A Baby Shower

One of Josie's teachers is expecting a baby later this year.  Jessica, a mother from Josie's class, thought it would be a neat idea to host a baby shower for her.  Jessica brought the diaper cake and planned a game and I brought the cupcakes and took pictures.  We made a great team!

Josie's teacher doesn't know the gender of the baby yet, so we thought yellow would be an appropriate color choice.  


And because the wrapping paper had polka dots on it, I put polka dots on the cupcakes.  You'd think we planned it this way!  ;)  I got the little toppers from Ben Franklin Crafts.  They are a Wilton product.



It was a super fun celebration and it's always a treat to send the kids home all hyper from the sugar rush!   Congrats to Josie's teacher!!  We can't wait to meet this new addition!

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, NEW Fish

Sue called and requested a Cake Mama Cake for a baby shower she was co-hosting.  The theme was One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, NEW Fish.  What a cute idea, eh?    I immediately went to my new obsession, Pinterest, and got some great ideas for the occasion.  And here's what I made.  

This is a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.  Whenever I do a carrot cake, I LOVE the basketweave on the sides because, come on...who DOESN'T love cream cheese frosting?!!!



The little decorations are made out of gum paste and fondant and I used an edible food marker to color in the details.

I hope the shower was super fun!
