Bridal Shower Cakes Tips And Tricks - By: Stephanie Smith, Posted on: 2007-08-07

A shower for the bride to be can be a very fun and rewarding event. If you're hosting a shower I'm sure you've already figured out that there is a lot of planning and preparation involved. One of the things that often gets left until last is the decorating, including the bridal shower cake. While it is part of the menu planning, the cake is also a very decorative part of the bridal shower.

Bridal shower cake ideas should be carefully thought through before making any decision. Depending on the tastes of the lucky couple, you will either need an extraordinary cake that is highly decorated or a simple and smaller cake, if the couple is celebrating with an intimate group. Keep in mind that it's the couple that should be satisfied with your decision.

A key decorating bridal shower item is the cake. Will it be a beach wedding, or in a park? If so, you may want to go with a themed shower cake. Personalizing the cake just for the bride and groom is always a special gesture, or you could choose to decorate the cake with romantic and traditional items such as hearts, flowers or wedding bells.

Now that the cake decorations have been picked out, you can turn your focus on the cake itself - by picking which flavor or flavors you want the cake to be. This decision is mostly based on individual opinion. Does the bride prefer plain angel food cake or rich german chocolate cake? Maybe both, or possibly a different choice entirely. Knowing that there are many unique cake flavors and decorations should put your mind at ease. If you're looking for something a little different, look for cake recipes online and make sure to make a sample cake beforehand to see how it tastes.

Eventually you will wish to choose what size your cake is. Bridal shower cakes, needless to say, come in all different sizes. The size you choose will depend on how many people will be attending the shower. Make sure to ask your guests to RSVP so you will know how much to cake to have. It's always a nice idea to cake a slightly larger cake than you need so the leftovers can be sent home for the bride and groom.

The bridal shower cake can be used quite effectively as a centerpiece, especially if it is decorated and has a message of best wishes written on it. Some popular phrases for cakes are "Happy Shower", "Congratulations", and "For The Perfect Couple". If you're planning to have more than one cake, consider using them in different areas as decorations until it's time to serve them. Just make sure to keep them out of reach of small children who might be curious about them.

When all is said and done, the thought behind the bridal shower and cake is what counts, so don't fret too much over what cake to choose. The cake is only one aspect of the bridal shower so if it doesn't turn out to your expectations, don't worry. The shower will be fun anyway!
