Hello mamas! I am throwing a baby shower for my cousin and want to get a cute cake for the shower. I don't want to pay a lot of money, but I want something cute though. The theme is planes, trains, and cars. I would like something like that, but have no clue where to go. I've looked at walmart, but didn't really see anything. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :-)

What can I do next?

Call my friend Heather that has her own cake business....I know it sounds kind of cheesy....but, she's just as good if not better than the really expensive bakeries in town. I used to only buy my cakes from Dallas Affairs but now I only get my cakes from her. Her cakes as so moist and fantastic and she's unbelievably creative with her decoration. And, most of the time, she's so cheap that I'm emabarassed and I pay more. Just a couple of weeks ago, I ordered cupcakes for my daughters class and they were cheaper than Krogers!! Call Heater, you won't be disappointed. ###-###-####

Are you a member of Costco ? They have very good cakes. The whole sheet for only 15$ !!
They have a design for baby showers. You can choose your colors.

Sam's club also offer cakes. But I don't know if they taste as good.

You should check out this website- www.allthingssweettx.com The owner's name is Christy Ryder, and she's AMAZING!!! She makes the most delicious and adorable cakes- she's so talented. She's made at least 4-5 cakes for me, and they've always been the highlight of the party/shower. I'm sure she could do a really cute sheet cake and she wouldn't charge very much. Just tell her your budget, and I'm sure she'd work with you! Hope this helps! :) Good luck!

I don't make the cakes you eat but I do make really cute Diaper Cakes and I can put cars and planes on it. I would see if I could find a train for you. They are made with diapers,bottle, bibs, socks booties and pacifier and
more. I am a great grand mother just trying to make a little more dollars. I live in the Mckinney area and will deliver to the surrounding areas. These cakes make a beautiful cenerpiece for shower. Each one is one of a kind made with tender loving care.I wrap each one in netting with lots of ribbons and bows.
1 tier---$15.00
2 tier---$25.00
3 tier---$35.00
4 tier---$45.00
Hope to hear from you soon

I once got Wal-mart to make a cake for us with the borders done in the colors to match and they wrote on it for me, put grass, and a train track then I added my own train to match what I was doing. That might work for you if you have small toy train, planes or cars and then the mom could keep those for the baby when he is older???? Hope this helps!

Tart Pastry Boutique & Studio in Snyder Plaza is WONDERFUL! It sounds super expensive, but they're not, and the cakes are so good! They could match your invitations or themes perfectly. The website is: http://www.tartbakerydallas.com/

For my shower we just got a non-descript cake from the grocery store and bought little toys that matched the theme to decorate the cake. With your theme being planes, trains, and cars there are a lot of options when it comes to toys that you could purchase.

I love the Lovin Oven in Lancaster. It is on the historic town square and they can do anything. I can either take a decoration or I can tell them what the theme and colors are and they make great cakes. Here is their website w/contact info:

I have been sold since my friend got my baby shower cake from there. In fact in two weeks I am getting a cake for a friends shower from there and I use them for my kids birthdays.

I would try albertsons. I got my wedding cake there for pretty cheap. I chose the different designs from many of the different premade cake designs to get the one just for me. They have a wide selection and you can always be creative and tell them your theme and colors and they can come up with it.
hope it helps
