Not too long ago I was on Pinterest and saw a very creative idea for a baby shower. Someone had carved a watermelon to mimic a bassinet with a baby inside (one of the pictures below). That got me thinking about what other creative ideas for baby shower food might be out there. So after lots of searching I’ve compiled a list of some of the most creative baby shower food ideas, and food art, the web has to offer. Enjoy!

Blue for a boy’s baby shower, pink for a girl’s. Or do both if you don’t know!

These ideas are so wonderful! I’m going to try and make the Kermit fruit and vegi tray. I also love the rubber duck punch. Please let me know if you find the source so I can get the recipe.
Thanks!

She has some great ideas there!
What is the baby’s head made of in the watermelon bassinet?
Im pretty sure it is a peeled canteloupe. Such a fun idea and one of my favorites.
Cantaloupe!
Hi there
What did you use to put the faces on the babies in a blanket?
We didn’t actually make them, but the guidance I saw was to use food coloring and a toothpick. Here’s another site with similar food where they advsied to use that method. http://stbrigidsacademy.blogspot.com/2012/01/sibling-shower.html
Marvelousss..all the ideas are out of the world.I really want to try that boiled egg carriers.
What is being used as the rattle handle in the rattler cupcakes?
I’m not exactly sure. My guess would be plastic popsicle sticks glued or somehow fixed to a white lifesaver mint. The source only tells of making the big rattle cake here http://www.coolest-birthday-cakes.com/creative-baby-shower-cakes.html#c6
It looked like sucker sticks with lifesavers somehow attached to the end.
would love to get the recipe for Rubber ducky punch bowl.

Giving my first baby shower for my grnddaughter. I want it to be very special. I would love to make the Rubber Duck Punch Bowl and the Hardboiled egg baby buggy. Pleas he me. Thanks bj
Here’s the guide for making the rubber duck punch bowl. Such a great idea, one of my favorites that I’ve found. http://tidymom.net/2011/ducky-baby-shower-punch/
And here’s a video on YouTube for the baby stroller hard boiled eggs http://youtu.be/0Achk2unNmo
I was wondering if you could give me a link to make the Watermelon Fruit Basket with the baby in the stroller please? Thanks!!
Here’s a good youtube video on it. http://youtu.be/4yl7D_eByf8 . You can modify if you’re looking to have the “baby face” with the peeled cantelope and grape halves for eyes.
How do you make Rubber Duck Punch Bowl-Punch? I have made punch kind of like that with ice-cream but that don’t look like ice-cream to me, please send me directions if there is anyone out there that know. Thanks
