampered to build the excitement and calm the nerves that getting close to the due date brings. A baby shower is your chance to do just that and make sure there is enough for her and everyone else involved too. No matter how the day turns out, a thoughtful cake will always make it better. You can pick from recreations of toys, simple cakes decked with flowers, fruit-based cakes or a bunch of cupcakes and they will all do the job well.
