I simply adore Baby Showers – a gathering of girls celebrating the imminent arrival of a newborn baby, ensures these events are filled with love, laughter, excitement and lots of energy. It’s the perfect opportunity for the Mum-to-Be to gather her nearest and dearest, for a final hurrah before Baby arrives in her world and changes it for the better – forever.

Recently I was invited to a Baby Shower for a close relative. I wanted to find the perfect Baby Shower present that was beautiful, unique and practical – just like the Mum-to-Be. I discussed various possibilities with a good friend of mine and without hesitation she recommended Butterfly Baby Cakes. She told me the cakes are filled with newborn essentials, such as nappies, wraps, baby body suits, singlets, bibs, cotton socks, face washers and toys.

It sounded great, so I did my research and found that Butterfly Baby Cakes are handmade in Brisbane, use newborn essentials as ‘ingredients’ and are presented on a silver cake platter wrapped in cellophane and decorated with beautiful satin ribbon. Delightfully tasty for a Mum-to-Be I thought!

When selecting a Butterfly Baby Cake, there is just so much choice, from the magnificent mini, single-tiered cakes, double-tiered cakes and even triple-tiered cakes. The cake can have a Boy, Girl or Neutral theme. If that’s not enough, there are special themed nappy cakes, such as, ‘Bright Baby’ and ‘Bathtime Baby’. Well now – I was spoilt for choice. After much careful deliberation, I chose the Double-Tiered Girl Baby Cake.

The Baby Cake was delivered a week before the event to my house. Butterfly Baby Cakes can organise delivery to homes, hospital rooms and offices, in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. I thought they would make a great gift for an office morning tea for someone taking maternity leave. I wanted to give the present to the Mum-to-Be in person, at the Baby Shower, because I wanted to see her reaction.

I took the Butterfly Baby Cake with me to the Baby Shower. The event was lovely, after some delicious high tea, some fun Baby Shower Games (including a Baby Trivia Quiz which I surprisingly won) – it was time to open the presents. My present was the last one to be opened and when it was revealed, there was a collective gasp of delight, “It’s so original” exclaimed the Mum-to-Be. I was so pleased she liked it and the Baby Cake made it’s way around the circle and everyone peered through the cellophane to take a peek.
