Baby Animals
Baby animals of all kinds represent some of the most popular themes in baby shower cake decorating. Animal themes are appropriate for babies of either sex. Cakes can be decorated with simple depictions of animals, or the cake itself can be cut in the shape of the animal. Chicks, lambs, elephants, and monkeys are popular choices for baby shower cakes. How can you get this kind of cake? You can either try to make it yourself or order it from a bakery. Baby shower cakes are a popular choice amongst bakeries, so you can get one at a very good price.

Mommy Had a Little Lamb Mommy Had a Little Lamb

The little lamb cake is very cute and very easy to create. Frost a round cake with white icing. Add a single ring of marshmallows all around the circumference of the cake, and two or three extra rows of marshmallows around the top half of the circle for the lamb’s fleece. For the ears, color two marshmallows pink with icing or colored sugar and pinch to a point. Place a pink jellybean in the center of the cake for a nose. A few simple semi-circles in black icing represent the eyes and the mouth.

Toys
Traditional baby toys are great inspirations for cake decorations. Teddy bears, rattles, alphabet blocks, Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls, sock puppets, and any other childhood favorites would make a great cake. Here are a few ideas for alphabet block cakes.

Baby’ First Blocks Baby' First Blocks

It’s very easy to cut out block shapes with cake and decorate with a single letter per block. If you aren’t handy with writing in icing, most places that sell cake decorating supplies will have pre-made edible letters. You can use a different color for each block or stick to a single color theme. Use the blocks to spell out “Baby”, the sentence “It’s a boy/girl” or the baby’s name.

The baby buggy cake is elegant but easy to make and looks great in any color. Take a round cake and cut out the upper right quadrant. Pipe a line of icing straight across the middle, then add three or four more angled lines from the center of the cake to the edge of the upper left quadrant to create the buggy’s canopy. For wheels, use doughnuts, cookies, or cut circles from the quadrant you removed and draw spokes with piped icing.
