This garden-themed first birthday party is breathtakingly beautiful and the cake perfectly matches the rest of the décor.

No little man-themed baby shower is complete without a mustache and a bow tie. A beautiful three-tiered cake features both, along with bright colors and bold patterns. Vibrant blue and lime green chevrons make wonderful decorations on a  fondant cake.

4. Elegant Baby Shower

A baby shower using soft blue and white damask is one of the loveliest ideas. Blue and white ribbon frosted cake and cupcakes are especially charming against the pale wood of the dessert table. Ribbon frosting always looks gorgeous on a cake because it adds a whole new level of texture. You can easily change the color to suit your party’s theme.

5. Proud Peacock Baby Shower
