We're all about seeking out new trends when it comes to hosting a stylish baby shower, and over the past few years, cake pops and cupcakes have ruled the scene.

If the mom-to-be who you're honoring is more of a traditionalist than a trend follower, then serve her up a sweet slice of one of these 15 beautiful baby cakes!

Jesi, along with super florist JL Designs, baker extraordinaire Sweet and Saucy, and the paper princesses at Posh Paperie, created a bold, beautiful party, celebrating the relaunch of awesome party website Hostess With the Mostess, where gender reveal was just one more exciting element.

Baby bytes, anyone? Leila Lewis of Inspired By This definitely thought outside of the box when it came time to plan a shower for her good friend Carissa Jones of floral and event styling company JL Designs.

From that jumping off point, Leila, along with industry friends at Jesi Haack Design, Wedding Chicks, and Cherish Paperie, created one of the most inventive baby showers we've ever seen.
With sweet and savory snacks like robot cake pops and "micro chips" as well as awesome backdrops and beautiful blooms, courtesy of the mom-to-be, this shower somehow makes old-school robots look modern, cute, and totally baby shower friendly. Keep clicking to see all the mega details.

Shopping for a baby shower gift can be more difficult than you might think. If you're not in a position to buy those big-ticket bedding sets, monitors, or furniture items, you're usually left with a ton of inexpensive items that really don't feel gift-worthy on their own. While creating your own gift set with a variety of little items like onesies, toys, blankets, and books is a good idea, we have an even better one: pick up a premade gift basket made by a totally on-trend kid company like The Land of Nod or DwellStudio. We found seven gift baskets that will ensure your present is the hit of the baby shower! Keep clicking for the one that works best for the mom-to-be.

Summer Watkins, the stylish mind behind Grey Likes Weddings and Grey Likes Baby, is inundated with some of the most beautiful events out there, so when it came time to throw a baby shower of her own, celebrating her sister Brittany, it had to be a showstopper.
Summer partnered with tableware company Casa de Perrin to craft an old-world, romantic concept, full of tulle and sequin table linens, antique Persian rugs, and gorgeous blooms. "We wanted it to be a glamorous baby shower, which you don't see too often," Summer says. "The sequin linens from La Tavola are just way too good, aren't they?" A sweet and savory biscuit bar and a gorgeous cake made by the grandma-to-be were just two more must-see elements at this baby shower, beautifully photographed by Summer's other sister, Hayley of T&H Photography.
