BBQ baby? Not my idea of a fun cake. Rather morbid.
Let's see if we can satisfy both ideas.
How about you make the grill cake but make shikabobs of baby booties or even baby blocks that spell out B A B Y.
Maybe do two cakes. One of the grill and the other with burgers on it and rattles. Or wait...what if the burgers on the grill spell out BABY in Ketchup or mustard colored icing?

icon_surprised.gif ...morbid?....It wasn't going to have flames on the grill and bbq the baby!!! icon_sad.gif

I think she was just trying to combine the two because she had a theme of Grillin for Colin!

hmmmm...I didn't think the idea was morbid either. Anyway, maybe you could incorporate a baby laying on one of those picnic tablecloths with the grill beside it. Okay, I'll keep thinking of better ideas icon_redface.gificon_lol.gif

How about "Congrats on your little Bun in the Oven" and make a hamburger....

sorry about the morbid remark if it upset you.
Guess I read the post too fast and my mind made an instant picture that hit me wrong.

Sometimes the brain goes in strange places icon_confused.gif

How about putting "grilling for colin" on the side of the grill and dress the baby in a chef's hat with a mini spatula in his hand?

What about making a design that looks like it was done with a branding iron, in the shape of a baby rattle or bootie. The cake could look like a big burger or steak with the 'brand' on it. Does that make sense? (I'm up past my bedtime again... lol)

All of these could be really cute cakes...love the idea of the baby 'brand' mark on a steak cake...lol...and the baby with the chef's hat and spatula...really cute! icon_lol.gif Since your sister likes the grill cake idea...maybe you could do 'baby' burgers and 'baby' hot dogs on the grill? Then have 'Grillin' for Colin' on the sides of the grill, as someone else suggested. This could turn out to be a really unique baby shower cake...please post pics of what you decide to do! Good luck! thumbs_up.gif
