Baby showers are a great way to celebrate parents-to-be and to get ready for the arrival of a new baby. Along with presents and socializing, food and treats have become a big highlight at such events. Among all of the dessert options, you could serve up macarons at a baby shower. The light and airy dessert offers a number of flavors.
Along with serving the dessert, you could incorporate the treat into the actual baby shower in several different ways. Check out some of the fun options and base your macaron order on the activities you choose to include with your baby shower.
1. Gender Reveals
Pastry chefs can often transform a macaron into any color you choose. The color options give you the opportunity to turn the dessert into a fun gender reveal. If the parents-to-be already know the gender, then they can use the macarons to share the surprise with everyone at the party.
For example, if the couple has a girl, then you could order a few dozen pink macarons, pack them in boxes and then have everyone open the dessert at the same time. You would order blue macarons if the baby was a boy. For a reveal to the parents, you would only pack one or two colored macarons into a box and have the couple open it in front of everyone,
2. Baby Face Décor
Turn the dessert into a fun food craft for everyone at the baby shower. Order some sets of cake writer frosting sets to bring to the baby shower. Hand out a few macarons to each guest along with the writing frosting. Have each person draw what they think the baby will look like. The flat edge of a macaron offers an ideal shape for a baby's head.
Once everyone presents their funny drawings, everyone can eat the desserts. Take pictures to remember the different creations everyone came up with.
3. Baby Shower Favors
If you put together favor boxes for everyone who attended the baby shower, then you have the option to pack some macarons into the favor boxes. Purchase plastic food baggies with a twist tie. Give each person one or two macarons in the bags and send them home with a nice treat to enjoy at a later time. Order a variety of macaron flavors and then surprise each person with a mix of flavor options.
4. Guessing Game
Take a small jar and carefully place a few dozen or so macarons inside. Fill up the jar so the macarons fit tightly but do not squish down or ruin their shape. Make sure to count the total number of macarons inside the jar. Order different flavors and colors to add a fun and festive look to the jar design.
Set the jar up on one of the display tables along with some small slips of paper and an empty cup. Throughout the baby shower, guests can come up and guess the exact amount of macarons inside the jar. Near the end of the shower, you can announce the winner. The winner will receive the whole jar to keep and eat as a prize.
5. Child-Themed Flavors
When you order macarons, you will come across a wide variety of flavor options. Keep with the theme of a baby shower and pick flavors that young children would love. For example, a birthday cake macaron tastes like cake batter and includes colorful sprinkle designs. A colorful cereal flavor includes real cereal pieces and serves as a reminder of childhood breakfasts.
Browse through the full selection of macaron flavors to pick some of the sweetest and brightest flavors that a child would love. The theme fits in well with a baby shower and will give guests a lot of options to choose from.
