Ruffles and Lace Baby Girl Shower - March 2012

We threw this shower for a work friend of mine who's nothing but a guy's guy.  I tried to keep it simple and not too girly, but everyone was so excited for this fabulous couple's upcoming arrival I couldn't help but go a little crazy with the ruffles and lace :) 

Here are the diaper cakes & ruffle table skirt I made. 

Here's the dessert table complete with homemade cinnamon cupcakes, chocolate beer cupcakes, banana bread, cake pops, and onesie sugar cookies...

Here are other pics from the party...

All the foods were from Costco...love that place for quick and easy foods :)

Here's the lunch table before the food arrived...

Here is the happy couple!

Sweet Baby Sprinkle - Part 1 of 2

We planned this party for a friend from work who was having their 2nd baby, but this time a little girl.  They asked for low key, green and yellow; just a relaxing party at their clubhouse.  I added some grey since my new favorite color combination is yellow and grey.  This post is 1 of 2 showing pictures from the party setup. 

This was my first food display table and I had a lot of fun with it.

I finally got the chance to use this centerpiece cake stand, which I love. 
I found it at Marshall's where I find a lot of dessert display pieces.   

These cheese cake cups were so easy to make.  I found this recipe on http://www.hostessblog.com/
Just cream cheese mixed with whipped cream & sugar, and separated by graham cracker crumbs.

to create, and poppers, helicoptors, and finger puppet toys.
