Why this design works
Powder blue stars and crescent moons work for a shower whether or not the name has been chosen, which matters more than it sounds — plenty of showers happen before the announcement. The motifs are simple enough to hold at 2 inches, which is the size that actually matters here, because baby showers are dessert-table events rather than single-cake events.
What to put in the centre
The blank centre is the point of the design. These are three that work, and why:
- “Oh baby”
- Two words, reads at any size, works before the name is known.
- “Welcome Ava Rose”
- For a shower after the announcement, or a sip and see.
- “Twinkle twinkle”
- Picks up the star motif directly — the design and the words doing one job.
Sizes for this occasion
Baby showers tend to be dessert-table events rather than single-cake events. Design the 2 inch disc first and scale up to the cake topper — a design that survives being shrunk to 2 inches will always work large, but the reverse is not true.
| What it is for | Size |
|---|---|
| Topper for a 6" cake | 3.5–4 inches |
| Topper for an 8" cake | 5–5.5 inches |
| Cupcake discs | 2 inches |
| Favour box tags | 1.5 inches |
The baby shower cake toppers guide covers the palettes, wording and materials for this occasion in full.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size should this baby showers topper be?
Topper for a 6" cake takes 3.5–4 inches, and topper for an 8" cake takes 5–5.5 inches. Baby showers tend to be dessert-table events rather than single-cake events. Design the 2 inch disc first and scale up to the cake topper — a design that survives being shrunk to 2 inches will always work large, but the reverse is not true.
What can I personalise?
Change the name, message, lettering colour, size and shape in the editor. The illustration itself has a fixed palette. Personalising is free and needs no account; the watermark-free 300 DPI download is included with a CakeyTops membership, which starts with a 3-day free trial.
What do I print it on?
Cardstock at 250–300gsm for a paper topper on a stick, or an edible icing sheet if it will sit directly on buttercream and be eaten. Edible printing needs a printer dedicated to edible ink — you cannot use one that has had regular ink through it. Print at 100% or "actual size", never "fit to page", which silently shrinks the topper.
Anything to watch when printing this design?
Design the 2 inch cupcake disc first and scale up to the cake topper. A design that survives being shrunk will always work large; the reverse is not true.
