Making your baby shower a success often depends on the kinds of food that you decide to serve, the theme you choose, as well as the decorations you put up. Baby shower food can be pretty predictable so it is important to think of ideas for how to hype up your choices in order to make your baby shower memorable.
Here are some baby shower food along with tips to make them more presentable:
Candy diapers
Your guests might really love ‘diapers’ filled with little wrapped candies. This baby shower food is created by folding the corners of pink and blue napkins so they look like little diapers, and putting the candies inside.
Fresh fruit and vegetable carvings
You may like to serve fruit or fresh baby vegetables as your baby shower food, and a nice way to hype up the presentation is to serve as skewers. Take ready-made fruit salad and present the skewers on a decorated platter, with some sweet dips such as melted chocolate. Likewise carrots, celery, broccoli and cauliflower can be chopped and skewered, then served with some tasty dips such as hummus, ranch dressing, guacamole or salsa. Serve alongside crackers with a cheeseboard decorated with grapes.
If you want to hype up your baby shower food fruit presentation carve out melons to look like baby strollers, serve the skewers or loose fruit inside.
