Trying New Foods Without Going Broke

There is such a large world of different food types to try that often you are left wondering how to sample them all without going broke. I love food and have been fascinated by worldwide cuisine since I was a young child as my family travelled a lot. I love to cook new foods at home now, but I hate the cost of all the ingredients. My blog is all about food from around the world, and how to cook it on a budget. From buying spices online to sourcing cheaper cuts of meat, my blog posts will have you cooking up a storm in your kitchen in no time at all.

3 Baked Goods To Serve At A Baby Shower

by Brad Sullivan

Whether your best friend is having a baby, your sister, your cousin, or anybody else in your life, it's nice to show that you love them by throwing them a baby shower. In addition to getting party decorations and presents, make sure that you serve a lot of food for everyone to enjoy, including some baked goods. Who doesn't love a fun, baked treat? 

Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are always a fun treat; especially when they're decorated really well. One of the great things about sugar cookies is that you can use them as a party favor for all of the guests to take home. When making sugar cookies, consider getting a fun cookie cutter shape, like a baby rattle cookie cutter from companies like Truly Mad Plastics LLC. If they are having a boy you can put blue sprinkles and frosting on it, and vice versa for a girl. 

A Cake

If you really want to win as a hostess, then consider having a fancy cake made to serve at the baby shower. For instance, you can have a "naked cake" made, which is where it's minimally frosted and then you can put fresh flowers on top. Or, you can do a multiple-tiered cake that's covered in fondant. Whatever cake you decide to get, just make sure that you put it on a pretty cake stand or plate so that it looks even prettier. 

Doughnuts 

Another really fun thing that you can do is get a bunch of fancy doughnuts form a bakery. Then, you can layer the doughnuts on a cake stand and put them on the center of the food table. The fun thing about doughnuts is that they are affordable, and just about everybody loves them. You can get lots of different flavors so that you can appease everyone without having to try too hard. If you have the extra time, try to pre-order your doughnuts ahead of time so that they can put sprinkles on them that fit the gender of the baby. 

Having good food at a baby shower is a must if you want to not only make the mom-to-be happy, but if you want to make the guests happy as well. If you are a baker yourself, or if you just want to go to a bakery, these are all tips that you should consider using. To learn a little bit more about these and other types of baked goods to get, visit a local bakery near you and see if they can help you out.
