Baby Shower Centerpieces
They now have cute sugar cookie pans at craft stores which are similar to muffin tins only they come in cute shapes and are shallow.
They even come with a groove in the pan, allowing you to place lollipop sticks or wooden dowels into the bottom of the cookies before baking.
Once the cute cookies come out of the oven, let them cool and then frost them. Prepare a fancy flower pot with florist foam in the bottom.
Carefully poke the cookies into the foam, top with decorative grass (we use the crinkly confetti type paper used in gift bags.) Place on the table and there you have an adorable baby shower centerpiece!

Baby Shower Cookies for Favors and Prizes
What better way to thank guests for coming than to give them some fancy cookies! Cookies also make wonderful prizes for game winners!
Cut them into festive baby shower shapes, frost them, wrap them in cellophane and tie with a cute ribbon!
You can even add a little gift tag with a cute saying!
Go a step further and use cookie cutter shapes that fit your shower theme! Trains, planes, butterflies, frogs, princesses...you name it!
You can also cut sandwiches out into matching shapes!
Cute Tip: Use Mini Alphabet Letters to spell out cute baby words such as "baby, smile, happy, bib, bottle or baby's name", wrap them up in a cello bag and give as favors. Guests will have to figure out what their letters spell out.
