Top treats to serve at your upcoming bridal shower

Lets face this honestly - there's nothing like good news to make us hungry, and as far as exciting announcements go, weddings take the cake.

This stands as all the more reason to make little edible indulgences a focus at your bridal shower, especially since you can reason with your guests that you still have several months to go until the wedding, which gives you plenty of time to drop those unwanted pounds.

Designer cookies and cakes are both delicious and visually stunning, so serve up platters of couture bridesmaids dress cookies or marshmallow chocolate cookie wedding cakes. These pint-sized stacked cakes will whet everyone's appetites and get them ready for the real thing.

Those who insist on counting calories at your event can still have a ball without indulging in sweet treats. Individual towel cakes look like cheesecake from far away, but up close, they're really just cleverly-stacked towels. Mini cupcake soaps are also charming ways to indulge the bath and body sensibilities of your crowd without forcing them to break their diets.
