Baby Shower Cake Ideas for Boys

If you know that the mom-to-be is having a boy, having a boy-based theme makes for fun and easy shower planning. But finding unique baby shower cake ideas for boys can be more challenging.

Using Blue Creatively
While blue is typically a color used on most boy-based baby shower cakes, you can use the color creatively to make your cake stand out. Trying using different shades of blue frosting on the cake: a light blue for base color of the cake, navy blue for the lettering, and varying shades of blue for whatever design you put on it. If you prefer a cake topper to a design, be sure to get something that is mostly blue like blue baby shoes or a blue rattle.

Make the Cake Blue
To add a fun surprise to the cake, try making the cake itself blue. Either make a white cake or buy a white cake mix and add blue paste food coloring to the batter before baking. To make the blue cake a surprise, frost it with white frosting and decorate it. If you are looking for a dark blue color, add a touch of violet food paste coloring as well. If you use regular liquid food coloring, the cake will likely turn out to be more of a greenish-blue color.
