How to Make Baby Block Shower Or Birthday Cake
- Bake or purchase one or more pound cakes. Allow to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice each pound cake in half horizontally to create rectangular blocks.
- Using a sharp knife or cake leveler, trim the blocks to create even, uniform sizes.
- Arrange the cake blocks to spell out "BABY" or your child's name on a serving platter or cake board.
- Prepare your favorite buttercream frosting. (Recipe suggestions for a classic buttercream are available online).
- Generously frost each cake block, ensuring all sides are covered and the letters are clearly defined.
- Decorate the cake with sprinkles, edible flowers, or other baby-themed decorations, if desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
