So, do you make or buy creative cakes for baby showers that is the question on everyone's mind? Well the simple answer would be to do whichever is best for you. Some people are great at baking cakes and are absolute creative geniuses when it comes to coming up with the perfect shape, mold, decorations, and frosting. Others balk at the concept of actually having to use an oven for something other than pizza. I'm somewhere in the middle so the decision ultimately depends on what my schedule looks like prior to the shower.

Whether or not you chose to make or buy a cake for a baby shower, there are plenty of sources for ideas on the Internet and at your local bakery. I always like going to the bakery and checking out their offerings and the price. If I would have to purchase a mold for the cake, then it might actually be more cost efficient to have the bakery make the cake. If I already have the mold I want, then it will ultimately come down to available time and energy. Being in a bakery may give you other ideas for candy molds and mints and such though so it's never a bad idea to take a look, even if you decide to bake your own.

You should keep in mind the overall theme you are trying to achieve and select a cake that will work well with that theme. You don't have to go all out and do over the top fancy, you could in fact, just use creative coloring and have the perfect cake for your shower with a simple round cake pan. Round cakes can become ladybugs or soccer balls with just a little creative use of food coloring. It's really amazing what can be done with a small dose of imagination combined with a large dose of food coloring.

You don't have to fret too much over the decision of whether to make or buy creative cakes for baby showers, believe me, whatever you decide, most guests will care more for the flavor of the cake than how the cake looks. Whatever you decide about the cake to be eaten, don't forget about the diaper cake, which can make a lovely centerpiece for your gift table in addition to being a great gift for the mother to be. This is a party when you can literally have your cake and eat it too. I found some good information on discount baby shower supplies here.
