I am making the cake for my sister's baby shower next weekend. There will be about thirty people (25 RSVP's already) from her boyfriend's family there and I am not sure how many from our family since there was a death in our family this morning. I am making two sets of booties from cup cakes (4 booties total) one pair pink and one pair blue since she doesn't know the sex of the baby. My question is how big of a cake do I need to be sure that there is enough. There could likely be 50 or more people there, but then again, I am not sure. Do I make two 1/4 sheet cakes, one pink, one blue? Or should I go with two 1/2 sheets (single layers)? Or, maybe two 10" rounds (2 layers)? Or just one single 1/2 sheet half blue half pink?

My daughter and I made a cake for a baby shower last month for about 50 people and we did a 3 tier cake (14, 10 & icon_cool.gif. You could see it in my photos, its the first one. At first we thought it was too much cake for 50 people but later, we were glad we made it that big because the people there liked it so much that many had second servings and couple of them even had thirds.

I would go with a stacked cake like mmo88, also I think I would do a pink, blue, green and yellow coloring on the cakes that way it is all baby colors.
