      I'm usually not all that into baby shower cakes. I guess in a way so many of them sort of irritate me with the choices people are doing. One idea I don't like what is to be the full blown belly of mama sticking up right in the middle of the cake and I guess its because I REALLY don't care to see an expectant mother wearing clothing tight and some so tight you can see the complete shape of her bellybutton and being that she's quite far along, isn't necessarily an attractive thing to see. I've seen cute ideas but in the last 5 years I've see a LOT of pretty BAD ideas for baby showers. It seems the trend is going more rude and crude all the time. However, I was SERIOUSLY impressed with the selection of cakes chosen here. They're tasteful, attractive, imaginative, unique and basically have lots and lots of "rights" and not any "wrongs" that I see anywhere. I'd be proud to serve each and every one of these cakes at a shower I was having for someone I cared about. Each and everyone of these decorators need to keep up their excellent work they're doing and set that example for other cake decorators who seem to be going down some very odd and weird paths lately.
