Easy to eat with one hand and a gift in the other.
A baby shower menu has to work for a room that is sitting, chatting and opening gifts. Food that eats cleanly off a plate on a knee, a dessert table that doubles as the decor, and a cake or dessert cups in the theme colors. The guest of honor should not have to think about any of it, and neither should the host.
Brunch and light lunch are the two shapes: pastries, fruit and a hot dish for a morning shower, sandwiches, salads and a grazing table for an afternoon one. Dessert cups travel well and photograph well, and a themed cake anchors the table.
Brunch starts at $9 per person, lunch spreads at $13, grazing at $11 and dessert at $6. Tell us the date, the headcount, the room and the theme.
Sunday afternoons across Akron.
Baby showers fill Sunday afternoons in every part of the city: living rooms in Firestone Park and Goodyear Heights, church fellowship halls in North Hill and Kenmore, apartment party rooms downtown and in Highland Square, and the bigger houses in Fairlawn Heights, Copley and Green. Restaurant party rooms along Route 18 and on Front Street in Cuyahoga Falls take the larger guest lists.
The food is made at 647 E Market Street the morning of and set on site with the risers and signage, so the display is ready before the first guest and the host is in the room, not the kitchen. Kent, Medina, Canton and Cleveland are reached on a scheduled run.
Dietary needs come up more at showers than most events. The request form has room for every one of them.

This place offers ALL of your catering needs. I don't believe there is anything she can't provide for you. I have had SO many meals and attended SO many events. The Taste of the City (Akron) she provided so many great "samples". An outdoor hibachi grill party with all the trimmings, steak, shrimp, chicken, rice, fresh vegetables also one of my favorites. The taco bar and loaded potatoes are great for staff meetings. The seafood is always top quality, the largest shrimp! The desserts made from scratch are amazing. Cakes, cheesecakes, individual desserts, it doesn't end. Give them a try! Best prices around with professional service.
