Create a couple of dishes with a ‘sudsy’ appearance. Jell-O topped with whipped cream, or any dessert with a meringue topping would be perfect. Little ‘bars of soap’ can be created by baking sugar cookies in a small rectangular shape. Fill an entire cake pan with your sugar cookie batter. Midway through baking, take out the pan and cut into rectangles. Once fully baked, frost your rectangles with a topping to match your shower’s color palette.
