The baby shower cake:
A cute baby bottle cake is served at your baby shower. Decorating is done using a pastry bag and decorative tip.
Decorating the cake:
Start out with a cake such as our classic chocolate cake. Freeze cake for at least two hours before frosting. Prepare a double recipe of our basic white frosting. Reserve 1/2 cup.
Place cake on decorating board. Frost cake with basic white frosting. Pipe border, using a pastry bag, with white frosting around outer top edge. Proceed with piping the bottom border with a turquoise frosting (dyed with the 1/2 cup of reserved frosting.)
To place bottle in cake, scoop out a couple of tablespoons from the top of the cake. Place bottle in this 'hole'. Pipe remaining turquoise frosting around the bottle area. Add cake decorations such as sprinkles and balloons.
Variations:
Consider altering colors to fit your baby shower color scheme.
