Play with your food: baby shower food ideas
A baby shower—the sweetest reason ever for a party. Shower the parents-to-be with some aww-inspiring treats that are surprisingly easy to create. Marshmallow rattles are quick, baby-size sweets. Little strawberry tarts shaped like diapers are sure to get a giggle from your guests, especially when paired with pastel-hued fruit smoothies served in mini milk bottles. Fluffy cloud cookies made from prepared dough and icing look professionally made in minutes—package them up and send them off with guests as a sweet reminder of the day (raindrop treat tags included). For a savory addition to the table, make this alphabet block cheese spread with spicy blackberry sauce.
