Christening decorations for girls & boys
There are 110 products.
Christening decorations for girls and boys in pink and light blue bring colour to the celebration, from the christening cake to the festive table. In this category you will find what you need for a christening in soft baby colours: fondant and sprinkles for cakes and cupcakes, cake boards, cupcake cases, cake toppers, garlands, balloons, and tableware and table decorations in pink or blue. Much of it is just as suitable for a baby shower or a birth celebration.
Ideas for the christening cake and cupcakes
For the cake there is fondant in several shades of pink such as Sweet Pink, Pretty Pink and Pastel Pink, as well as Baby Blue, pastel blue and Sea Blue, plus fondant kits in pink and white or blue and white. Pink or blue drip, nonpareils, sugar pearls, crispy chocolate pearls, jelly diamonds, mini meringues and sugar flowers add accents. Baby pink and baby blue sugar decorations suit the little one being christened, light pink and baby blue dust colours tint sugar flowers and fondant details, and chocolate-flavoured pens let you write on biscuits or plaques.
Decorating the table and the room
Bunting in baby pink and light blue and a personalisable blue garland, spelled out with gold letters, decorate walls and windows. Sky-blue natural latex balloons and pink or light blue confetti cannons set the mood at the reception after the service. On the table, combine paper or plastic tablecloths, cotton gauze table runners, paper plates and cups, napkins, straws and wooden cutlery in the same colour. Blue place cards show guests to their seats, and pink or blue organza bags hold small christening favours.
Tips for well-coordinated christening decorations
- Stick to one colour family and play with shades: baby pink, pastel pink and dusky pink look soft and elegant together.
- Repeat the colour of the cake in the cupcake cases and napkins so the table looks perfectly coordinated.
- Pink or blue mini meringues and soft sugar pearls are suitable for young children too and work well as cupcake decorations.
- A cake topper such as the wooden "Oh Baby" or the wood-and-paper "Hey Baby Botanical" crowns even a simple white-covered cake.
What should you look out for when buying?
The pink and baby blue cake boards come in round and square versions in 25 cm and 30 cm. Choose a board slightly larger than the cake so there is room around it for sprinkles or lettering. With cupcake cases it pays to check the size and quantity, as there are mini cases for bite-sized treats alongside the standard ones. Also make sure the shades of fondant, sprinkles and table decorations go together: there is a clear difference between pastels and stronger tones such as hot pink or Sea Blue.
Frequently asked questions about christening decorations
Which fondant colours suit a christening cake?
For a girl, Sweet Pink, Pretty Pink or Pastel Pink work well, for a boy Baby Blue, pastel blue or Sea Blue. The fondant kits in pink and white or blue and white give you two matching colours in one go.
What makes a good christening favour in pink or blue?
Pink or blue organza bags can be filled with sugared almonds, biscuits or pralines and placed at each setting. Add blue place cards so guests find their seats straight away, and the little bags double as table decoration.
Are the christening sprinkles gluten-free?
The "baby pink" and "baby blue" nonpareils are expressly labelled gluten-free. For all other sprinkles, please check the ingredients on the individual product page.
