When you're holding a baby shower one of the most important items that you'll serve is the baby shower cake. They should be the highlight of the food lineup and should be served with a selection of desserts, finger food and cookies. They can come in all shapes and sizes, including baby cakes, diaper cakes and bootie baby cakes.
When you're planning what type of cakes to prepare for the shower you'll find many cake cookbooks from which to make your selection. If you know the baby is a girl you can decorate the cake in a pink style. The same goes if the baby is a boy, in which case you'll want to focus on blue or green colors.
Baby Food Processor
Cakes can be either one large cake, or you can make several smaller individual cakes which can be created for each guest that is invited.
The main focus of cakes is of course the expectant mother. Baby cakes make a great centerpiece that will bring a smile to any expectant mother. Diaper cakes also continue to be popular and are easy to make and assemble.
When you're planning which cakes that you want to make you can be as creative as you like. There are cookbooks available that feature some great ideas that you can adapt to fit your theme. If the theme of the baby shower is the alphabet you can find cakes that highlight this theme. There is no limit to the types of cakes that you can choose from for the shower.
Many times the cakes themselves create the theme for the shower. This is because the cakes can be the focus and centerpiece of the entire party. You can plan all the decorations, food and themes around the type of shower cake you decide to feature.
When you're looking for cake recipes you can find cookbooks in the recipe section in your local bookstore or library. You can also find a selection of recipes for cakes and diaper cakes on the internet. If you can't find the exact recipe that you have in mind for your shower you can make any adaptations that you need to modify the cake to your liking.
Cakes should be as fun and creative as possible. There may be times when you want to hire someone to make the perfect cake. But keep in mind that half the fun of a shower is doing things yourself. Using your imagination, and a little help from cookbooks you can come up with the most amazing cakes imaginable.
There are many different types of cakes that you can choose from or that you can use as a starting base for your own cake ideas. Diaper cakes can often be paired up with edible cakes. This way you have the fun of a cake made from diapers and the deliciousness of an edible cake that everyone can enjoy.
Some themes you might want to use include:
1. Sports theme for boys
2. Princess cakes in pink for girls
3. Jungle animals for boys
4. Fairy theme for girls
No matter what type of cake you take into consideration your final choice should somehow reflect the theme of the baby shower.

Christmas Sales Cuisinart DLC-2ABC Mini-Prep Plus Food Processor, Brushed Chrome Overview
Powerful, versatile, and blessed with sleek good looks, this processor packs a lot into a small package. The 3-cup workbowl is convenient for many prep tasks and the exclusive SmartPower Blade auto-reverses to chop or grind at your command. Unlike larger models, this machine takes up very little counterspace, so leave it out to help you with daily meal prep like chopping onions, making garden fresh salsas and more.This little 250-watt workhorse comes in handy when a full-size food processor is unnecessary. The 3-cup work bowl is just right for making pesto or a salad dressing, and two receptacles in the lid have pinholes for one or two oils to stream into the bowl while the processor is blending a perfect emulsion. It's also ideal for chopping and grinding. Pressing the "chop" button deploys the sharp edge of Cuisinart's patented reversible blade to chop onions, herbs, or bread crumbs. Pressing the "grind" button whirls the blade in the other direction so its blunt side can grind nuts, coffee beans, or cheese. Compact at just 9 inches high and lightweight (it has a plastic body), the Mini Prep Plus can be tucked away in a cabinet, and the little spatula accompanying it goes into a drawer. It carries an 18-month warranty against defects. The plastic work bowl and lid are dishwasher-safe, but the stainless-steel blade should be hand washed to protect its edges. --Fred BrackChristmas Sales Cuisinart DLC-2ABC Mini-Prep Plus Food Processor, Brushed Chrome Specifications
