Baby shower cake toppers

Edible baby shower cake toppers

Our edible baby shower cake toppers are printed on premium food-safe icing sheets in a range of baby shower designs — including classic "It's a Boy" and "It's a Girl" styles as well as gender-neutral options. These peel-and-place icing toppers sit directly onto buttercream or fondant and are completely edible. Available in standard cupcake sizes and full cake sizes. Browse the complete range in our edible cake toppers collection.

Baby shower cupcake toppers

For a matching cupcake set, we stock pre-made baby shower cupcake toppers in edible icing sheet format as well as icing decoration sets — including sugar roses, edible pearls, and shaped icing pieces that work for both baby shower and newborn celebration cakes. The Sprinks Mini Roses Icing Decorations (24 pieces) are a popular choice for baby shower cupcakes, with their delicate ombre pink sugar roses adding an elegant touch with no additional decorating required. Browse all edible toppers for the full selection.

Baby shower sprinkles and edible pearls

Pastel sprinkles and pearl decorations are quick, effective finishing touches for baby shower cakes and cupcakes. We stock a wide range of options across our sprinkles range:

• Pastel mixed sprinkles — soft pinks, blues, yellows, and whites for gender-neutral or themed cupcake sets
• White sugar pearls — the Sprink'd 8mm Sugar Balls in Pearl White are a classic choice for elegant baby shower cupcakes and cake borders
• Iridescent sequins — add a subtle shimmer to pastel-coloured cakes without overwhelming the delicate palette
• Star and heart shapes — for a simple, sweet finishing scatter on buttercream cupcakes

Food colouring for baby shower cakes

Baby shower cakes typically call for soft, muted pastels rather than saturated colours. The key is using a small amount of a high-quality gel or oil-based colouring — a little goes a long way with pastel shades. We stock the full range of baby shower colours in both Colour Mill oil-based (for chocolate and oil-based buttercream) and Chefmaster Liqua-Gel (for fondant, royal icing, and water-based buttercream):

• Baby Blue — Colour Mill Oil Based, Colour Mill Aqua Blend, Chefmaster Liqua-Gel Baby Blue
• Baby Pink / Blush — Colour Mill Oil Based, Colour Mill Aqua Blend, Chefmaster Liqua-Gel Baby Pink
• Lemon Yellow — Colour Mill Oil Based, Chefmaster Liqua-Gel Lemon Yellow
• Mint Green — Colour Mill Oil Based, Colour Mill Aqua Blend
• Lilac / Soft Purple — Colour Mill Oil Based, Chefmaster Liqua-Gel Violet (use sparingly for pastel)

For the complete food colouring range, visit our food colouring collection. For pastel shades in any colour, start with a white or off-white base and add colouring one drop at a time.

Baby shower baking cups

Matching baking cups pull a baby shower cupcake set together quickly. We stock foil and paper baking cups in the standard baby shower palette — soft pinks, blues, whites, and pastels — available in standard and mini sizes. The right baking cup also helps the cupcake keep its shape during transport, which matters when you're delivering to a baby shower venue. Browse the full baking cups range for all available colours and sizes.

Fondant and modelling supplies for baby shower cakes

For hand-made fondant decorations — baby booties, teddy bears, onesies, or simple initial plaques — you'll need a quality white fondant as your base and pastel-matched colours for detailing. We stock Bakels Pettinice white fondant in 750g blocks (easy to colour yourself with a small amount of gel or oil-based food colouring) as well as pre-coloured fondant in the main baby shower shades. Browse our icing and fondant range for all available options.

FAQs about baby shower cake decorations

What baby shower cake toppers does Baking Pleasures stock?

We stock edible icing image toppers in a range of baby shower designs (printed on food-safe icing sheets, peel-and-place, completely edible), icing decoration sets including sugar roses and shaped pieces for cupcakes, and non-edible decorative toppers for the main cake. For a fully personalised topper with the baby's name, due date, or a custom design, our custom edible images service prints any uploaded design on a food-safe icing sheet in cupcake or full cake sizes.

What colours work best for a baby shower cake?

The most common baby shower palettes are baby blue and white (boy), blush pink and white (girl), and soft yellow, mint, or lilac and white (gender-neutral). For pastel shades, use Colour Mill oil-based or Chefmaster Liqua-Gel colouring and start with just a small amount — pastels are all about restraint. A pearl or champagne lustre dust over a pale base gives a delicate shimmer that works well for baby shower cakes without looking too bold.

What sprinkles are best for a baby shower cake?

Pearl white sugar balls, pastel mixed sprinkle blends, and iridescent sequins are the most popular choices for baby shower cakes. They're subtle enough not to overpower the pale palette while still adding texture and interest. The Sprink'd 8mm White Sugar Pearl Balls are a particularly clean option for a minimal, elegant finish around the base of a tiered cake or on individual cupcakes. Browse the full range in our sprinkles collection.

Can I get a custom edible topper for a baby shower?

Yes — our custom edible images service lets you upload any design and have it printed as a food-safe icing sheet topper. This is the best option for a personalised baby shower cake with the parents' names, the due date, or a custom illustration. Custom edible images are available in standard cupcake sizes and full cake sizes, and orders are printed and dispatched quickly so you can plan ahead without stress.
