i had the honor of making cupcakes for the baby shower for my friend kim’s daughter, who will be having a baby girl in april-ish. she gave me complete free rein, both for flavors and decor, but insisted i don’t do anything too difficult. she sent me the decor color scheme and i was off to the races.
chocolate cupcakes with a chocolate filling, topped with vanilla buttercream never ever fails. the rosette and drop flower combo also never fails and they were completed in a flash.
i took a million pics. here’s some.
and then more were taken at the shower. also. let me tell you a tale. i was sitting with kim and her friends. chatting. reminiscing. and looked over at casey, talking to all the younger folk. moms with toddlers. childless friends. and had the realization that i was chilling with the grammas. i’m a gramma aged person now. and then i cried. and ate a cupcake.
anyways. they were a hit. and weren’t even the least bit stressful. win-win.
(and i got to eat one, so another win).
