The perfect baby shower must have two things: fun games and delicious snacks. While we can’t help with the first part, we do have an entire e-Bakery of sweet and savory snacks! Create a crowd-pleasing baby shower food table and party favors with these easy ideas from Michel & Augustin. No cooking or baking is required, oui oui!
Wow-Worthy Cookie Platters
Elevate your dessert table with Michel & Augustin Cookie Squares, elegantly arranged on platters for maximum appeal. You can arrange French cookies on trays in any way you want: stacked on the platter, radiated from the center like flower petals, etc.
Don’t know which cookies to include on your platter? We have three options: Dark chocolate and a pinch of sea salt, Milk chocolate and melty caramel and Chocolate and toasted hazelnuts. Our authentically French Cookie Squares are baked with real butter and just the right amount of sweetness to please your guests’ taste buds. Decorate your cookie platters with your favorite flavors and other cookie favorites to provide variety!
**Clever Baby Shower Snack Idea: Use individually wrapped cookies on your platter to ensure all-day freshness!
Simple Cookie Favor Boxes
Though many baby shower cookie favors are customized, this often requires extra time and planning. Simplify your favors with our buttery shortbread cookies. Their small size makes them ideal for custom cookie favor boxes! To make your boxes, you’ll need transparent acetate favor boxes, tags, safety pins, festive ribbon and your cookies of choice.
How to Make Cookie Favor Boxes
- Place 5 to 6 individually wrapped French chocolate cookies in each party box. Keeping them wrapped adds bright color to the cookie favors!
- Close the box and wrap the ribbon around the box into a bow.
- Attach the favor tag to the ribbon using a safety pin.
Want more baby shower snack ideas and cookie favors? Instead of clear boxes, you could also add cookies to small mason jars with lids or wrap them with cellophane!
Spell it Out
Make your snack table stand out with letter serving trays filled with Michel & Augustin Cookie Squares! Both reusable ceramic letter trays and fillable cardboard letters will work. Choose your favorite French cookies, then stack or layer them in the trays until they’re completely filled. Try not to leave any empty space! These letter trays are also great for Cheese Biscuits, charcuterie, candies and your other baby shower snacks.
You have two options: use a single letter or many to spell out a name/word.
Savory Party Platters
Baby shower snack ideas should be easy to eat, easy to serve and allow guests to mingle, like our Cheese Biscuits! They’re available in two flavors: Parmesan with mustard seeds and Comté with black pepper. These cheesy crackers are enjoyable on their own, but we especially love them on party platters.
With their wide variety of flavors and textures, party platters appeal to almost everyone’s tastes! They’re also quite simple to prepare in advance. Create a classic charcuterie board or a cheese platter with a variety of snacks, such as Parmesan and Comté Cheese Biscuits, gourmet cheeses, cured meats and jams.

Grazing Table
A grazing table is another great baby shower snack idea! Best suited for more casual baby showers, grazing tables are colorful spreads that include meats, cheeses, fruits, crackers, cookie treats and more. They’re similar to charcuterie boards and buffets. However, they’re much larger than traditional cheese boards and more meticulously styled than buffets. Grazing tables also include small bites that wouldn’t be found on charcuterie boards, such as canapés and mini sandwiches.
You can create a flat-lay graze table using minimal trays and boards. Or, you can mix and match trays, boards and pedestals to make a visual impact. Some snack ideas for your baby shower grazing table include:
- Cookie Squares: Dark chocolate and a pinch of sea salt, Milk chocolate and melty caramel, and Chocolate and toasted hazelnuts
- Cheese Biscuits: Parmesan & French Comté
- Figs, grapes and dried fruits
- Gourmet cheese
- Dips and spreads
- Olives
- Honey
- Crudités
We take snacking seriously. That’s why we suggest using two or more of these baby shower snack ideas and gourmet gifts. You can never have too many snacks, and we think your guests will agree! Bon appétit!
