If you are stuck on where to even begin, hither are a few tips to get the artistic juices flowing along and potential alternative desserts to consider.

Design

The cake should attempt and stick with the theme of the mean solar day. If you have decided to go for a mod theme, take your cake represent that by keeping the icing and overall design chic and make clean. Simplicity is key. If y'all don't necessarily have a potent theme, perhaps having a block in the shape of stacked presents would be an idea or simple frosted tiered cakes with a few flowers complimenting it. For tea-themed showers, society in a block in the shape of a teapot accompanied with teacups.

If you are going for a "nowadays" themed shower, take miniature presents side by side to the block.

Words

Unlike birthdays or holidays that tend to accept very articulate words written on cakes, bridal showers can have a range of sayings.

Be creative and come upwards with your own fashion of celebrating the day in written words. Sometimes though, less is more and cypher needs to be written at all.

Brand It Yourself

Alternatives

There are no hard and strict rules to say that the dessert has to be a cake. Times are changing and bridal showers aren't what they used to be. If you love donuts, have a colorful donut platter stylishly stacked for guests to hands grab and enjoy.

One of the well-nigh common alternatives is cupcakes every bit they are easy to brand and already divided into small portion sizes. Cookie lovers should use this solar day as an alibi to take a large display of their favorite cookies. This can be anything from sweet and artistic cookie designs to classy and chic.

Sweet colored macarons are condign more pop at showers and wedding forth with blistering a selection of pies in place of one cake. Choose in-flavour pies such as apple, sweet pecan and berry. Or have a dessert table that is a combination of everything and guests can choose for themselves what suits their taste buds. If sweets in general though don't sound highly-seasoned, don't worry. Consider having a fancy cheese stack instead, accompanied with tasty grapes and vino. Or what about going completely salty and having a brandish of pretzels, popcorn and chips to go on the guests happy. Whatever yous choose, make sure it is something that y'all enjoy and makes this shower uniquely you.
