Here’s a roundup of the 10 best and worst baby shower cakes out there right now…

…I actually think the baby butt one is pretty funny…it’s something a few of my friends would do.

Kim commented on Jun 21 11 at 12:15 pm

@Kim I know it may just be me, but the baby bum (espesh the feet) is too realistic!

arianne commented on Jun 21 11 at 12:41 pm

@Arianne Yeah, I didn’t pay as much attention to the feet at first. It’s a little weird because it’s sort of a cross between realistic and cartoon-y. I think if it was super cartoon-y, it’s funny. But I can also totally understand not wanting to eat a babies butt:).

Main reason why I went to school to be a pasrty and baking chef is to make beautiful cakes! Baby shower and birthday cakes are my fav!

Violeta Gill commented on Jun 21 11 at 1:38 pm

@Emily – OH EM GEE. I had to click away before he cut so I don’t know if he did but EEEEP! ::shudder:: I think I’m a little traumatized… LOL!

arianne commented on Jun 21 11 at 3:49 pm

@Emily – OMG! I had to click out of that too before he cut into it. I can’t believe someone thought that was a good idea for a cake.

Michele commented on Jun 21 11 at 11:51 pm

I wouldnt wanna eat the baby and the sleeping teddy cake, weird! Olivias cake is toooo much naybe put a blankir over her? lol eww!!

Michelle Megibben commented on Jun 22 11 at 2:22 am

beautifully done.. but I dont think I could cut a body part off of a baby.. let alone eat it. Jeffrey Dahmer anyone?? yuck..

Casey commented on Jun 22 11 at 4:57 pm

I think they all are great except for the Oliva Push cake and the teen pregnancy. The sleeping baby is so cute and the feet on the baby bottom one is so realistic. Wow!

Angela commented on Jun 23 11 at 12:11 pm

The cake for Olivia is DISGUSTING!! Why would anyone make a cake like that???? WOW!!!!

Nicole Becker commented on Jul 14 11 at 5:51 pm

If these are shocking, you should check out the Cake Wrecks blog. There are plenty of horrible baby shower cakes there.

TJ commented on Jul 14 11 at 10:01 pm

Why is that the best cake?

Sue commented on Jul 14 11 at 11:37 pm

I think the one of the baby butt & feet are really cute! Lol I think I would so have to get that one! But the one “Push Olivia push” Thats just not right! Whom ever would get that sort of a cake for a baby shower or that sort of cake at all is just Nasty!

Cassandra commented on Jul 15 11 at 12:33 am

Wow those are some nice cakes….. Well not all of them but I don’t want to say how hideous some are

Karen commented on Jul 16 11 at 12:04 am

I love the butterfly where did you finde them its cool i want it

Betty commented on Aug 04 11 at 11:38 am

I actually think the baby bottom is the best one, I absolutely love the belly one, I think the burger on should be on worst.

Shanny commented on Aug 04 11 at 11:48 am

Last one is super disturbing, but I absolutely love the baby bum one, and the prego belly is too cute! I think burger one should be on worst

Shanny commented on Aug 04 11 at 11:50 am

They are all pretty bad looking cakes to me, I would’nt buy any of them for my baby shower or anyone elses baby shower either….

Cherrie Marion commented on Aug 12 11 at 11:53 pm

ROTFLMAO…..I haven’t laughed that hard in years….the comments are just as d*amn funny as the cakes are…..

Cathy commented on Aug 15 11 at 10:50 pm

I think the person who wrote this article has no sense of humor. I love the “bad” cakes as well (except the teenage “joke” – not funny).

just me commented on Sep 15 11 at 1:00 pm

the bad cakes are funniest

lauren commented on Sep 27 11 at 10:41 am

Worst #1 GHETTO AS HELL!!!

Lisa commented on Oct 09 11 at 10:30 pm

I may be in the minority here, but “Congratulations on your teen pregnancy” and Oliva’s cake are my favorites. They both made me laugh out loud. I can’t deny that the Beatrix Potter one is very cool, but if it was a baby shower for my friends and not my family I would prefer a cake that made myself and my friends laugh, like Olivia’s cake, which is my favorite of all the cakes by far. Hopefully my guests would be able to appreciate it.

Jonah commented on Oct 19 11 at 3:06 am

I’d have to disagree with you on #2 for best cakes. The Giving Tree just makes me thing that the baby is going to grow up to be a greedy inconsiderate bitch.

The baby’s bottom cake and the number 1 worst is pretty lulzy though.

Maple commented on Oct 19 11 at 4:34 pm

i wouldn’t mind a belly button slice of cake.

Yum commented on Oct 25 11 at 3:47 am

Worst #1? More like Best #1!

Yum commented on Oct 25 11 at 3:51 am

i misss my 3 babys were pregnancy and good memory

A commented on Oct 30 11 at 9:13 am

Sorry y’all I gotta add to the minority here. I LOVE the Olivia cake. SO. FUNNY. If someone served that for me at a baby shower I would be laughing so hard — and when you’re that pregnant you need a great laugh!!!

LOL commented on Oct 31 11 at 6:51 am

i had a babys bottom for my shower but it was unique and the cutest cake ive ever eaten……as for number one thats jus plain dumb! i would b embarrassed to show that at my shower

laylasmom commented on Nov 03 11 at 12:24 pm

Let’s try this again:

I wouldn’t want the Olivia cake at my shower, but only because I’d probably laugh so hard I’d pee myself. Which would be embarassing. Hooray for preggo bladder!
