What to write on a baby shower cake

The saying you choose really depends on your special event. Is it a casual party, or are you planning for more of an elegant baby shower cake?

These sayings can also work for cupcakes. Cupcake pull-apart cakes are become more popular, as well as cupcakes with toothpick inserts. This is perfect for if your guests have dietary restrictions (i.e., you want some gluten free cupcakes) or if you just want a variety of flavors. Cupcakes are often more cost effective than a large cake, too.

You also have to decide whether you want baby’s gender to be a part of the cake. This may depend on your baby shower theme. For example, if you are having a nautical boy shower, then “Ahoy, little boy!” is a cute saying for the cake. But if everything is gender neutral, something as simple as “Welcome baby (last name)” might do the trick.

You’ll also want to consider how you are adding the wording to the cake. If you are planning to do fondant letters, stick with a short saying. If you are writing on the top of the cake with icing, you’ll probably have enough room for a longer saying, especially if you are going with a traditional sheet cake. Ask the future parents what their vision is for the special occasion – you might be surprised by their preference!

And lastly, if the parents to be don’t know the gender of their baby, go for a gender-neutral cake. A party theme that can go for either gender is a great idea and you can still do a beautiful cake without knowing baby’s gender.

Themed baby shower ideas

Planning a special event like a baby shower party is all about the little detail. Try some of these baby shower ideas with cake sayings.

Boy Story – A variation on Pixar’s Toy Story, you can plan everything to look like Andy’s room. The color scheme can be baby blue with pops of red and yellow, and you can tie in some cowbow themed things, too.

A Ballerina themed shower perfect for a baby girl on the way! Plan everything to be covered in light pink and tulle. Go for soft colors, like pink, white and purple, and stick with a simple cake saying like “Tutu Sweet” or “Tutus and twirls, welcome baby girl!”

A starry night theme – this is great for a gender neutral shower, or it can be girly or more masculine – depending on your style. Decorate with moons and stars and go for a navy and white color palette. This is a cute baby shower idea when you don’t know baby’s gender. You can write “Twinkle twinkle little star, how we wonder what you are” since you won’t know the gender until birth.

Personalized Baby Shower Cake Sayings

You can always make a cake more unique by adding in the name! Include the last name by saying Baby (Last Name), or you can include the parent’s names!

If you want to use a phrase that doesn’t include names, consider having it written on the cake board instead! That way you get the best of both worlds.
