Beautiful Baby Shower Charcuterie Board

No need to try and convince you that charcuterie boards are a hostess’s best friend, you already know that.

And if you do need convincing, just look at this birthday charcuterie board and this summer charcuterie board and try to tell me you’re not going to be everyone’s best friend bringing those to the party!

You just can’t beat the ease of prepping the plate ahead of time and then having one place where everyone can find something they like. It’s perfect for those expecting mothers whose taste buds are ever-changing and for all of the picky guests who just want a little nibble here and there!

This baby shower board is made of beautiful shades of pink and neutral accents that pop in the best way and make it work with everything, no matter which of these baby shower themes you chose!

Simply pair this sweet treat board with a brunch board for a morning shower or savory items for a later shower and you’ve got all the food covered, allowing you more time to spend celebrating the mom or playing baby shower games like this baby shower trivia game!

Worried the color scheme is too feminine? Easily adapt it with a few substitutions.

Search through these Easter charcuterie boards for easy ideas of blue or green treats to change up the color scheme to go with a boy baby shower theme.

I am including the list of all the finger foods I used on my board, but everything can be substituted or omitted.

This post is meant to be more of a reference point than a true recipe. Follow it to a tee if you wish, or be creative, you can’t go wrong. 

1. Fresh fruit – raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries
2. Mini cupcakes – go with the mini ones so they fit well on the board!
3. Vanilla dessert shells – use individual angel food cakes or you could even make my mini fruit tarts or homemade strawberry danishes or strawberry scones!
4. Dipped Oreos – hand dip these for a personalized touch to best suit your theme. Or if you don’t want to do Oreos, you could do chocolate covered peanut butter crackers like my monster crackers!
5. Vanilla & strawberry crème wafers
6. White chocolate covered pretzels – you could also do pink ones or even a combo like my Valentine’s Day pretzels!
7. Decorated sugar cookies – I tend to splurge and get these custom-made to use as the focal point of the board, but you could also just make these homemade cream cheese sugar cookies or these cut out sugar cookies topped with sugar cookie icing and make them yourself!
8. Strawberry shortcake rolls – these strawberry cake balls would also work well!
9. Confetti cake Pop-Tart Bites
10. Pink snowballs – or just go with standard snowball cookies, they’re white and should match!
11. Pink and white candies – butter mints, M&Ms, watermelon rings, Starbursts, Good & Plenty, pink Hershey kisses, mini Kit Kats, and salt water taffy.

The hardest part about creating a charcuterie board is picking the right board. I have an entire selection of boards and serving trays that I use regularly since I make charcuterie boards so often like you can see in this Taylor Swift party food post (there are 10 different boards – all with different boards)!

For this particular baby shower board, I actually used a large pink baking sheet, and it was perfect! You can also use a large cutting board, a grazing board (one of my favorite Mother’s Day gifts ever), or a regular cookie sheet.

Once you’ve decided which board you are going to use, you’re ready to begin.

1 – Prep The Ingredients 

1. Prep all your ingredients like cutting the fruits and unwrapping the foods. I recommend not taking the small things out of the package just yet – you’ll want to just pour on the amounts you’re actually using, not pour out the entire bag.
2. Fill in any bowls you are using with seasonal fruit, small pieces of candy, and dried fruits.
3. Gather all the large items you have and place them before you. Include any bowls you plan on using. This is a great way to help see how many items you have and start to visualize where they are going to go. 

2 – Fill The baby shower charcuterie Board

1. Begin placing the larger food items, bowls, and bite-sized desserts at various places on the board. I like to put the custom sugar cookies on top so they stand out, so set those aside for now. 

2. Once you have arranged all the large items on the themed board, start to fill in the smaller items. This is a great way to add a splash of color by creating a stream of brightly colored gummy candies next to a pale cake. 

3. Keep adding and adjusting as you go until you have everything on the board and are happy with the way it looks. I like to add on the smallest things last to fill in the little gaps and spaces on the board!

4. Top with those set-aside sugar cookies throughout the board. They’re the perfect way to finish the board and really give it that baby shower look!

3 – Serve

1. Serve immediately, or wrap it up until you are ready to serve. If using fresh fruit, it is best to store it in the fridge until served. 
2. Once ready to serve, place the beautiful charcuterie platter in the center of your table along with a variety of serving utensils.

Enjoy the board with the expecting mother and her family and friends! She’s going to love it!
