How Can I Make My Own Baby Shower Cake?

So yesterday I was with my family and they were briefly talking about my upcoming baby shower. My sister and sister-in-law are throwing it for me.
My sister is 21 and my SIL is 23. They tell me that they could/would never ask me to make my own cake for my own shower.
I told them, I actually wanted to do it, and they said, "NO! We couldn't let you do that. We will either buy you a cake (from the grocery store) or we'll make one for you on our own." Then my Dad said, "yeah, just come and enjoy the shower, you can't make your own cake."
So even though I tried to tell them that I WANTED to make my own cake, they totally didn't get it. In my mind, I make a custom cake for all of their birthday, showers, etc. I too would like a custom cake for once. I think I am officially a "cake snob" because I would rather make my own cake then for them to make it and definitely before they buy one.
Any ideas on how I can politely tell them that I really want to do this? My sister and SIL are so sweet and they really think they are doing me a favor on this one. I don't want to hurt their feelings.
I would just explain that you really would like to make it,you have one that you really like, and tell them the truth about not wanting a grocery store cake - YUCK! I actually made my own wedding shower cake and baby shower cake. I told everyone I didn't mind and they listened after going back and forth, it all worked out! Good Luck! And Congratulations
I would speak to each of them seperately and tell them that while you appreciate what they are trying to do, that it is very important to you that you have an opportunity to create a masterpiece to welcome your daughter. I'm sure that once they see how important it is to you, it won't be a problem.
First of all talk to them again and express how touched you are that they want to throw this baby shower for you - that you feel extremly blessed to have them wanting to do it but tell them that you would love to make your baby's first cake so you are going to make the cake!! Then smile real big!!!
