Baby Showers!


I remember when I first started going to baby showers (sometime back in the 90's) and the snack tables would be full of your typical party goodies: fruit & veggie trays, dips, cookies and squares. Nothing fancy, often a potluck.

Now, when I go to baby showers, the snack table is often the highlight of the party (after the baby, of course!). I'm always amazed when the hosts put so much creativity and thought into a beautiful display, arranging all kinds of treats on pretty plates. I've been to showers with candy bars, with hand-crafted banners on the tables, and with tiered platters of hand-decorated baking. That last one is where we come in.

At Grandin Bakery, we love to get in on the baby shower fun, too! Some of our favorite orders are the ones we make for baby showers. Here are a few photos of sweet cupcakes that we've done for some soon-to-be and new mamas:



And you can always add a small cake, or just do cake instead of cupcakes:



 Hand-decorated cookies are also becoming popular for baby showers, either for at the party, or as favours. Head to your local craft or party store for some bags and ribbon, and you can put together special take-home gifts to say thank you to the guests.

 
 

Best of all, our cupcakes, cakes and cookies are customizable. Just call Grandin Bakery at 780-459-6560 and we can help you choose colors and decorations to match the rest of your party. Happy celebrating!
