I've been asked to do a baby shower cake for a co-worker in 2 days. They requested a round cake with yellow and green icing...that's it!!! What kind of direction is that??!! Help me please...I can't come up with anything. BTW, she's having a boy, but they asked that the cake only be done in green and yellow....
Thanks in Advance!
with something that vague, I would go with a pale sage green cake, and make pale yellow sripes on the sides. Maybe make some pale yellow fondant balls to put around the base of the cake. Then, on the top I would probably put something generic like a pair of baby booties from gumpaste, or even easier cut out a bib from fondant and drape on the top and sort of hanging off the cake. Go buy you some plastic baby pins from hobby lobby or Michaels in their Wilton section and place some sporadically on the top and base of the cake.
Simple, looks baby-ish and goes along with their colors!!
It would be helpful of course if they would say if they wanted bright colors or pastel colors, and even better if they could give you a coy of the invitation to go by!!! You could also find out what the mommy's name is and search the Babies R Us website for a registry to see what her nursery stuff looks like (perhaps it's green and yellow).
Good luck!!

Recently I made a baby shower cake in tones of blue and did the basketweave design. You could use the green and yellow for the basketweave on the sides then decorate the top with green or yellow booties, baby blanket, etc.....it would be adorable. For me, there is just something about basketweave and babies that goes together. 
Do they have a nursery theme? The last baby shower I did I had the same instructions but they did tell me baby farm animals was the nursery theme. So I made a cake in those colors with baby farm animals on it. They loved it.
You could ice in green with a piped yellow carriage or ice in yellow with a piped green carriage . . .

Maybe something 'patchwork' like a quilt? or pale green with a yellow cutout of a hobby horse (or visa versa on the colors). Did they say you could use white as a base? Could also do blocks with alternating shades of green and/or yellow. Alphabet - a pales yellow duck (I LOVE DUCKS on baby cakes) on a pale green cake. I could go on. I just love baby cakes
Have you seen the baby face party supplies, where baby is crying? It makes a real cute cake.
