Wedding shower cakes are the highlight of bridal showers. There are no rules to be followed with them, so let your imagination run. There is really no need to go for a usual multi-tier cake, you can think of any size and shape that goes with the wedding shower themes. As this occasion is meant to shower the bride with gifts and arrange lots of fun time for her and her relatives, it would be better to plan something great that will make the occasion even more special.

Designs To Choose From

Let's take a look at some wedding shower cakes designs, you can choose any one of these or use the ideas here to create something of your own:

• Message cake: You can get a huge single tier or a layered cake; provide some icing cones so that guests can leave messages on it.
• Groom message cake: Let the groom add a special message for her bride on the cake. You can ask him to write it down or get it written in the cake shop.
• Picture cake: You can get the bride and grooms pictures transferred on the wedding shower cakes.
• Fake cake centerpiece: You can make a fake cake out of cloth pieces, in the shape of a centre tower. Now special messages, cash or gifts can be rolled on to each cloth piece which the bride can open during the shower.
• Cup cakes: Instead of huge wedding shower cakes, you can design a multi-layer cup cake. This can be made of cup cakes, cheese cakes and muffins. Shower it with colorful candies and chocolate shavings.

Choose The Topper

After selecting the type of wedding shower cake, it is time to select the cake topper. The topper should reveal something special about the bride and groom, but should not over-power the cake itself. It would be excellent if you are able to get a cake topper that goes with the wedding shower theme. It will make the entire occasion look well coordinated. Similarly, the wedding shower games can be planned around the theme. For example, if the theme is kitchen items, then you can make a memory game of kitchen items, or use some taste-it games etc.

The wedding showers are a way to tell the bride and groom that everyone is going to have fun and thus should be less formal in nature. The actual marriage ceremony is mostly very formal in nature and there is no scope for fun. Thus, try to make this event very friendly, where people can interact, laugh and enjoy themselves. Keep the theme such that the couple gets gifts which they would wish to have in their new home and new life. The wedding shower cakes are something the bride and the guests, remember for long. So roll up your sleeves and get started on planning a great party.
