\"27<\/p>\n

Is it a\u00a0baby shower organiser’s\u00a0job to impress the mother-to-be or horrify\u00a0her? Perhaps a good healthy dose\u00a0of both?<\/p>\n

Regardless of your approach to the event itself (nutella poo nappy game anyone?), the very least you can do is treat it like any other special occasion and that means concentrating on the food.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re after baby shower food that is practical and sensible, fun and funny or downright gross and gruesome,\u00a0this long list right here will\u00a0give you a starting point to dazzle guests.<\/p>\n

Sweet Treats<\/h2>\n

When can you enjoy a treat if it’s not at a baby shower? It’s not only the perfect event for a high tea, but Mum-to-be will appreciate any excuse to indulge her sweet tooth.<\/p>\n

Some of these treats are all about the flavour and some offer a special twist of baby-related fun.<\/p>\n

Savoury\u00a0Delights<\/h2>\n

When organising\u00a0baby shower food, particularly if it’s a morning or afternoon affair, it’s often tempting to go hard on the sweets. It’s important you don’t forget the savoury toothed people at the party (not to mention Mum-to-be’s random cravings).<\/p>\n

Those avocado puff pastries and hot ham and cheese\u00a0biscuits will be gone in an instant while everyone will be eager for a second cup of dip. Yummo!<\/p>\n

Fun Cakes<\/h2>\n

Speaking of cakes, these baby shower cake ideas below are super fun without\u00a0forcing you to lose your appetite.<\/p>\n

If they’re too tricky to make yourself, be sure to seek the contribution of a best friend or sister of the mother to be. Alternatively, get everyone to pitch in to purchase a professional creation.<\/p>\n

While on the topic of pitching in, here are some awesome baby shower gift ideas <\/a>you can also arrange a collection for.<\/p>\n
