All things food!


So- in planning this baby shower- it is no big surprise that the easiest part is the food!
Maybe cause I love food and maybe more so that I am watching what I eat- so it all looks amazing!
We are not doing a meal. We are doing a big dessert table! Yummy right??
The shower is on a Saturday night at 6:30...

Look at the yummy desserts that we have picked out for the table...

This will be the main cake. We are only doing a little round cake cause there will be SOOOO many sweets... I am doing a coconut one cause I am crappy at frosting. The coconut will cover it.


These are the cupcakes I ordered from a local lady. Since it is a garden party- I loved these flower designs. We are also having hydrangea ones. The colors are perfect too!


The hubs and I are making these. I ordered the mini tins. He is a pie maker! I am even doing the little toothpick flags. I think we are doing 3-4 different pies...


One of my friends Grace is making a trifle... or strawberry shortcake sort of one...


Found the recipe for these little apple donut holes. They are baked and super easy!!! How cute will these be? I am thinking of what sort of serving dish to use...


I am tempted to make these gorgeous little beauties... Thinking little "J" on them (for Jackson)

Have to have some sort of healthier option as well. This fruit salad is super easy. It is actually more of a dip than a salad... and those yummy cinnamin/sugar homemade chips...

These sunburst cookies are another easy thing. The color is a big part of what I love about them...

Have to have some sort of chocolate too. These are turtle cheesecake truffles. They are literally SUPER easy. Cream cheese mixed with graham crackers. Dip them in chocolate. Crushed pecans on top with a drizzle of caramel... Mmmmm...

We will also have little bowls of nuts. My mother in law rocks and sent me a ton of different types of nuts. There are candied ones... salty ones... mixed styles... We figured there should be something that is not sweet- to balance the table!! lol

Lets look at the drinks too...






Meghan bought these adorable drink canisters from Crate n Barrel. One will have sweet tea in it and the other will have sparkling punch...


These adorable little tags will be on the canisters:)



Sort of a table like we are aiming for!

This is the sparkling punch that we are using... It will be in one of the canisters... Instead of each glass having fruit like that- the canister will have the fruit in it... How yummy looking and just simply adorable looking!


Thanks for listening! This party is amazingly fun to plan. It may have something to do with the amazing person I am planning it for!

I'd like the recipe for those apple donut holes. Were they good?
