Baby Shower Catering in Sydney

A baby shower usually needs food that is easy to share, simple to serve and generous enough to keep the gathering moving. Empanadas can work as a warm centrepiece or alongside cake, salads and other dishes.

The short answer: decide whether empanadas are the main food or part of the spread, then share your date, guest count, suburb and serving time. We will recommend a suitable baked or frozen order.

How many empanadas should you plan?

How empanadas are served	Starting guide	Best for
Alongside cake and a larger grazing spread	2 per guest	Afternoon gatherings with several other food options.
Shared food for the event	2 to 3 per guest	A relaxed baby shower lunch or afternoon celebration.
The main food offering	3 to 4 per guest	Longer events where empanadas are the central meal.

Use these as a guide. The ideal order depends on how long guests will stay, the rest of the menu and your group’s appetite.

Baked or frozen?

Baked boxes suit hosts who want food ready to serve when guests arrive.
Frozen boxes work well where there is oven access and you want more control over timing.
For a larger order, share the venue and serving plan so we can confirm the best format for your event.
