Kristen's Shower

One of my best and oldest friends is getting married in a month, I am very excited for her and cannot wait for her wedding!  Kristen and I sat next to each other in Kindergarten and have been friends ever since.  We played sports together growing up, she vacationed with my family and then we lived together in NYC after college.  We used to get quite the look when we went out together and we both introduced ourselves with the same name because we are also both petite with medium dark brown hair.  Her shower was this past weekend at the beautiful Glen Cove Mansion.  You can tell they do a lot of showers and weddings there; they were pros, super helpful and very prepared.  Savanna came with me for the first part of the shower and Chris was Mr. Flexible and came out to LI early and then picked her up (He also has her for his first solo weekend when I go to Florida for Kristen's Bachelorette).  Savanna enjoyed meeting some of my friends from High School that she hadn't met yet.  I was honored to do the dessert table for the shower and I wanted to share the details with you.  Per the bride's request I made a banana cake with chocolate filling, chocolate covered pretzels, mini mixed berry pies, cake pops and heart cookies.  Her bridesmaids dresses are a pretty coral from Jcrew so I did a color palette of light pink, coral and white.  

I hope everyone has a wonderful Mother's Day Weekend!

April Projects

Good Morning and Happy Friday!  I wanted to share some of the projects that I worked on in April with you today.  I am sorry I have not been great about getting good photos so these are all instagram.  Hope you are enjoying this wonderful weather - Have a great weekend!

These were Monogram Whale Cake Pops for a Whale Themed First Birthday Party.  I had the tags made by the wonderful Jaime who is the owner of a creative online paper store, Bushel and Peck.  You should check out her etsy site too!

I made these wine bottle cookies for my friend Stephanie's shower (which I was unfortunately unable to attend).  It was a late afternoon shower with wine and appetizers.  To go with the wine I also made dark chocolate covered cake pops with rock salt and red wine chocolate cupcakes.

I made a little Hippo cake for the welcoming of Baby Harper.  The shower for her was supposed to be the weekend we had the snow storm in February so they postponed it and had a welcoming party instead.  

The Baby Boy Cake Pops were for a shower. The Baby Girl Cake Pops were for her big brothers to take to school and brag about their new little sister :)

These frog cake pops were for a frog themed baby shower.  The adorable Lily pad tags were made by Jaime from Bushel and Peck as well!

80th Birthday Party Cake!
