This is a question for my shower but I am not hosting! My SIL is. But we can't decide on a dessert. We wanted to do sugar cookies but the place she found that could do them to match our theme is 15 a dozen. Holy crap! And I hate cake..
So what dessert are you having or did have at your shower?

If I came to a baby shower and there wasn't cake I would probably leave. LOL, the cake is the best part!!!
I would do cake and cookies in your case (that way you and the guests are hopefully happy). Maybe just some store bought cookies. $15 for 12 is not an option.
mm I love cake, that is what I am looking forward to the most. Does anyone in your family bake? Store bought may not be bad either if your set on cookies. Maybe even browse through the section and see what's out there. I've got ideas, but things like strawberry shortcake probably won't be practical.
What about strawberry shortcake? Refreshing... Summer appropriate... Affordable. You can skip the cake part and just eat berries and whipped cream!
ETA, tartlets. They can get small shells in the freezer section, bake them, fill them with lemon curd and top with berries and a mint sprig. Also affordable and baby shower appropriate.
Those sound delicious

Do you have a Sams or a Costco? You could do cupcakes, or mini cheesecakes. They also sell miniture pie crusts that you could fill with just a cream cheese mix and then add whatever fruit you want on top! Or fruit pizza. Or brownies. I obviously love desserts and love baking, haha.
May sound ridiculous, but if you go with store bought get the kind that the bakery makes at Walmart. Even out of homemade cookies, these are my favorite cookies. We always get the sugar, chocolate chip, and rainbow chip. SO good! Just put them on a cute tray, no one will have to know. ;
I have been craving ice cream so my MIL set up an ice cream bar - complete with all the possible fixing you could ever want (reeses, sprinkles, fudge, caramel, etc). It turned out to be a huge hit.
