Baby Showers

Over the past 2 years, we've catered for plenty of baby showers, in fact our first ever event was our official business launch at my baby shower back in September 2009.

Having just provided lots of cupcakes for yet another baby shower this past Sunday, I thought I'd share some photos from baby showers we've baked for.

These first photos are from Sunday's baby shower.  The gender of the baby isn't known yet, so the theme was pastel blue and pink.

The 3 photo is from a baby shower where they didn't know the gender, but wanted a really girlie pretty pink theme.

Obviously these all pink cupcakes were for a baby girl's baby shower!  There's something lovely about keeping it simple and all one colour.

This theme was pink, white and black.  The cupcake wrappers were black with white polka dots, and all the cupcakes were decorated with white icing and pink flowers.  I personally like this theme, because its a bit of a more sophisticated twist on traditional white and pink themes.

And of course, our homemade marshmallows are always a favourite at baby showers!  If the theme is pink and white we usually make the following flavours: Vanillla Bean, Roasted Coconut, Raspberry, Raspberry & Coconut, Strawberry.  If the theme is neutral, or a lovely yellow theme, we usually provide Passionfruit, Pineapple & Coconut, Lemon, Banana, Banana & Coconut.

I personally think marshmallows is one of the best sweets you can have at a baby shower, because they're a special treat that you don't see often.  They look fantastic on the table, and also make a great little gift to give your guests when they leave.  At my baby shower we had lovely little pink boxes with Strawberry and Vanilla Bean marshmallows inside.  We had these stacked up on the dessert table, then handed them to all our guests as they left.  Of all the food we provided, the marshmallows were definitely the most talked about item!
