Bridal Shower Cake Decorating

View:

One of the key features of a bridal shower is the cake. There for the cake should be special and unique. A standard sheet cake is something that has already been done many times over. When planning a bridal shower it is worth a bit of a look into the possibility of getting more creative for the bridal shower cake that doesn't cost too much money.

During the hot summer months guests may find a decorative ice cream cake to be refreshing. These cakes can be quite decorative and have the most unique flavors. Many ice cream shops that create ice cream cakes can do just about the same thing with decor as a regular bakery.

Base the cake around the theme of the bridal shower. If the theme of the bridal shower is a high tea then delicate mini cakes are a wonderful addition to any bridal shower party. These little cakes can be multiple colors and even multiple flavors. Allowing for each guest to sample one that may be more to his or her liking.

Sometimes it is best to not mess with tradition. Going with a traditional cake can still be done but it can be done with a more creative twist. Consider for the decoration of the cake writing a nice message for the bride or even some lines from a poem.

Other cake decorating ideas can include decorating the cake to look like the china pattern that the bride and groom registered for, having a photograph of the bride and groom put on the cake in frosting (this is a very neat effect) or even doing a scaled down version of the wedding cake that is planned for the big day. A floral design with the brides favorite flowers created in sugar and placed on top of the cake can be unique and elegant.

For the inside of the cake as well strongly consider a filling. Fruit fillings are very popular with many cakes. For example a chocolate cake with a strawberry filling or a vanilla cake with raspberry or peach filling. Most bakeries offer several options for fillings instead of having none or just more frosting in the middle.

When choosing what cake to go with for the bridal shower make sure to keep in mind not only the theme of the party but whether it is a formal or a more casual event. The more formal an event is the more likely that a traditional styled cake should be used. The more casual an event the more creative and unique the cake can be. Also keep in mind that though guests enjoy the cake and there will most likely several pictures of it, it does not have to break the bank. The bridal shower cake does not have to be extremely expensive.

Most importantly above all else mentioned here be sure to keep the bride's tastes in mind. Go with what she will like the most. Something that will make her smile or feel sentimental. This is a time to celebrate her and her love so the cake should be something that reflects that.

Bridal Shower Cake Decorating

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.

Bridal shower cakes, like the people who will be eating them, come in all different shapes and sizes. The size of your cake should depend on how many people will be attending the shower. This should be easy enough, provided you did not forget to tell your guests to RSVP! For larger showers it may make sense to make more than one cake in more than one flavor.

Since you've gone to so much work to make a beautiful cake (or you've ordered one from your favorite bakery), why not show it off! Use the cake as your centerpiece, making sure to keep other items far enough away from it so that your artwork is not messed up. Everyone takes pictures of the bridal shower cake, so give them plenty of opportunities. You can even personalize the cake with a cute saying such as "Showing You With Love", or something else suitable to the couple.

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!
