Baby showers are a wonderful occasion to come together with friends and family and celebrate a new little life. We're all about the fun games, the fabulous decorations, and most of all … the over-the-top desserts!
While some parents-to-be may keep things simple, others choose to go all out and enlist top bakers to create unforgettable, Instagram-worthy delicacies. We combed the Internet to find the cutest, most awe-inspiring baby shower desserts and, well, you're not about to be disappointed.
Woodland Preciousness
We love a classic, storybook-worthy theme and this one by @luluscustomcookies in Kansas City, Missouri does not disappoint. Possibly inspired by The Tale of Peter Rabbit, this green woodland theme is giving us all the feels.
Oh, Baby!
Can you handle the cuteness? Because we simply cannot. These pink popscicles by @swirlsandcurlsuk are from across the pond (Preston, Lancashire to be precise) and are topped with gold charms from @primandtopper. By simply swapping out the charms, they'd make for a wonderful dessert at any party.
Princess-Worthy Delicacy
Madeleines are a traditional small cake that are eaten as cookies, often with powdered sugar. But we've never seen them dressed up quite this beautifully. We absolutely love the tiny, intricately designed roses that take this classic dessert to the next level.
Sweet As Can Bee
The only thing in this world that's better than a donut is a donut that has been decorated to the nines — and these mini donuts by @nanasprinklesbakeshop in London, Ontario are a slam dunk. While we'd love to give these creations a Bee+, this is Straight-A work.
Beary Delicious
The amount of work that must have gone into these woodland-themed sugar cookies by @sugarandlacecookies in Fort Smith, Arkansas is incredible. One thing's for sure, we'd have taken more than our fair share had we been invited to this baby shower!
Behind-The-Scenes Beauty
The only thing cooler than seeing a banquet of artfully designed desserts before you is watching it all come together behind the scenes. This video by Stephanie of @littlecookie_co shows how much care and precision goes into decorating just one of these baby shower cookies. We're both amazed and more sure than ever that we'll be sticking to our day job.
Sweet Like Hunny
When it comes to baby shower themes, you truly cannot go wrong with Winnie-The-Pooh. The tales of Winnie and his friends in The Hundred Acre Forest are classic, and it's easy to see how inspired this baker was. @simplyirresistiblecakes' stunning creation featuring Winnie and Piglet (as well as a big tub of hunny) has our jaws on the floor.
Simply Irresistible
Lilly is on her way and we really wish we were friends with her parents because her baby shower must have been out of this world! These gorgeous pastel cookies are so stunning, we're not sure how we'd possibly eat them. (At least not before making sure they were Instagrammed.)
Fit For A King
Wow! This castle creation by @mimsiclecakes has absolutely everything: a royal teddy family, a grand entrance, and even a moat of teddybear cupcakes. Talk about attention to detail. This cake must have made for a truly incredible centerpiece at an unforgettable party.
Too Too Cute
Kuddos to Ontario's own @the.curly.top.bakeshop for these one-of-a-kind baby elephant cookies! According to baker Katryn Murray's Instagram post, these were "far from easy" to make but ultimately a real labor of love. Clearly all her hard work paid off.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
We are over the moon for these assorted desserts inspired by the nursery rhyme "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". Between the madeleines, the popscicle bites, and the vanilla sugar wafers, @yvettessweetlife really outdid themselves making sure there was something for everyone.
Cake Pop Heaven
Since the invention of cake pops in 2008, we've been in awe at how creative bakers can get with this fabulous treat. And @justdipit_ is no exception with these delectible blue and pink cake pops, which would also work for a gender reveal party as well.
Beary Beary Nice
We don't know how anyone could have the heart to cut into this absolute masterpiece but we're glad it wasn't our job! This multicolored, bejeweled cake topped with the cutest teddy bear was created by @frommesweet and deserves a virtual standing ovation.
Green With (Dessert) Envy
How hard do you think it was for the photographer not to sneak off with one or two of these bad boys before delivering them to the guests? We can only imagine! These stunning green-and-gold creations by @vaniliadessertco in New Jersey work great for a gender-neutral shower and judging by the comments on the post, they were a big hit!
Over The Rainbow
If you're looking for a beautiful baby shower dessert idea that you could possibly recreate yourself at home, these rainbow pretzels by @yvettessweetlife could be it! (Just don't blame us if they don't come out quite this perfect — sometimes you just need to leave it to the experts!)
Floral Perfection
These gorgeous feminine floral cookies all decked out with baby rattles, strollers, and more are giving us serious spring vibes! Created by Megan Dao of @megansbakeshop1, they'd make for the perfect accent to an outdoor baby shower, don't you think?
