The baby shower cake should pull the entire theme and/or colors of the baby shower together. Decide what size of baby shower cake you will need. The size of the cake will depend upon how many people will be attending the baby shower. Tell the baker the approximate number of party goers you are expecting–and then ask to have the cake slightly larger. This will ensure that you have enough cake for those who show up without an RSVP. It will also enable the mother-to-be to save a piece for daddy!

Cakes should be ordered well ahead of time . You may be surprised to learn that many bakers are booked weeks in advance. Contact the baker of your choice, select your cake and plan the pickup date for the morning of the baby shower. Be sure to inquire about their hours – your bakery may have different hours or be closed on weekends when many showers are held.

Call the baker a few days prior to the baby shower. Go over the baby shower cake details again just to make sure you are both on the same page.
