Baby Shower Fun!
My friend, Marcie, is having a baby soon, a baby girl, Isabel.
We threw her a shower this past Saturday, and I had a blast putting some things together for the event.
Of course I offered to do the floral arrangements and cupcakes :) Two of my favorite things to do, arrange flowers and bake.
The colors were pink, blue, and green.
I used willow balls and just tucked in some flowers for easy, but elegant arrangements.
I also made some burp cloths for her baby girl. As a new mom, I have learned that one can never have enough burp cloths!
The fabric options for girls are so much cuter than what they have for boys! I had a blast making these! Let me know if you'd like some! I have alot of leftover fabric :) (my favorite is the argyle pattern :)
And then there were the cupcakes!
The grand idea was to make everything from scratch; cake batter, frosting, and decor.
Well, 2 out of 3 is not bad. The cake batter was a disaster. I think i overfilled the cups and the all ended up touching each other, and the tops were sunken in. So I had to resort to a box of Duncan Hines, hey! it was an emergency.
However, the
fondant was made from scratch, and the
frosting too! The best homemade frosting I have come across to date! YUM!!!
Here is the final product! I still need alot of practice with my frosting piping and my fondant was a little cracked... but I had so much fun doing it! and i plan on doing some more! Anyone need a free wedding cake??!!! I'm feeling up to a challenge ;-)
