The baby shower cake:
A baby shower cake is made to look like baby blocks. This cake is a little time consuming to make, but we're sure it'll make a great impression.
Decorating the cake:
To make a square-shaped cake, you have a couple of options.
- Cut a sheet cake (using a jelly roll pan) into even sized squares. We recommend 6-inch squares for this cake. Proceed by stacking layers of cake on top of each other to achieve a block shape.
- Purchase mini square cake pans. Proceed by stacking individuals cakes on top of each other.
Prepare your desired flavor of cake. Check out our cake recipes. Freeze cake before frosting.
Prepare a triple batch of our basic white frosting. Also, prepare a double batch of our cake decorating gel, divide into three parts, and dye gel in your baby shower colors.
To decorate baby block cakes, start with one square of cake, top with white frosting, stack another cake square, and so on until your cake is block-shaped. Continue by frosting sides and top of cake block. When cakes have been frosted, decorate with the cake decorating gel. Simply place decorating gel in a zip-top plastic baggie, cut a tiny corner off, and squeeze gel out.
