Here is a creative baby shower cake idea that is simple to create and very cute. It is very unique in that you can provide three different cake flavors for choosy guests to enjoy.
Butterfly edible baby shower cake idea:
What you will need:
- 3 cake mixes (You can use all one flavor, or you can use three different to provide choices for the guests.)
- 2 heart shaped baking pans
- 1 muffin or cupcake pan
- 1 piece of very strong cardboard to fit the finished cake
- Enough icing for 3 cake mixes (A really great idea is to buy all white icing and food coloring so you can create pretty pastel colors yourself.)
- A roll of baby shower gift
- Assorted candies to decorate with (Jelly Beans, Twizzlers, Mike & Ike’s)
How to make this great edible baby shower cake idea:
1. First you will bake the cakes. Do so according to package directions. If you’re using three different flavors, use one flavor for each heart pan and one flavor for the cupcakes. Be sure to grease the pans liberally and flour them. Allow the cakes to cool completely before beginning to decorate.
2. While you’re waiting for the cakes to cool, you can cover the cardboard with the pretty wrapping paper. Just tape it on the bottom very well so it won’t come off.
3. Using two different bowls, divide the icing into two parts. If the baby that’s coming is a girl, you can add a few drops of red food coloring to one bowl of the icing to make a pretty pink. If it’s a boy, a few drops of blue or green will make a pretty pastel color.
4. For this great baby shower cake idea, you will want to add a few drops of yellow to the other bowl to make a pretty pastel yellow.
5. When the cakes are cool, remove them from the pans carefully, and place them on something to decorate with. (You don’t want to put them on the cardboard yet.) Ice about six or seven of the cupcakes with the pastel yellow icing.
6. Ice the heart shaped cakes with the other color icing. Now you will place the cupcakes in the center of the cardboard. Place the heart shaped cakes on either side of the cupcakes, the point of the heart towards the cupcakes. See? A butterfly!
7. Now you can decorate the butterfly in any pretty way you like. A great idea is to use pieces of the Twizzlers for antennae, and Jelly Beans for the eyes. Use pretty decorations for the wings, and feel free to make up your own cute ideas for this baby shower cake ideas.
8. A really cute idea is to use fresh flowers and cut them right at the blooms to place around the butterfly.
Your guests will go head over heels in love with this edible baby shower cake idea, and the Mom-to be will never forget it. The different flavored cakes will make sure that all the guests get a piece that they will enjoy. Have fun with this one.
