Bridal Shower Cakes And Shower Preparations

By: Stephanie Smith

Bridal showers are exciting. Few occasions on earth are happier than seeing one of your beloved friends get married to someone he or she loves. With this joy, however, comes a great deal of work. Showers require preparation, and lots of it. You have to send out invitations, get the house ready, and of course provide refreshments which will often include a bridal shower cake. This last task, however, can be lots of fun if you're willing to make the cake yourself. Be creative with your cakes and you'll be sure to have a hit.

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.

Once you know how you want the cake decorated, you'll want to decide on what flavor to choose. This largely depends on personal preference. Do you know if the bride prefers plain yellow cake, or chocolate? How about both, or perhaps a different flavor altogether? Rest assured that there are almost as many flavors of cake as there are cake decorations! Take a look through your favorite cookbook or the baking aisle in your grocery store.

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!
