A baby shower cake is the sweet centerpiece of this special celebration. As you plan for the shower, deciding what to write on the cake is an opportunity to share your joy and blessings with the parents-to-be and their little one.
The message on the cake can reflect details you know, like the baby’s gender or name, or be a more general sentiment welcoming the new arrival. Whether you go the simple route or get creative with the decorations, the cake message will be a memorable keepsake from this happy occasion.
How to Write on a Baby Shower Cake
Before settling on the perfect baby shower cake saying, here are some tips to make the process go smoothly:
- Choose a short phrase that fits the space on your cake. Long messages may be hard to read.
- Use a piping bag to neatly pipe words and decorations. A writing tip gives you more control.
- Pick contrasting colors so the words stand out against the frosting.
- Double-check spelling before writing or ordering. Bonus points if you can incorporate a cute play on words!
- Make it personal by including the baby’s name, the parent’s name, or a heartfelt message.
