Baby Shower Menu Ideas

There’s little more exciting than knowing a little one will soon arrive. The Baby Shower serves as an additional celebration of the birth and offers friends and family a chance to celebrate this joyful occasion. Chances are one of the first things on your menu will be the traditional Baby Shower cake and what would be better than to make it yourself. The sky really is the limit on Baby Shower Cakes.

One of the first things to decide when making your cake is a color scheme or theme. If you are following a certain theme at your shower, you may wish to incorporate this into your cake design. If you choose to stay traditional, there is, of course, pink for girls and blue for boys but why not kick it up a notch! For girls, try a bold fuschia, lavender, or mixture of pastels.

For boys, why not try the bold primary colors of blue, red and green. You may choose specific themes. A popular idea for a girl’s cake could be florals and lace or princesses. For boys, dinosaurs or trucks. There is, of course, the option of a gender neutral celebration if the sex of the baby is unknown. Why not incorporate both pink and blue with a neutral cream or yellow for this celebration.

As for the cake design itself, Baby Shower Cake recipes abound. Instead of the traditional white or chocolate, why not mix the two or serve a rich red velvet or carrot cake. One particular cake topper you may choose to utilize, if any, are baby blocks spelling out your child’s name. If you don’t have a name you could simply spell out a message such as ‘welcome baby’. Other items could be used as well from bottles to pacifiers.

Just remember to have fun and everything will come together!

A great tip is to stroll the aisles of your local craft store. They have the cutest ideas, cake decorations and scrapbooking supplies…your bound to get some great ideas!

does anyone have any ideas for a menu for a Tea Party Baby Shower?

we are playing a shower game called tea-potty, which is kind of a twist on th ediaper candy bar game…but that one always grosses me out. I have a lot of activities and drinks but i am lacking in the menu department, any ideas would be welcomed.

I actually have details on this type of shower on my Baby Shower Guide off my website!! Check out the recipes section, too…as some of those recipes would work well for this type of shower!!
