Throwing a bridal shower? Make it extra special and unforgettable by serving a truly delicious and unique bridal shower cake. Other than the bride-to-be, the bridal shower cake is usually one of the focal points of the celebration. Make the occasion truly special by having a bridal shower cake specially created. Or, if you have the skills, bake one yourself. Here are some ideas to help you out:
1. The cake is it
Before settling on a great bridal shower cake design, decide what kind of cake flavor you should get. When you do, make sure it's the flavor that will be enjoyed by everyone on the guest list, especially the bride. Maybe you're partial to ginger-flavored cake but if the rest of the party isn't crazy about it, they won't enjoy the shower as much.
Pick the ones that are easy to like such as chocolate cake, lemon sponge or even carrot cake. They can be paired with almost any icing or frosting available and will be appreciated well by the bridal shower participants.
2. Theme-flavored bridal shower cake
If you have a bridal shower theme, a good bridal shower cake design would be one that reflects the occasion. Go for lots of pink and red hearts as toppings if you're having hearts as the main theme or use lots of royal icing flowers if you're having a garden shower party.
Another great topper for a bridal shower cake are umbrella-shaped cookies. Take several cookies, spread icing on top and pipe the outlines of the umbrella. Sprinkle with fun colors and flavors or add toppings like dried fruit, chocolate chips or candies.
3. Bring out the bridal court
A nice way to present a bridal shower cake is to serve it as smaller-sized servings. Take a big cake and cut it into cupcake-size smaller cakes. Coat these mini cakes separately and top with the appropriate designs. That way, cake is easier and less messy to serve.
Another great way to serve multiple tiny cakes is to actually use cupcakes. Decorate each cupcake to make them resemble the bridal entourage. Dress up with fondant and royal icing, buttercream, tiny flowers, edible beads and pearls then arrange in individual holders to create a small pyramid, with the 'bride' cupcake on top, of course.
