What to Write on a Bridal Shower Cake to Wow the Bride-to-Be

The bridal shower is a time-honored tradition to signify the beginning of a new chapter. From the venue and the guest list to decorations, food and game ideas, much care, love and consideration goes into planning this special day. But the sweetest item on your to-do list might be choosing a baker to whip up a beautiful (and yummy) dessert. Though you might find it easy to pick flavors, toppings and designs, you might struggle with what to write on a bridal shower cake to wow your bride-to-be.

After all, a bridal shower cake is a chance to make a statement about the collective sentiment endorsing her lifelong union with her mate, says Sarah Chianese, the owner and executive chef at Mangia and Enjoy!—and the written words on top should also reflect her. "The written cake topper can be humorous or more classic and must be thoughtful and memorable," she says. "The decoration can also reflect and enhance the writing, so get creative with the baker and devise a visual theme."

Not sure what to put on a bridal shower cake? No worries! Here, we've rounded up the best bridal shower cake sentiments—for the sweet to the simple, no-fuss bride—that will make her feel seen and loved. Chianese and bridal expert, Lilia Shatnaya, the owner and designer of Plume and Stone Invitation Studio, recommend these wedding shower cake quotes.
