I am good at making cakes (I am not bragging) anyhow my neighbor is having a baby shower April 7th and here is my idea so tell me what you think:
Strawberry Cake with Strawberry Icing with white rosettes. A baby girl trinket box ontp of the cake along with congrats and it's a girl. These would be decorations for the cake cause i am not going to write anything on it.
(I made one like above for my sister and she loved it but i am wondering if you all would have anymore ideals as to what to put on top of the cake?)
Thanks and sorry that this is long.

I think it sounds like a very thoughtful idea but I do also agree with the first poster. Im sure they have already ordered a cake. This would be great for the family after she has the baby as well when she has NO time to bake. Wish I had a neighbor like you!!
YOU ROCK!!

everything about ur cake idea is wonderfull & since u make it urself it makes it even specialer For the finishing touch in ur trinket box put a 10 or 20 $ bill with instructions 2 use the $ bill 2 open ingdirect.com savings acct 4 the newborn once it gets it's SS# which is automatic in about 4 weeks include in instruction that they should deposit 10 or 20 $ a month into the acct & all cash gifts the baby recieves for its 1st 3 yrs. this can really add up by the time the kid wants her 1st car or when they boot her out 4 her 1st apt. they can even have the 10 or 20$ automaticly transfered from a ck. acct. & won't miss it. I do this for my grand kids & they think I'm wonderfull & like I say I don't even miss the 50 or 60 cents a day. Heck this might even make u a godparent

As far as the question in the headline, I think that's a great idea! But you should probably speak with the person throwing the shower to make sure it's alright. If they already have a cake planned, they may not like the idea, or they may not mind at all. And if they didn't have a cake yet, that's one less thing on their checklist. =) I would think it would also help to know how many people would be attending so you know how big to make it.
As far as the question regarding the cake itself, it sounds wonderful! I like simple designs, so I wouldn't put anything else on it myself.

That sounds like a good idea. I got a "baby" cake for my shower. It wasnt something to eat though. It was made out of diapers and bottles and washcloths and all sorts of stuff. They tied it all together with ribbon and piled it up to make it look like a 3 tiered cake and then wrapped some decorated cellophane around it. It was really nice. Everything I could have wanted was in there. Diaper rash ointment, toothbrushes, etc etc etc.

If you do the stawberry icing, why not keep it simple with just some strawberries cut in half and laid on their side around the top of the cake and then just write " It's a girl" in the middle. Also you could add red and white dots on the side of the cake, kinda like polka dots.

I think that is awesome and I would be happy with that. For more ideas I know the "dollar" store in town here has some deco add ons that are cool memoirs. Like rocking horse or baby rattle. Have fun!

That sounds awesome. I'm always so jealous of people like you who can do things like that, I can barely buy a cake let alone bake one myself.
