Baby Shower - Diaper Cake and Giant Onesie Cupcakes!

A few weeks ago a couple of friends and I hosted a baby shower for a sweet friend, due with her first baby girl soon! We all provided food and my oldest made the beautiful, mod pink and brown cake. We also served Raspberry Sherbet pie, fruit, cookies, and delicious cheese dip.





A diaper cake, several giant Onesie cupcakes (tutorial here), and baby sock cupcakes, served as decorations.




We had a great time celebrating the Mommy-To-Be!

  1. What a great post it was and your Baby Shower - Diaper Cake and Giant Onesie Cupcakes are cute but hilarious! Loved taking a look at these photos. Even your color scheme for these cupcakes is very eye-catching. At the nearby venue NYC I also would be hosting the baby shower for my sister and would like to makeuse of this color scheme.

Tile Coaster Tutorial

Tile coasters are easy and fun to put together and make wonderful gifts! Best of all, they are inexpensive and functional ! Here's what you'll need: Modge Podge (available at craft stores) 12x12 scrapbooking paper (scrap paper is fine too, you'll need 4x4 squares) 4x4 tiles (13 cents and up at home improvement stores) foam brush felt pads (any size, four per tile, found at Home Depot, Lowes etc.) clear acrylic spray Cut as many 4x4 pieces of scrapbooking paper as tiles. Using the foam brush, cover each tile with a thin layer of Modge Podge. Quickly press the paper unto the tile. Let the Modge Podge/paper dry for 15 minutes. Next, apply a thin layer of Modge Podge over the entire surface of the tile and paper. Let dry, then repeat. Finally, spray each tile with a thin layer of clear acrylic to seal. Add the felt pad to four corners of each tile and...Voila -water-resistant coasters that can be customized to match any season or decor!
Roasted Garlic So easy to make, roasted garlic lends wonderful, rustic flavor to any dish. Just cut the top off a bulb of garlic. Then, add two tablespoons of butter and wrap the bulb in aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. When cool, gently squeeze the softened cloves out of the bulb and use them in any recipe as you desire. I smashed the softened cloves to season a cream sauce - delicious!
DIY Facial Powder and Blush Making your own cosmetics is inexpensive, fun, and chemical-free! Here are a couple of my favorite "recipes" for DIY make-up: Facial Powder Gently mix 1/2 cup of organic cornstarch with 1 teaspoon of organic cacao powder, adding more as needed to match your skin tone. Add 2-3 drops of Melaleuca essential oil (this helps reduce any bacteria growth). Store in air-tight container (recycled glass jars, like canning jars, work well). Blush Gently mix 1/4 cup of organic cornstarch with 1 teaspoon of beet root powder, adding more as needed to achieve the desired intensity of color. Stir in 2-3 drops of Melaleuca essential oil and store in air tight container. Depending on frequency of use, the powder and blush last about two weeks. I would recommend your local health food store to purchase the ingredients for DIY cosmetics. Internet prices may be a little cheaper, but buying local, fresh ingredients is worth it in the long run.
