Baby showers always should include cake.
The type of food you serve at a baby shower depends on the time of day of the event and whether it has a theme. An early afternoon shower may call for only a few light snacks, while an early evening shower may have for a few light appetizers or a small meal and a dessert. If you have a small food budget, you may want to avoid a dinner time baby shower. Does this Spark an idea?
Finger Foods
Baby showers can be busy. There is mingling with guests, games, food and present opening all squeezed into a few short hours. For this reason, offering finger foods is a great way to feed your guests without setting aside time for a full lunch or dinner. Tea sandwiches, crackers, nuts and fruits, are all good choices.
Fondue
Whether your choice is cheese or chocolate, fondue in a great way to serve a meal, snack or dessert with minimum effort. Furthermore, people like to be able to choose the bread or fruit that they want to dip.
Cake
Every baby shower needs a cake. Whether you choose single-layer or multi-tier, be sure to pay homage to the day in some way. You can theme the cake after the shower theme, buy or make a baby theme cake or welcome the soon-to-arrive bundle of joy in big letters on the cake.
Baby Things
"Baby" and "little" are the theme of the day, so serve these kinds of food, such as mini smoked sausages, baby carrots and baby spinach salads. These items are easy to prepare, with little or no cooking required, and most are not messy. This means easier cleanup for you after the party.
