Bachelorette cakes

Baking for a bachelorette party is a fun challenge, depending on how risque you want to get. I've seen cute booty sugar cookies, martini glass cakes and fun sloppy drunk Barbie Doll cakes. I've also seen a very graphic phallic cake that was both hilarious and embarrassing.

How do you choose between cute or dirty? Where is the line on how graphic your cake should be?

It depends mostly on the bride's personality and who her guests are at the party. The very detailed phallic cake was at a party for a friend of mine who gets embarrassed quite easily. On one hand it was hilarious for all of us to watch her turn red when she saw it. On the other hand, it might have been too much for her. Either way, we got some great pictures and memories with that cake.

The level of dirtiness also depends on who's attending the party. Is the bride's grandma or old-fashioned aunt going to be there? Is there anyone whom your cake is going to offend? Think about that, and if you really want an X-rated cake, bust it out after Grandma has turned in for the night. (But if Grandma plans on partying with you all night, she's probably the type that will get a kick out of a pornographic cake.)

I went to a bachelorette party this past weekend for my college roommate and partner in crime, Kelly. Of course, I wanted to make her a cake. For this bride, her family, and our friends, there was no question whether or not to make a dirty cake.

But there's another element that plays into what kind of cake to make: who the baker is.

I knew I had to make a dirty cake, but I really wanted to do something cute. Something colorful and frilly and girly. Once I started looking on Pinterest, the urge to bake something girly was harder to resist.

Easy fix, I made two cakes. Basically one for the bride and one for me. (Don't worry, she got to eat them both!) The one I really wanted to make was of a sexy pink and black corset. Using Kelly's wedding colors, purple and charcoal, this is what I came up with:

Cupcake Corset Cake

I made this, and the naughty cake, out of cupcakes, so they're both Cupcake Cakes. I was extremely happy with this finished corset. Although it's not as perfected or professional as I would like it to look, it was my first time trying it. I'd really like to try this again in the future when I have more decorating products to work with.

The bride-to-be seemed pleased with both of them. She called the corset cake "boobs." I guess they were both dirty cakes!
