A very very dear friend of mine just recently had her first baby shower. This was SUCH a special occasion for all of us! The couple had been trying for a long time and started to get pretty discouraged. Being a close friend, a few of us were along for the roller coaster of a ride. Sad times were definitely had :( BUT then, like many things..they stopped "trying" and WHAM...she got pregnant. Oh and did I mention all she wanted was to be pregnant with a little girl...and she's having a boy? Isn't life funny that way?
Anyway, we all couldn't be more happy for her and the wonderful daddy-to-be. Seriously.
Back to the shower...I was so honored when I was asked to be the (sort of) photographer for the day! Other than baking, another hobby of mine is photography. I LOVE IT! So, naturally I said "HECK YEAH!" The theme was "Cute As A Button", the color scheme was white, blue and orange and almost every single decoration was made by the new mama (with a little help from of few of us ;)


Ahem....these edible buttons took my friend and I about...oh 49857364 hours to make!!! How long did it take for them to melt in the sun? About one minute....
"Oh it's like a multicolored white chocolate candy bar now! Pretty cool!" some said...To that I replied, "No, no it is not..." HAHAHA.



ALL (and I mean ALL) the cookies were made by the dad-to-be's mom!!! THEY WERE RIDICULOUSLY GOOD...and gone in a matter of minutes.


I had to sneak in one shot of us all :)
THE CAKE!!!!! *drool*



I think it's safe to say her "thank you" speech was an emotional one for us all.




The details are gorgeous. Where is the venue?
ReplyDeleteOh thank you! It was held at a military base in our town. :)
