Deco trends for a successful baby shower cake
Trends evolve, and baby shower cakes are no exception. Here are the most popular styles in French-speaking Switzerland:
- Gender reveal: the great classic! Opt for our pink and blue theme and hide pink or blue sprinkles inside your cake for the big reveal. Add a confetti cannon for a spectacular effect at the moment of cutting.
- Neutral and elegant: The gender neutral trend is becoming increasingly popular. Our white and gold collection offers a refined aesthetic, perfect for a timelessly chic baby shower cake. Golden sugar pearls, calligraphic toppers and a pearly topping create a luxurious ambience.
- Botanical and natural: The Botanical theme focuses on green tones, foliage and organic textures. Ideal for a sugarpaste baby shower cake decorated with edible leaves and flowers.
- Retro sweetness: The Born to be loved theme with its soft hues and vintage motifs brings a nostalgic and tender touch to your party table.
How to decorate a baby shower cake step by step
Making an impressive baby shower cake is within everyone's reach with the right materials. Here's our step-by-step guide:
1. Choose your base: a 2- or 3-tier layer cake is the most popular format. Use suitable baking trays if you prefer individual baby shower cupcakes.
2. Prepare your icing: Buttercream tinted with gel food coloring gives a smooth finish and perfect pastel colors. For a gender reveal cake, prepare a neutral icing on the outside and garnish the inside with colored sprinkles.
3. Decorate with style: Arrange sugar decorations on the top and sides: baby feet, baby carriages, stars or pearls. Plant a baby shower topper at the top for an instant "wow" effect.
4. Add the finishing touches: A resin or sugar baby figurine placed on the cake adds a touch of tenderness. Complete with a presentation tray to match your theme.

Frequently asked questions about baby shower cakes
When to prepare the cake for a baby shower?
Ideally, prepare the sponge cakes or layers the day before and keep them shrink-wrapped in the fridge. You can assemble and decorate the baby shower cake on the morning of the party. Sugar decorations and toppers should be placed last, to keep them fresh.
How do you make a gender reveal cake?
The principle is simple: the outside of the cake remains neutral (white, gold or green), while the inside hides the surprise. Garnish the center with pink or blue sprinkles, or make layers of sponge cake tinted with food coloring. When you cut out the sprinkles, the color will reveal the baby's gender! Top it all off with a confetti cannon for an even more memorable moment.
What edible decorations should I choose for a baby shower cake?
It all depends on your theme. For a classic style, opt for sugar beads, sugar baby feet and stars. For a more modern, streamlined look, white and gold decorations are ideal. Browse our selection of edible baby shower decorations for inspiration.
