27 Funny, Fabulous (And Wrong) Baby Shower Food Ideas
Is it a baby shower organiser’s job to impress the mother-to-be or horrify her? Perhaps a good healthy dose of both?
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.
Whether you’re after baby shower food that is practical and sensible, fun and funny or downright gross and gruesome, this long list right here will give you a starting point to dazzle guests.

Some of these treats are all about the flavour and some offer a special twist of baby-related fun.

Those avocado puff pastries and hot ham and cheese biscuits will be gone in an instant while everyone will be eager for a second cup of dip. Yummo!
