BABY BLOCK SHOWER OR BIRTHDAY CAKE
This idea for a cake is so sweet! This would be perfect for a baby shower or even your little ones first birthday party!! You use frozen, store-bought or homemade pound cakes cut in half to make "blocks" and then frost with "b-a-b-y" or the baby/child's name that the party is celebrating!! NOTE: the quantity of cakes and frosting depends on how many blocks you need to spell out the name.

Steps:
- Make or buy a minimum of 2 pound cakes (quantity depends on how big of a name you are spelling).
- Slice in half width-wise and shave sides and top accordingly to make a cube.
- Color appropriate amount of white frosting with food coloring to make pink, blue or whatever colors "blocks" you want.
- Frost all sides but the bottom of the blocks with the colored frosting.
- Using a frosting gun or a ziploc (with tip cut) filled with remaining white frosting - write the first letter on all sides, including the top of the block.
- Repeat with the additional "blocks" by finishing out the name you are using.
- Arrange blocks to spell out the name on a beautiful platter and getting ready for the compliments!
- NOTE: You could also bake 2 13x9 cakes and cut into cubes and make the "blocks" 2-layers stacked.
- You could get even fancier and pipe the contrasting color of frosting onto the edges/trim of the blocks to define them more.
- Or you could decorate the blocks with the white frosting and spell the baby's name out with the color-tinted frosting.
- The possibilities are endless!

- Shake all the excess.
- Beat eggs and sugar until very fluffy.
- Fold in carefully flour and baking powder.
- Add hot water and mix until just combined (don´t overmix, or the cake will be hard and too dense).

- Take out of the form carefully while still hot, and leave under a towel until cold.
