Check out that spread! The shower was at 2 in the afternoon, so I opted for desserts and snacks. The fruit salads and tomato tarts (I think that's what they're called) were made by three of the party's attendees. Thank you again, ladies! There were a few other treats brought, unfortunately there were no photos of the table once everyone got there. There was just too much fun being had to remember picture taking!
The flowers were inexpensive bouquets from Publix. The paper lanterns were purchased at Hobby Lobby. I had originally planned to hang them, but ran out of time, so they became giant "bubbles" on the main table.
It was very convenient that the shower happened to be around Valentine's Day. I had no problem getting colorful M&Ms.
The mom-to-be requested something of the peanut butter and chocolate variety, so I whipped up some from-the-box brownies and drizzled melted peanut butter on top before baking.
It wouldn't be a party without oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Just sayin'. I live and die by the OCCC.
This is the first time I've made a pinwheel cookie, and they were easy and yummy. These have orange peel in the dough and crushed pecans, cranberries, and brown sugar in the filling.
This cake was my baby. Cherry-almond cake with vanilla buttercream frosting. Sadly, I have no pictures of the inside, but it's PINK, which was the whole reason I decided to make it. It was seriously yummy, as was the frosting. I'll post a recipe for this one later this week, fo sho. The heart toppers are from the Dollar Tree.
So that's the food spread. In case you're wondering, the little glass ornaments floating around the table are bubbles. They were super easy. I'll post a little how-to for those in this series, as well.
