There’s a baby on the way, and that means it’s time to break out your extra-adorable cake decorating skills. We’ll show you how to make 7 delicious, over-the-top desserts … and also give you lots of ideas for what to write on them!

1. To the Woods

We officially found something cuter than tiny baby shoes: tiny baby shoes made of fondant! Perfect for a future plaid-wearer, the key to these realistic work boots is to layer the sole three times. (And if these aren’t the baby-to-be’s style, we’ve also got how-to’s for flip flops, Mary Jane’s, sneakers and more.)

2. All Dressed Up

We’ll let you in on a little secret: you don’t need to splurge on a special pan to make this onesie cake! Bake up a rectangular treat, and we’ll show you how to shape and cut it. (Tint the batter pink or blue to turn this cutie into a gender reveal cake!)
