This first cake below was the one that initially caught my eye. I went swoon…. So, I decided blog about baby shower cakes, and let you join in the fun. Just in case you are throwing a friend a baby shower …. , I’m sharing all my findings with you all. And btw. many of these baby shower cakes are perfect designs for birthday cakes for baby’s first, second or third year celebration as well.

I have 3 things in this article: The first round-up are cake designs that we can just aspire to make, or photos to take along to your local bakery. But I am not leaving you hanging there. I have two cake fondant tutorials for you, one to make a fondant baby shoe (choose pink or blue) and other tutorial is for how to make a beautiful fondant ribbon and bow. Last but not least, I thought to share a chocolate ganache cake recipe, as that is the perfect  baby shower cake in my opinion, (because I’m a chocoholic ;-)

Baby Shower Cake Designs

Baby Shower Cake Design #1 w/ clothes lines, blocks and teddy bear

This is my favorite baby shower cake. It is a chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling, made with 70% Green & Black organic chocolate and double cream.  Rich and delightful. Before the final push, any mom to be will be besotted with this cake. Hopefully she does not have pregnancy diabetes…

What you can’t see from the side of the cake, is this cutie!

This little teddy sits on top of the cake shown above.

Second one of my Baby Shower Cakes, also w/ Teddy Bears + Blocks

I love the colors of this cake. It feels like a baby room. Really sweet, light and airy.

Moist Golden Vanilla Cake, with smooth and decadent dark chocolate ganache filling. This cake is frosted in vanilla sugar paste, which is layered over a base layer of vanilla buttercream. Sounds delicious! It was meant to be for a gender neutral baby shower, but I feel it’s perfectly boyish.

Baby Shower Cake Design #3, bathtub with rubber ducks

This is Star Bakery’s take on the classic barrel cake transformed into a baby bubble bath.  A barrel cake is another name for a pigs in mud  kit kat birthday cake, that we featured before.
