Bridal Shower Cakes - Choices!

Consider her hobbies, is she a keen cook? If so then a kitchen theme might be perfect and a cake decorated with kitchen equipment or shaped like a kitchen item may be perfect. Is the happy couple getting married on the beach? A beach themed shower and a cake decorated with chocolate seashells or miniature coral could be an ideal choice. Budget is also an important factor! Perhaps you could buy a plain iced cake from your local store and decorate yourself? If you are able to, why not bake the cake yourself or call on the skills of another bridal shower guest to help you? A homemade bridal shower cake is a perfect present, not only will the bride to be treasure the time and thought you have taken but it is also guaranteed to be unique.

Bridal Shower Cake - Recommendations
The recommended length of a Bridal shower is two hours. Fitting in a sit down meal, games and gift opening as well as some conversation into a two hour party can be a bit of a squeeze. Buffets are ideal for Bridal showers as guests can mingle and you can provide food to cater for a wider range of tastes. Why not have a BBQ if the weather permits and have an outdoor Bridal shower? It is important to make sure you have enough plates and cutlery for all your guests and that there is a choice of food for vegetarians as well as meat eaters. A good idea for a Bridal shower buffet is to label each of the dishes and indicate whether it is suitable for vegetarians or those with nut allergies, this tip will save you time answering lots of food related questions! The weather is another important consideration! If the Bridal shower is going to be held during the summer then think about the length of time the food will be available for guests. Leaving food uncovered for too long could cause health issues, the last thing you want you Bridal shower to be remembered for is food poisoning!
