Everyone knows that when it comes to a baby shower, the cake will play a major role.

That's why it's important that even if you're making your own, you have a great recipe that will not only help your cake taste fabulous, but also offer a beautifully decorated dessert to match your occasion.

You can make any cake a cake for a baby shower when you decorate it, but the first thing you should do when you're looking for a recipe for your cake is decide what sort of flavors you want to have. For instance, if you're having a baby shower in the summer when it's warm out, you may want to consider baking a refreshing cake such as a blueberry citrus cake.

For this baby shower cake recipe, you will need:

• A package of two layer size lemon cake mix
• 1/2 cup each orange juice and water
• 1/3 of a cup of cooking oil
• One and a half cups of fresh blueberries
• 3 large eggs
• One tablespoon each of finely grated orange and lemon peel
• Citrus frosting
• Decorations for your cake

If you need a larger cake, consider doubling the ingredients of this baby shower cake recipe so you will have enough, and then choose your pan size that will work.

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare your cake pans by greasing the bottom dusting lightly with flour.
  
  
• Mix the packages of cake mix, water and orange juice, oil and eggs and beat with a blender until batter is smooth. Use a spatula to fold in the blueberries and orange and lemon peel, and then pour into the pans.
  
  
• Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick in the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool before frosting.

For your frosting, you will need:

• A package of soft cream cheese
• 1/4 cup of softened butter
• 3 cups of sifted powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons of orange juice
• One cup of whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons of finely shredded orange peel
• 1 tablespoon of finely shredded lemon peel

Beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and orange juice to the mix and beat until well blended. Beat the whipping cream until it forms peaks and add it to the cream cheese mixture. Add the rest of the ingredients and beat until they are well blended.

Once you've frosted your cake, feel free to add your decorations to match your occasion. You can be as creative or as simple and elegant as you would like.

If you would like to be a little more decorative, you may enjoy making a butterfly cake, another of the baby shower cake recipes which is simple and fun to make.

For this baby shower cake recipe, you will need:

• Cake mix for three cakes
• Heart shaped cake pans
• Round bottom muffin tin
• Icing and food coloring
• Decorations

How to make this baby shower cake recipe:

• Prepare the cakes according to the directions. You will need to make two heart shaped cakes and also make a batch of round bottom muffins.
  
  
• Make sure to let them cool very, very well before you begin constructing and frosting your cakes.
  
  
• Once all of the cakes are cool, lay them out on a foil lined piece of cardboard in the shape of a butterfly. You may need to level out the muffin shaped cakes so they lay flat. You should also put a small amount of icing on the foil so that your cake sits securely.
  
  
• Add food coloring to your cake icing, depending on your preference. You can decorate your cake like a real butterfly, or you can make any colors you like.
  
  
• Frost the "body" of the butterfly first, then arrange the "wings" of your cake and frost them.
