Having a baby is an exciting time for everyone involved, from the expectant parents to their family and friends. A major event which occurs on this path to parenthood is the baby shower, thrown by loved ones for the parents-to-be.
While there are numerous themes to choose from, one of the most unique I have ever seen is the Rocking Horse Baby Shower by Yolanda Cerra of Kiss With Style. As the name suggests, just viewing the arrangement brings nurseries and baby powder to mind.
Done in a light pink and soft yellow color scheme, the centerpiece instantly draws one's eye: a single-layer cake with pure white frosting smoothed over it, topped with a cute baby bear holding a blanket and bottle.
The cake blocks spelling out a customizable phrase and the trays of goodies are what next catch one's eyes. One tray holds cookies in the shape of rocking horses, buttons and bottles; one holds cake pops resembling rattles or with little feet and safety pins made of frosting; but the tray of cupcakes with yellow frosting and edible pink pacifiers on top is the most exquisite.
Flanking the cake are tiers of cupcakes on one side, topped with pink flowers and baby feet made out of candy, and lightly toasted meringues on the other. On the side is another holder containing macaroons and miniature donuts in pale pink and white, as well as chocolate bars in themed wrappers.
The white backdrop with paper pom poms against a baby pink tablecloth holding rocking horses, building blocks, bottles and jars full of white and pink candy on each corner only add to the overall effect. While in pale pink and white, this theme works for all pastel colors, and is a wonderful idea for any baby showers.
