Baby Shark Party Food Ideas

Our shark fin cupcakes are the BEST way to celebrate a baby shark birthday party. They're super easy to make. You can use your own favorite cupcake recipe (or even a boxed cake mix) and then just follow the decorating instructions. They'll be a huge hit at the party!

This shark bark will look great on your dessert table or wrapped in cellophane and sent home with party guests as favors. You can always leave off the red food gel if you think it's too gruesome for the kids. The gummy sharks on the white and blue background will be just as awesome!

What's a party without some punch? This yummy shark-themed drink is a delicious blend of Hawaiian punch, cream of coconut, and lemon lime soda. You'll need a gummy shark or two swimming around in each drink, too.

Choose your favorite blue drink, some vanilla ice cream, and your shark attack accessories to make these fun and easy ice cream floats. The lifesaver "floatie" is a nice touch!

You're going to love how easy these are to make, but they really have that WOW factor, too. Use pre-packaged rice krispies treats, melting chocolate, gummy sharks, and sprinkles to put these yummy treats together in no time.

Okay, so you probably wouldn't enjoy catching an actual shark on your fishing pole, but catching gummy sharks on pretzel rod fishing poles isn't just fun—it's delicious!

Here's another great idea using rice krispies treats! These are homemade, but you can use the store-bought ones in a pinch, too. Then wrap them up with the candies as seen here, and your treats are ready to rock.

You've heard of charcuterie boards, but how about shark-cuterie? This is the perfect snack board for kids featuring yummy sweets like donuts turned into life preservers, strawberries, and gummy sharks, as well as savory options like goldfish and quesadillas.

Here's another terrific baby shark party favor idea that's really frugal! Combine a mix of fish-themed salty and sweet snacks to make a beachy snack mix.

Layer pudding, wafer cookies, and candies to make a yummy shark-themed pudding cup that you can pull together in minutes. The recipe here uses banana pudding, but you could easily use vanilla and dye it blue or any other flavor you'd like. Simple and yummy!

You won't find any sharks here, but you will find lots of cute ocean animal cookies that'll look great with all the shark-themed goodies on your dessert table. Or package them individually in small cellophane bags for super cute favors.

For a baby shark birthday party, you'll probably want to make the mocktail version of these Blue Lagoon popsicles, but the adults may enjoy the cocktail version! Either way, these popsicles will be super refreshing on a hot summer day.

If any of your party attendees have food allergies, these grain-free homemade goldfish can be a great alternative to the store-bought version. Plus, they're healthier, too.

Shark-themed foods don't have to be complicated. This one is as simple as attaching a cute little shark papercraft to the top of an applesauce cup. You could try it with a pudding cup or Jell-O cup, too.

Speaking of Jell-O, how about some yummy Jell-O shark snacks for the party? Top blue jello with lots of cool whip and gummy sharks. You could even sprinkle some graham cracker crumbs on one side of the dish to look like sand.

Choose the mocktail version of this shark attack punch to keep it kid-friendly or the cocktail version if your fellow grown-ups would like it. It looks so refreshing, and you get a few gummy snacks to enjoy after you've finished off your drink.
