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.

Candyland Party

This year Boo's birthday party theme was "Candyland." We had plenty of inspiration for this fun party from this site . Here are some pictures I took at Boo's party! The candy buffet was made up of favorite candies I had bought on sale whenever possible, beginning a few weeks before the party. Most of the containers are from the $Tree. A pad of construction paper was used to create this Candyland path. My oldest, Miss Independent, painted this "Gingerbread Tree" for a bean bag toss game. The party guests earned tickets based on how many of three bean bags they tossed through the openings. We used a piece of foam and painted it for our Princess Lolli lollipop game. The kids each pulled out a lollipop, the color at the end of the lollipop stick earned them one, two, or three tickets (at the end of the party tickets earned at various stations were exchanged for prizes). Party guests visited Princess Frostine, making ice cream creations at her stat

Peppermint and White Chocolate Bark

One of the treats I make each Christmas is peppermint and white chocolate bark. It is super easy to make and delicious! Here's how: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Crush 12 candy canes. Melt 8 oz of white chocolate (wafers or baking bar) in the microwave, stirring every thirty seconds until melted. Add one teaspoon of peppermint extract and the crushed candy canes and mix. Quickly spread this mixture on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet to create a layer about 1/4 of an inch thick. Refrigerate for at least half an hour, then, break into pieces and serve! You can also melt a cup of milk chocolate chips or wafers and quickly spread on top of the bark before breaking it apart. Just refrigerate for another 30 minutes after adding the chocolate. Enjoy!

Max and Maexchen Animal Stories on Kindle

Today I want to tell you about one of my favorite children's books, written by one of my favorite people: My Mom! The book is called "Max and Maexchen" and each story found in the book is now available in Kindle format! Even though the stories are currently only available in German (one of her favorite daughters is helping her translate them into English ;-)), the illustrations alone are worth the purchase. For those of you who do read German, you will love the animal stories told by a loving dad to his son "Little Max." My mom did a fantastic job integrating scientific facts about each animal into each of these engaging children's stories. You can order the first story (for Kindle)   Max and Maexchen here. Happy Reading!!
