1. Sweet Girl & Boy Twin Cake
This cake is a beautiful option for celebrating boy and girl twins. The design is split right down the middle — one side in soft pink with girly details, and the other in baby blue. It’s a perfect way to highlight both little ones in one adorable centerpiece.
The cake is covered in fondant for a clean finish, and features charming decorations that match each twin’s side. This design was originally created by Dolce Dita and is a great example of how to keep the theme cohesive but fun.
You can use this idea as a starting point and customize the colors or details based on your party decor. It’s simple, stylish, and always a crowd-pleaser.
2. Tea for Two Twin Cupcakes
These adorable “Tea for Two” cupcakes are a perfect choice for a cozy and creative twin baby shower. The idea is simple but charming — bake cupcakes and serve them in tea cups for an elegant touch that matches the theme.
You have two options: bake your cupcakes in regular liners and drop them into tea cups after they’re done, or bake them directly in oven-safe mugs. If you go with the second option, just make sure the mugs are labeled oven-safe. You might be able to find some at the dollar store, or order them online.
As a bonus, you can let guests take the mugs and saucers home as favors. It’s a sweet and thoughtful gift that fits perfectly with the tea party vibe.
For decorating, consider frosting the cupcakes to look like roses or using pastel shades that match your shower colors. The presentation alone will impress your guests.
3. Double Blessing Cake
I used two round cakes to make the little baby bottoms and placed them on top of a half sheet cake. The blankets, legs, feet, and toes were all shaped from fondant. I covered the base cake with buttercream and kept the design simple so the baby bottoms would really stand out.
This was such a fun cake to put together and got lots of laughs at the baby shower. If you’re planning a twin shower, this idea is a cute way to highlight both babies at once.

4. Twin Baby Shower Cupcakes
The extra-large cupcake was made from scratch using a red velvet cake recipe. I used a cream cheese and buttercream mix for the frosting and tinted it with food coloring. Just a heads-up, this frosting melts easily in warm weather so keep that in mind if you’re hosting the shower outdoors.
I made the baby face decorations using gum paste. I colored and shaped them by hand. The bonnet is made from lace and ribbon, tied around the top of each cupcake wrapper. These cupcakes were made with a lot of love and patience for a special baby shower, and they were definitely worth the effort.
5. Twin Girls Cake
This cake was a homemade, two-tier blue ribbon chocolate cake. For the base, I used a 9-inch double-layer round cake. The top tier is a 6-inch double-layer round cake stacked the same way. To support the structure, I used wooden dowels and covered them in homemade marshmallow fondant.
The crib on top was shaped out of rice crispy treats. I covered it first with buttercream, then finished it with fondant. All the details were done by hand using fondant I made at home.
This was one of my favorite cakes to make. The little twin babies sleeping in the crib gave it such a sweet touch. I included the cake, buttercream, and fondant recipes in my cookbook for anyone who wants to try it themselves.
6. Two Peas in a Pod Cake
This Two Peas in a Pod cake idea is absolutely precious and such a fun way to celebrate twins. It’s especially cute if you’re welcoming twin boys, but the theme works beautifully with any color combo you like.
Start with a two-tier cake for that classic, stacked look. The bottom layer can be decorated with a quilted pattern to give it a soft, cozy feel. A diamond-pattern tool makes this super easy. Cover the cake in fondant to keep things neat and smooth.
Now for the star of the show: two tiny babies nestled inside a little green pea pod. These toppers can be sculpted from fondant or modeling paste and placed right on top. This idea was actually inspired by twin-themed baby shower stationery, which makes it even more fitting for the occasion.
To finish it off, add a personalized name plaque to the front. You can create one using letter cutters and a basic plaque shape. It’s a simple detail that adds a sweet and polished touch.
As a bonus idea, instead of leaving your cake board plain, wrap it with scrapbook paper in matching colors and cover it with clear food-safe wrap. It ties the whole look together and really pops in photos.
7. Garden-Inspired “Two Peas” Cake That Pops with Personality
This playful garden-themed cake is such a creative spin on the “two peas in a pod” idea. It’s perfect for a twin baby shower, especially if you’re going for a fresh, outdoorsy or springtime vibe.
The bottom tier is a showstopper all on its own. It’s designed to look like a garden bed filled with vertical pea pods, each one lined up perfectly with bright green candies to mimic real peas. A white ribbon ties it all together like a little gift from the garden.
The middle layer is shaped like a flowerpot, complete with “soil” made from crushed cookies and a big green bow. It’s such a cute detail that adds texture and charm without being too complicated.
At the top, a tall fondant vine curls upward, holding a sweet little pod with two baby faces tucked inside. It’s whimsical, eye-catching, and just the right amount of over-the-top for a celebration like this.
If you want to recreate this look, focus on playful elements like candy, fondant vines, and simple color matching. You can keep it all green for a classic look or mix in pastels to match your party colors.
