Upon my arrival home, five days ago, I started to cook, prepare, clean, shine, bake, etc., for my niece's baby shower, after two girls she's having a boy.
Bellow, my antique Meissen bowl with girls playing.
The cake I made was carrot cake, walnuts, with coconut flakes, toasted, to resemble hay for some farm animals and babies.
The cupcakes were really yummy, I did this recipe with apple and apple juice and cream cheese frosting, they were very moist!
I decorated them with baby figure things and a white chocolate baby on top. The figurines are eatable.
Sugar cookies, mocha cheese cake bars. The empty plates are awaiting my Sil's little sandwiches, who was late!
The centerpiece.
Thank you wonderful hostesses for the great parties!
LOVE,
FABBY
