my sister inlaw is having a house warming party and i want to bring a cake but i have no idea what cake to make for a house warming party can anybody help with any ideas thanks

It could be in the shape of a house or, it could be just about anything. Does she collect anything (like china cups and saucers, for example)? Does she have a hobby (like knitting or gardening or crossword puzzles)? Does she have a favorite flavor of cake?

Yrs ago in a Wilton yrbk there was a very pretty sq cake that is a flowered arch. The arch is done in lattice w/drop flowers & leaves all over it. This idea can be one on a sheet, sq, or oval

I've also done a front door w/steps (flat drawing); a door mat says welcome.

If you google 'house warming cake' images I bet you'lll find some more ideas.

You could do one with a cleaning/fix/moving box theme, since those are the things I remember most about moving into our new home!

What about a sold sign or a house with a sold sign? I thought of making sold sign cookies for my realtor when we bought our house...

Here are a couple cute ones I found:
